2 AMP AMP Investor Report FY 21
Business overview
Overview of the AMP group
AMP is a leading wealth management company in Australia and New Zealand.
The AMP group’s business is divided into four areas:
-
AMP Bank
-
Australian wealth management (including Platforms, Master Trust and Advice)
New Zealand wealth management
New Zealand wealth management encompasses wealth management, financial advice and distribution businesses in New Zealand.
It provides clients with a variety of wealth management solutions including KiwiSaver, corporate superannuation, retail investments, a wrap investment management platform and general insurance.
-
New Zealand wealth management, and
-
AMP Capital.
AMP also holds a number of important strategic partnerships at group and at business unit level.
AMP Bank
AMP Bank offers residential mortgages, deposits and transactional banking. The Bank continues to focus on growth through investing in technology to streamline the origination process, improving the experience for both customers and intermediaries.
As at FY 21, AMP Bank helped around 161,900 clients with their banking needs and provided over 10,700 new home loans.
Australian wealth management (AWM)
AWM comprises of three different business lines providing advice, superannuation, retirement income and managed investments products:
-
Platforms includes superannuation, retirement and investment products through which managed funds, managed portfolios, listed securities, term deposits and guarantee investment options can be accessed to build a personalised investment portfolio. The flagship North platform is an award-winning online wrap platform which continues to deliver on its commitment of strengthening and broadening investment choice for clients and providing a contemporary platform for advisers to manage their clients’ funds.
-
Master Trust offers the largest single retail superannuation product set in Australia (SignatureSuper) with around 850,000 customers. The highly rated SignatureSuper offer consists of three products across super and pension. The open investment menu caters to different risk profiles with exposure to a range of professional managers in order to meet the needs and goals of customers. The Master Trust business delivers high quality member services, with strong administration, contact centre and digital capabilities. It also has a proven pedigree in managing corporate super plans with complex and tailored benefit designs, including defined benefits.
AMP Capital
On 23 April 2021, following the conclusion of AMP’s portfolio review, AMP announced the intention to demerge AMP Capital’s Private Markets business, consisting of infrastructure equity, infrastructure debt and real estate. Subsequently, on 24 December 2021, AMP announced the further simplification of Private Markets with the sale of infrastructure debt, expected to complete Q1 22. The demerger of Private Markets will create two more focused businesses better equipped to pursue and allocate capital to distinct growth opportunities and realise efficiencies.
As part of the demerger preparations, on 8 July 2021, AMP announced the sale of its global equities and fixed income business (GEFI), which is expected to complete by Q1 22.
The remaining AMP Capital public markets business, the Multi-Asset Group, which is responsible for asset allocation on behalf of AMP’s Master Trust and Platform clients, will complete its transition to Australian wealth management prior to demerger, creating an end-to-end superannuation and investment platform business, with the transition of front office functions already complete.
Strategic partnerships
AMP group and business units hold a number of strategic partnerships including:
-
19.99% of China Life Pension Company (CLPC)
-
14.97% of China Life AMP Asset Management Company Limited (CLAMP), and
-
24.90% in US real estate investment manager, PCCP.
On the 3rd of November 2021 AMP Limited announced it has agreed to the divestment of its 19.13% equity interest in Resolution Life Australasia (RLA) for a consideration of A$524m to Resolution Life Group. This is expected to complete by Q2 22.
- Advice provides professional services to a network of aligned and external financial advisers (EFAs). These advisers provide financial advice and wealth solutions to their clients, including retirement planning, investments and financing. In addition to supporting a network of professional advisers, the Advice business partners with a number of aligned advice businesses via equity ownership to support the growth and development of these businesses.
As at FY 21, Australian wealth management managed AUM of A$134.0b and made A$1.9b in retirement payments during the year.

FY 21 performance summary
Key performance measures
-
FY 21 NPAT (underlying) of A$356m increased 53% from A$233m in FY 20. This increase largely reflects the impact of stronger AMP Bank earnings (+38%), AMP Capital earnings (+18%), New Zealand wealth management earnings (+11%) and stronger investment income from Group Office, including contributions from CLPC and Resolution Life Australasia, partly offset by lower Australian wealth management earnings (-25%).
