Old Mutual Emerging Markets will be headquartered in South Africa and incorporated into Old Mutual Limited, the group's local holding company.
It is set to list on the JSE on Tuesday with the ticker code JSE:OMU.
"Today is an important milestone in the history of our business and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved. We are delighted to be in a position to list as a stand-alone business and are excited by the opportunities ahead of us," Paul Feeney, Chief Executive Officer of Quilter, said in a statement.
"We are making good progress towards our vision of becoming the UK's leading wealth management business. Our proven multi-channel business model is delivering value for our customers, advisers and shareholders.
"Having established leading positions across one of the largest wealth management markets in the world, and it is a structural growth market, I believe we have great momentum to build on our success and a bright future ahead," he said.
