AMP Limited is a financial services organisation providing services in wealth and investment
management. As at December 2017, the company employed approximately 5,600 staff across
Australia and New Zealand. AMP is one of Australia's largest retail and corporate
superannuation providers and one of the country's most significant investment managers.
The company's business activities include financial planning and advice, corporate and retail
superannuation, retirement income, managed investments, insurance and banking.
In 2010, the ACCC approved AMP's bid to purchase rival AXA Asia Pacific. Under the deal,
AMP sold off AXA's Asian assets to AXA's France-based parent company, AXA SA. The sale of
the Asia business allowed AMP to retain AXA's Australian operations, making it the industry's
largest operator at the time. AMP operates in the industry through its Australian Wealth
Protection and Australian Mature business divisions, in addition to The National Mutual Life
Association of Australasia Limited brand acquired from AXA. The company's offerings include
life insurance and income protection. The company also offers several insurance options in
the event of death, total and permanent disablement, and trauma.
Financial performance
AMP Limited reports its financial results to APRA through AMP Life Limited and The National
Mutual Life Association of Australasia Limited. Net policy revenue from AMP's industry-
specific businesses is expected to rise at an annualised 0.5% over the five years through
December 2018, to $2.12 billion. This growth represents an underperformance of the
industry's net policy revenue growth over the period. Declining profitability in the company's
industry-specific operations has prompted AMP to make changes to its life insurance
business. AMP has announced new reinsurance arrangements to release its capital from the
division.

AMP Limited is an ASX-listed diversified financial services company that mainly focuses on
wealth management. The company was established in 1849 as the Australian Mutual
Provident Society. AMP provides financial advice and services including superannuation,
insurance, banking, savings and investment products, and funds management. The company
was demutualised before being listed on the ASX in 1998. AMP mainly services the Australian
and New Zealand markets, and conducts some investment management activities from its
international offices. The company participates in the industry through its brands AMP
Financial Planning, Charter Financial Planning, Hillross Financial Services and AMP Advice
(formerly ipac securities).
AMP has increased the standards for its network of financial planners over the past two years
due to growing consumer concerns relating to financial planner transparency. The company
has set up an independent review panel to handle customer complaints regarding financial
advice. During the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and
Financial Services Industry, AMP confirmed certain licensees had failed to turn off ongoing
service fees while the customers were under buy-back arrangements. These arrangements,
also known as Buyer of Last Resort, allow an adviser to sell their register or book of
customers to the licensee. According to the AMP Group Submission, Case Study 1: Fees for
no service, approximately 90% of AMP's Advice network of advisers are self-employed small
business owners, and are authorised representatives appointed by AMP Advice licensees.
Tighter industry regulations following the Financial Services Royal Commission may affect the
size of AMP's adviser network.
Financial performance
AMP Limited's industry-specific revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 2.0% over the
five years through December 2019, to $953.1 million, outperforming the overall industry. A
large portion of the company's industry-related growth has been inorganic, but the company
has also grown organically through cross-selling financial services. AMP will likely continue
using its size and brand power to acquire smaller dealer groups that are struggling with
ongoing industry reforms. However, potential regulatory changes following the Financial
Services Royal Commission may hinder these activities. The company's industry-specific
profitability is anticipated to decline over the five years through December 2019 due to
significant acquisition costs and AMP's compensation payments for unwarranted fees.

AMP Limited is a leading wealth management company with over 3.5 million customers in
Australia and New Zealand. AMP is one of Australia's largest retail and corporate
superannuation companies, and manages approximately $257 billion in assets. In March
2011, AMP purchased AXA Asia Pacific Holdings' Australian and New Zealand operations,
strengthening its wealth management business. AXA Asia Pacific Holdings' Asian operations
were purchased by its French parent company AXA SA.
AMP Limited operates in the industry through AMP Capital, an investment manager that
offers services to both retail and wholesale clients. AMP has been attempting to expand its
Asian operations through AMP Capital and to increase customers in high-value segments.
The company intends to conduct mergers and acquisitions to help attain its growth targets.
AMP is also well positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities presented by regulatory
reforms. For example, to capitalise on the shift towards SMSFs, AMP upgraded its stakes in
online SMSF administration companies SuperIQ and SuperCorp to full ownership. In January
2016, AMP rebranded its SMSF unit to SuperConcepts, which provides users with software,
and administrative and educational services regarding their super.
Financial performance
AMP is the industry's largest player based on funds under management (FUM). The
company's industry-specific revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 2.9% over the
five years through December 2019, to $655.5 million. This represents an outperformance of
the overall industry over the same period. AMP's strategy to move into SMSF management
has been successful, indicated by its growing FUM. However, the company's industry-related
revenue has increased at a slower rate than FUM, which demonstrates a decline in fees.
AMP's profit margins have decreased over the past five years following the Financial Services
Royal Commission's findings. The company is anticipated to compensate customers who
were charged fees for services that they did not receive over the next five years.