-
FY 21 NPAT (statutory) loss of A$252m was impacted by items reported below NPAT including A$312m of impairment charges, reflecting a comprehensive review of the balance sheet, A$133m of transformation costs, A$78m of remediation and related costs and other one-off items.
-
AMP Bank NPAT of A$153m increased by A$42m (38%) from FY 20 largely due to a A$26m release of credit loss provisions as a result of the improved macro-economic outlook since the impact of COVID-19 in FY 20. Net interest income increased A$8m (2%) with the total loan book A$1,479m (7%) higher than FY 20.
-
AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased to A$21.7b driven by competitive pricing and offers, consistent service and targeted growth in principal and interest loans across both owner-occupied and investment lending. Interest only lending represents 14% of the total book, down from 20% at FY 20, the result of active management in response to the market environment.
-
Australian wealth management NPAT of A$48m declined 25% from FY 20 primarily due to impairments to the carrying value of Advice assets in 1H 21, lower revenue predominantly from the impact of repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, and the cessation of grandfathered remuneration, partly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from cost reduction initiatives.
-
Australian wealth management net cash outflows were A$5.2b in FY 21, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.8b in FY 20. This was largely attributable to one-off impacts on FY 20, primarily A$1.8b from the loss of corporate mandates and A$1.8b outflows as part of early release of super (ERS) payments. FY 21 net cash outflows also included A$1.9b of regular pension payments to members.
-
New Zealand wealth management NPAT of A$39m increased A$4m (FY 20 A$35m) primarily due to the rebound in investment markets and improved cost performance.
-
AMP Capital NPAT of A$154m was up 18% from A$131m in FY 20 due to higher performance and transaction fees in FY 21 and higher seed and sponsor investment returns due to a partial recovery of COVID-19 devaluations in certain asset classes and strong performance in some individual assets.
-
AMP Capital external net cash outflows were A$12.8b, with A$4.6b of net cash outflows across real estate largely attributable to the exit of the AMP Capital Diversified Property Fund (ADPF) and A$6.9b net cash outflows across public markets.
-
Investment income in FY 21 of A$102m reflects an increase of A$72m on FY 20, driven by improved returns on the group’s cash investments, growth in CLPC earnings, and the contribution from Resolution Life Australasia (which was agreed to be sold on 3 November 2021).
Revenue drivers
-
Total AUM and administration of A$248.2b[1] in FY 21 decreased by A$6.3b (-2.5%) from FY 20 as net cash outflows outweighed positive market returns.
-
AMP Bank’s total revenue increased 3% for the period. The net interest margin increased 3 bps from FY 20 to 1.62%.
-
Australian wealth management AUM increased 8% to A$134.0b in FY 21 from FY 20. However, FY 21 AUM based revenue of A$858m decreased 5% from A$907m in FY 20 due to pricing changes.
-
Platform AUM increased A$7.9b (13%) in FY 21 driven by stronger investment market returns, with continued growth in AMP’s flagship North platform offsetting outflows from legacy and external platforms. Platform AUM based revenue to AUM of 50 bps in FY 21 was down 6 bps from 56 bps in FY 20.
-
Master Trust AUM was up A$2.0b (3%) in FY 21 driven by stronger investment market returns, offsetting the impact of net cash outflows. Master Trust AUM based revenue to AUM of 85 bps in FY 21 was down 8 bps from 93 bps in FY 20, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification (6 bps) and SFT impacts (2 bps).
-
AMP Capital AUM decreased A$12.0b (6%) to A$177.8b in FY 21 from FY 20. Fee income decreased A$2m to A$709m in FY 21 primarily due to lower AUM and non-AUM fees.
Cost drivers
-
AMP’s controllable costs, excluding AMP Capital, of A$775m were 7% lower than FY 20 due to cost out benefits partly offset by structural cost increases, variable remuneration and reinvestment spend.
-
AMP group cost to income ratio was 71.3% in FY 21, down from 75.5% in FY 20.
-
Total controllable costs to average AUM decreased by 1 bp in FY 21 to 51 bps.
-
AMP Bank cost to income ratio was 39.4% and in line with FY 20.
-
Australian wealth management controllable costs decreased by A$34m (6%) from FY 20 to A$518m.
-
AMP Capital cost to income ratio decreased 2.2 percentage points from FY 20 to 70.8% in FY 21 driven by lower costs. Controllable costs decreased by A$10m to A$515m in FY 21.
Capital position
-
FY 21 total eligible capital resources were A$383m above target requirements, down from A$524m at 31 December 2020.
-
The on-market share buy-back concluded on 30 June 2021, with the deployment of A$196m of capital to repurchase and cancel 170.5m[2] shares.
-
Tier 2 hybrid instruments of A$250m were internally restructured to be utilised as eligible capital resources.
-
The board has resolved not to declare a final 2021 dividend. The board continues to maintain a conservative approach to capital management to support the transformation of the business. The capital management strategy and payment of dividends will be reviewed following the completion of the demerger in 1H 22.
-
Underlying return on equity was 8.4% in FY 21.
1 Includes SuperConcepts assets under administration, refer to page 14. 2 170,493,388 shares.

1 Wholesale funding includes A$1,034m of borrowings under AMP Bank’s Term Funding Facility provided by the Reserve Bank of Australia (FY 20 A$618m).
Net profit after tax
FY 21 NPAT of A$153m increased by A$42m (38%) from FY 20 largely due to a A$26m release of credit loss provisions predominantly as a result of the improved macro-economic outlook since the impact of COVID-19 in FY 20. Net interest income increased A$8m (2%) with the total loan book A$1,479m (7%) higher than FY 20. Excluding the impacts of COVID-19 related provisions, FY 21 NPAT was A$140m and FY 20 NPAT was A$137m.
Net interest margin (NIM) was 1.62% in FY 21, 3 bps higher than FY 20 driven by lower funding and deposit costs. The competitive lending environment continued to place pressure on revenue margins in 2021. NIM declined during 2H 21 to 1.53%. Considering the competitive market conditions and expectations, some further NIM compression is expected in 2022.
AMP Bank’s return on capital in FY 21 was 13.4%, an increase of 3.2 percentage points from FY 20, as a result of the higher profit. Excluding the impacts of COVID-19 related provisions, return on capital for FY 21 was 12.2% and 12.7% in FY 20.
Operational developments
During the year AMP Bank continued to simplify its platform architecture and modernised its core system. In addition, the Bank continued to progress its investment in Open Banking with its focus on complying with requirements relating to sharing of client data.
Whilst average formal ‘time to yes’ remained relatively stable for FY 21 vs FY 20, the average time to conditional approval improved from 6.2 days in FY 20 to 5.3 days in FY 21. The Auto Credit Decisioning rate improved by 75% to greater than 60% during FY 21 resulting in faster and more consistent approvals.
The bank increased capacity in home loan origination by 70% to approximately 85 loan applications per day and was consistently ranked in the top five by brokers due to ongoing enhancements to the application process.
During the year the Bank ceased issuing cheques and deposit books, however, continues to accept cheques issued by other financial institutions. AMP Bank also ceased offering paper applications for products with straight through processing (STP) functionality and adopted smart forms for complex entities to streamline the application process.
AMP Bank has also made strong progress on the digital origination and establishment of deposit products (STP), with more than 70% of retail deposit accounts opened digitally. The Bank continues to explore direct mortgage offerings with potential partners.
Lending
AMP Bank continues to focus on growth by enhancing its service and price propositions in FY 21. In particular, the Bank is benefiting from and continuing to invest in technology to streamline the origination process, improving the experience for both customers and brokers.
As a result, the residential loan book grew A$1,553m (7.7% annualised growth) from FY 20, achieving strong growth versus system particularly in 2H 21 (1.80x system) in a highly competitive lending environment. In 1H 22, AMP Bank will leverage the strong momentum in 2H 21, with the applications pipeline increasing by 14% between July and December 2021. AMP Bank also had an average of 73 applications per day in 2021, an increase from 49 per day in 2020.

AMP Bank cont’d
AMP Bank’s proportion of broker originated loans were 90% for 2021 (84% in 2020). Despite the increase in broker originated loans, the Bank has the ambition to grow its direct channel in order to maintain its competitive cost to income ratio.
Residential mortgage competition, particularly in the owner-occupied principal and interest market continues to intensify. Within this environment, AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased to A$21.7b driven by competitive pricing and offers and consistent service with targeted growth in principal and interest loans across both owner-occupied and investment lending. Interest only lending represents 14% of the total book, down from 20% at FY 20, the result of active risk management in the current market environment.
AMP Bank is targeting total residential lending growth above system over the long term, subject to risk appetite, competitive landscape, return on capital hurdles and funding availability.
The practice finance loan portfolio declined from A$391m at FY 20 to A$317m at FY 21 with loan repayments and discharges exceeding new loans, in line with the reshape of the advice network. This portfolio is expected to continue to decline as new business origination is minimal.
Credit quality, credit loss provisions and loan impairment expenses
The Bank’s total credit provisioning decreased by A$27m across FY 21 primarily due to majority release of the COVID-19 provision booked in FY 20, reflecting an improved economic outlook. The balance relates to the release of other non-COVID-19 provisions.
Mortgages in arrears (30+ days) decreased 0.37 percentage points to 0.78%. Mortgages in arrears (90+ days) decreased 0.12 percentage points to 0.50% and compares favourably to peers. Approximately 11% of AMP Bank’s mortgage borrowers (by value and number) have availed of the COVID-19 repayment pause, broadly in line with other retail banks. As at FY 21, less than 1% of these customers are currently on the repayment pause program. AMP Bank continues to work with customers in deferral to return to regular repayments, or individually to support them through a range of options, depending on their individual circumstance.
Costs
The Bank’s variable costs of A$68m were A$50m (42%) lower than FY 20 largely due to the release of credit loss provision in FY 21 as a result of the improved macro-economic outlook since the impact of COVID-19 in FY 20. Brokerage and commissions were A$3m (5%) higher than FY 20 reflecting strong growth in the loan book. Other variable costs increased by A$4m (14%) due to the reclass of the retention team to variable and additional FTE required to support elevated volumes.
AMP Bank’s controllable costs of A$126m were A$2m (2%) higher than FY 20. This includes additional Group Office cost allocations reflecting future allocation methodology (A$11m FY 21 and A$11m FY 20). Technology costs increased by A$7m (44%) in FY 21 reflecting investment to improve customer experience and the reclass of Group costs. This was partly offset by reductions across all other cost categories driven by effective cost management. Active cost management and discipline will continue to be a focus in 2022.
Funding, liquidity and capital management
The Bank maintains a diversified funding base and conservative liquidity profile. AMP Bank’s total debt and equity funding was A$25.9b at FY 21 (A$24.2b at FY 20).
Total deposits at FY 21 increased by A$1.7b (10%) from FY 20, in line with the Bank’s strategy to optimise its funding mix, primarily driven by an increase in at call deposits. AMP Bank’s deposit to loan ratio was 81% at FY 21, compared with 78% at FY 20.
AMP Bank maintains a diversified liquidity portfolio with adequate high-quality liquid assets. As at FY 21, AMP Bank’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 145% (149% at FY 20) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio was 146% (137% at FY 20). Both remain above internal and regulatory requirements.
The Capital Adequacy Ratio was 16.2% as at FY 21 (18.2% at FY 20). The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) for FY 21 was 10.4% (11.8% at FY 20). Both ratios remain above internal and regulatory requirements.
AMP Bank continues to focus on maintaining book quality with 69% of customers being owner-occupied, an average book loan to value ratio (LVR) of 67%, in line with FY 20, and geographical exposure skewed towards New South Wales (46%) and Victoria (21%). In addition, dynamic LVR weighted average for existing mortgage business improved by 9% to 58% in December 2021 which correlates with increased property values.
An intragroup indemnity is in place covering credit losses that relate to practice finance loans. Accordingly, AMP Bank does not report impairment charges for these loans where it falls under the indemnity and excludes related expected credit losses from its portfolio loan provisioning.

Net profit after tax
NPAT fell from A$64m in FY 20 to A$48m in FY 21 driven by impairments to the carrying value of Advice assets in 1H 21, lower revenue predominantly from the impact of repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, the impact of the cessation of grandfathered remuneration and SFT migration, partly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from cost reduction initiatives. FY 21 and FY 20 periods were impacted by a material restatement from the allocation of additional group costs (refer to page 25).
AUM based revenue
AUM based revenue of A$858m was A$49m lower than FY 20 driven by:
Controllable costs
Controllable costs of A$518m are A$34m lower than FY 20 driven primarily by:
-
A$21m lower employee costs from cost out activity offset by A$22m from reset in variable remuneration
-
A$15m in lower project spend from lower investment in Master Trust and Advice with change and reshape programs progressed in prior years, offset by increased spend in Platforms to support growth
-
A$24m lower technology, property and other operating costs from cost out activity, partly offset by;
-
A$4m higher professional fees primarily due to resources supporting Advice reshape activity.
-
pricing changes as part of Master Trust simplification (A$30m)
-
pricing changes on the North Platforms (A$20m)
-
cessation of grandfathered remuneration (A$20m)
-
SFT migration (A$11m), partly offset by;
-
growth in average AUM and mix changes (A$32m).
Investment income
Investment income of A$15m in FY 21 was A$17m higher than FY 20 driven by favourable market conditions impacting the North Guarantee.
Advice revenue
-
Advice revenue of A$58m was A$57m lower than FY 20 driven by: – impairments to the carrying value of practice investments (A$18m)
-
lower aligned (A$11m) and employed (A$3m) revenue contributions from the cessation of grandfathered remuneration
-
decline in client numbers in the employed business (A$11m)
-
lower investment income and other revenue (A$8m)
-
reshape of the aligned network (A$6m).
Other revenue
Other revenue of A$35m was A$5m lower than FY 20. This primarily consisted of SuperConcepts revenue of A$32m, down A$3m from FY 20 driven by fund attrition and A$2m lower investment income on superannuation capital reserves.
Variable costs
- Investment management expenses were A$2m lower than FY 20 driven by continued mix changes from Master Trust to Platforms.
Assets under management
Australian wealth management AUM of A$134.0b at FY 21 was A$9.9b higher than FY 20 (8%), driven by A$15.1b from strong investment market returns offset by A$5.2b of net cash outflows.
Cashflow overview
Australian wealth management net cash outflows were A$5.2b in FY 21, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.8b in FY 20. The improvement in net cash outflows was largely attributable to one-off impacts on FY 20, primarily A$1.8b from the loss of corporate mandates and A$1.8b outflows as part of early release of super (ERS) payments.
AUM based revenue to AUM
AUM based revenue to AUM of 66 bps was down 7 bps from FY 20, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification in Master Trust (2 bps), the cessation of grandfathered remuneration (2 bps), administration pricing changes in Platforms (2 bps) and SFT related impacts (1 bp).
- Other variable costs fell A$37m to A$101m driven by the phasing out of advice support payments to aligned practices, savings from operating model changes and lower employed planner expenses.

Operational developments by division
Platforms
Platforms NPAT of A$110m was A$7m higher than FY 20 due to higher investment income relating to North Guarantee offsetting the impact of repricing and higher controllable costs from business growth and higher strategic spend.
Platform AUM was up A$7.9b (13%) in FY 21 driven by stronger investment market returns, with continued growth in AMP’s flagship North platform offsetting outflows from legacy and external platforms.
Notable improvements for clients on the North platform included:
-
Launched 28 managed portfolios including 23 new equity managed portfolios added from 10 leading investment managers. This has supported strong AUM growth in managed portfolios to A$4.3b in FY 21, more than doubling in the last 12 months.
-
Introduced new platform pricing to counter strong competition, including competitor offers of preferential rate cards to financial advisers.
-
Added over 140 investments to MyNorth’s investment menu in 2021.
-
Continued to invest in simplifying the advice process for aligned and external advisers.
Platform margins were impacted by a number of drivers:
-
AUM based revenue to AUM bps for platforms was 50 bps in FY 21 down 6 bps from 56 bps in FY 20, driven by repricing in MyNorth, North and Summit (3 bps), product mix changes from continued preference for lower margin MyNorth products (2 bps) and cessation of grandfathered remuneration (1 bp).
-
AUM based revenue to AUM bps for North was 47 bps in FY 21 down 5 bps from FY 20 due to pricing and product mix changes in MyNorth and North and cessation of grandfathered remuneration.
Master Trust
Master Trust NPAT of A$90m was A$23m lower than FY 20 due to pricing changes as part of simplification partly offset by lower costs driven by cost out activity.
The superannuation business is on a transformational pathway to simplify super and improve efficiency and member outcomes. Notable achievements in the period were:
-
Strong investment performance for members in the 12 months to June 2021, with AMP’s MySuper Lifestyle funds returning an average performance of over 20%[1] .
-
Expansion of AMP’s intrafund advice offer to members including the launch of a retirement health check.
-
Maintained the highest external product ratings, including a platinum rating from SuperRatings, the highest quality fiveapple rating from Chant West for the Corporate Super offer, and a five quality-star rating from The Heron Partnership.
-
Investment in AMP’s digital capability recognised with a top three nomination by Chant West for Member Services Fund of the Year.
-
Launched a new podcast series – Simplifying Super – designed to help Australians build their knowledge of the superannuation system and take greater control of their retirement.
Master Trust AUM was up A$2b (3%) in FY 21 driven by stronger investment market returns, offsetting the impact of net cash outflows.
AUM based revenue to AUM bps for Master Trust of 85 bps in FY 21 was down 8 bps from 93 bps in FY 20, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification (6 bps) and SFT impacts (2 bps).
The simplification of the Master Trust portfolio completed in Q3 21, with product migrations into a contemporary offer driving a step change reduction in administration fees, expected to reduce AUM based revenue to approximately 65 bps in FY 22. Future simplification will focus on investment structures and menus and is expected to lead to further reductions over time in AUM based revenue and investment management expenses. This will continue AMP’s journey to build a best-of-breed super business to materially, and sustainably, enhance financial outcomes for members now and in the future.
Advice
Advice NPAT loss of A$146m was A$3m higher than FY 20 due to:
-
decline in revenue from the cessation of grandfathered remuneration, reshape of Advice network and decline in client numbers,
-
impairments to the carrying value of practice investments, partly offset by;
-
lower controllable costs driven by cost out activity, and
-
lower variable costs due to phasing out of advice support payments to aligned practices, divestment of majority owned aligned practices and cost out activity.
The transformation of Advice continued to progress well in FY 21 with a number of notable developments throughout the year including:
-
Reshape of Aligned adviser network to focus on providing professional services to high quality and sustainable advice practices.
-
Significant progress made on Advice remediation with all reviews and the majority of client payments complete.
-
New commercial terms announced in July 2021 including uplifted service model and progressive increase in fees over the next 12 months, the release of institutional ownership from AMP Financial Planning and the elimination of buy back (including BOLR) arrangements from 1 January 2022.
-
Entering into new partnership with CreativeMass to drive efficiencies through technology.
-
Implementation of a new monitoring and supervision process, demonstrating strong compliance with Best Interests Duty legislative requirements.
-
Significant progress on restructuring the equity investment portfolio to limit equity holdings in advice businesses to a maximum of 49%.
-
Sale of the employed advice business completed in December 2021.
SuperConcepts
-
SuperConcepts have transformed customer service, reduced complexity and improved efficiency to support the growth in sales which has improved over the prior year.
-
Improved delivery of FY 20 lodgement program and allowed an early start to FY 21 leading to improved momentum over FY 20.
-
Upgraded existing SMSF software platform (SuperMate) to be launched February 2022 to grow market share and lift revenue.

Australian wealth management cont’d
Cashflow overview
Australian wealth management net cash outflows were A$5.2b in FY 21, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.8b in FY 20.
The improvement in net cash outflows was largely attributable to one-off impacts on 1H 20, namely A$1.8b from loss of corporate mandates and A$1.8b outflows as part of ERS payments.
Pension payments to members of A$1.9b in FY 21 were down A$0.2b from FY 20 driven by legislated changes in minimum drawdown amounts.
Internal inflows across wealth management products were A$13.9b in FY 21 (A$15.7b in FY 20), representing 56% (62% in FY 20) of total wealth management cash inflows. The decrease was driven by the transfer of A$2.0b to CustomSuper and AMP Flexible Super in respect of the employer and personal divisions of Business Super, closed as part of the AMP Life sale in 1H 20.
Platforms
Platforms experienced net cashflows of A$83m in FY 21, down from A$644m of net cashflows in FY 20.
North net cashflows of A$3.3b were down A$0.4b (10%) on FY 20. Externally sourced inflows increased A$1.4b (27%) whilst external outflows increased A$1.3b (26%), reflecting a more competitive environment. Pension payments of A$1.5b were in line with FY 20 with changes in minimum drawdown limits offset by FUM growth.
Net inflows to Platforms from Master Trust were A$2.1b (FY 20 A$2.2b).
AMP Personalised Portfolio saw outflows of A$750m in FY 21 as clients exited following notice of the intended closure of the product, planned for Q1 22.
AUM overview
Australian wealth management AUM of A$134.0b at FY 21 was A$9.9b higher than FY 20 (8%), driven by A$15.1b from strong investment market returns partly offset by A$5.2b of net cash outflows.
Of the total Australian wealth management AUM of A$134.0b at FY 21, 83% (77% at FY 20) is ultimately externally managed, while 17% (23% at FY 20) is internally managed.
Platforms
Total Platform AUM of A$71.1b at FY 21 was A$7.9b higher than FY 20 driven by stronger investment market returns, with continued growth in AMP’s flagship North platform offsetting outflows from legacy and external platforms as well as A$1.5b in regular pension payments.
Within Platforms, North growth continued, with AUM increasing A$9.8b to A$61.4b, driven by stronger investment market returns and net cash inflows of A$3.3b, including A$1.3b of inflows from external financial advisers (A$1.1b at FY 20).
Master Trust
Total Master Trust AUM of A$62.9b at FY 21 was A$2.0b higher than FY 20 reflecting stronger investment market returns offset by net cash outflows of A$5.2b including A$0.4b of regular pension payments and A$2.1b net transfers to Platform. Ongoing retention activities in corporate super have resulted in a significant reduction in mandate losses in FY 21.
SuperConcepts
SuperConcepts is Australia’s largest combined provider of SMSF software and administration services including wholesale, intermediated, direct, portfolios and small APRA funds.
Master Trust
Retail superannuation net cash outflows of A$3.9b in FY 21 were A$0.3b lower than FY 20. FY 20 benefited from a one-off transfer of A$0.9b in respect of personal division members to AMP Flexible Super from the closure of Business Super, partly offset by A$0.8b of ERS payments. Pension payments of A$0.4b were A$0.1b lower than FY 20.
Total assets under administration in FY 21 were A$17.4b.
Across administration and software services, SuperConcepts supports 41,754 funds representing 7% of the SMSF market.[1] AMP currently provides professional administration services to around 14,000 funds and software as a service to a further 27,754 funds.
Corporate superannuation net cash outflows of A$1.3b in FY 21 were down from A$4.3b in FY 20. FY 20 was impacted by A$1.8b from the loss of corporate mandates, the transfer of A$0.9b to AMP Flexible Super on closure of Business Super and A$0.7b outflows as part of ERS.
SignatureSuper and AMP Flexible Super – Employer showed improved net cash outflows of A$0.6b, compared with net cash outflows of A$2.2b in FY 20, with one lost corporate super mandate in FY 21 of A$0.1b. FY 20 was impacted by A$1.8b of mandate losses and A$0.3b of outflows as part of ERS.
Other corporate superannuation experienced net cash outflows of A$0.8b in FY 21, improving from A$2.1b in FY 20. FY 20 was impacted by the transfer of A$0.9b to AMP Flexible Super on closure of Business Super and A$0.2b outflows as part of ERS.

Net profit after tax
FY 21 NPAT increased A$4m (11%) on FY 20 due to wealth management increasing A$5m (25%) on FY 20 primarily due to the rebound in investment markets and improved cost performance, partly offset by a decrease in advice revenue A$1m (7%) driven by lower general insurance revenue in FY 21.
Revenue
AUM based revenue increased by A$1m (1%) on FY 20 primarily due to the rebound in investment markets following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 1H 20, partly offset by margin compression associated with product repricing following the transition to NZWM’s new index-based investment philosophy.
Other revenue decreased A$2m (6%) on FY 20 mainly driven by lower general insurance revenue in FY 21 due to the lockdown restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic in 1H 20 resulting in lower insurance claims.
Variable costs
Total variable costs of A$59m decreased by A$5m (8%) on FY 20 due to the reduction in investment management fees in 2H 21 following a change in investment strategy.
Controllable costs
FY 21 controllable costs of A$36m were down A$2m (5%) on FY 20 primarily due to lower employment and IT costs as the business continues to simplify and transform its operating model and lower property costs following a reduction in office footprint.
FY 21 cost to income ratio of 39.6% decreased 4.1 percentage points on FY 20.
Cashflows and AUM
FY 21 AUM of A$12.2b decreased A$0.2b (2%) from FY 20. This decrease was predominantly driven by the conclusion of NZWM’s term as a KiwiSaver default provider, contributing a net cash outflow of A$0.6b in FY 21, cash outflows in other products of A$0.4b, partly offset by investment market gains of A$0.7b and positive foreign exchange movements (A$0.1b).
Net cash outflows of A$1.0b in FY 21 have worsened from net cash outflows of A$57m in FY 20.
Despite the loss of the KiwiSaver default status, AMP remains a substantial participant in the overall KiwiSaver market with A$5.8b in AUM, reflecting growth of 14% on FY 20 in the non-default KiwiSaver product.
NZWM has completed its transition to a new index based investment philosophy with a focus on sustainable investing. This new approach has enabled NZWM to reduce the carbon footprint of its funds while also reducing fees for clients by up to 40%.

Operational highlights
-
Operational highlights during FY 21 include:
-
Strong progress on the operational separation of Private Markets, in preparation for demerger in 1H 22. A clear perimeter has been set with the agreed sale of the Global Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business and transfer of the Multi-Asset Group (MAG) to AMP Limited.
-
On 24th December, AMP announced the divestment of its infrastructure debt platform for a total transaction value of A$578m, including cash consideration of A$428m.
-
Progress on key real estate developments, including completion of approximately A$1b in retail developments on behalf of UniSuper at Marrickville Metro in Sydney and Karrinyup Shopping Centre in Perth.
-
Secured record A$2.2b investment in AMP Capital Retail Trust (ACRT) from large institutional partners.
-
Continued momentum in AMP Capital’s infrastructure debt and infrastructure equity series of funds with A$1.7b of capital deployed in FY 21.
-
Divestment of stake in ESVAGT and Angel Trains (50% and 51% respectively) delivering strong returns for infrastructure equity clients.
-
Continued commitment to real asset capabilities with A$5.4b[1] of uncalled committed capital at the end of FY 21.
Net profit after tax
AMP Capital’s FY 21 NPAT was A$154m, up 18% from A$131m in FY 20. AUM based earnings fell 3% to A$545m compared to A$564m in FY 20, driven by net cash outflows in the period and stabilisation actions leading to margin compression, partly offset by favourable markets. Performance and transaction fees were up A$23m (45%) compared to FY 20 due to A$58m of performance fee revenue in FY 21, predominantly from closed end infrastructure funds. Seed and sponsor investment returns increased A$12m on FY 20 due to FY 20 COVID-19 devaluations not repeated in FY 21 and strong performance in FY 21 in real estate and infrastructure equity funds.
Revenue
AMP Capital average AUM decreased by A$10.0b (5%) to A$183.8b during FY 21. This was primarily due to net cash outflows of A$27.6b in the period, including the transition of A$9.2b from New Zealand wealth management and the A$4.2b transition of ADPF to external managers. Offsetting cash outflows were positive market conditions in the period of A$15.6b. AUM based management fees reduced in line with this but proved relatively resilient delivering A$545m of revenue compared to A$564m in FY 20.
Non-AUM based management fees mainly comprise of infrastructure equity commitment fees and real estate management, development and leasing fees. Non-AUM based management fees were A$90m in FY 21, down A$6m due to lower GIF II commitment fees in FY 21 as well as adverse FX impacts.
Performance and transaction fees were A$74m in FY 21, up A$23m from FY 20. Performance fees were higher in FY 21 following
the recognition of A$58m of performance fee revenue from the successful achievement of performance hurdles on infrastructure closed-ended funds. Fees also include infrastructure performance fees on open-ended funds which continue to reduce as prior period performance fees run off.
FY 21 seed and sponsor capital investments were A$449m. These include investments across open and closed end real asset funds and early stage funding to support new products. Seed and sponsor investment returns increased A$12m on FY 20 due to a partial recovery of COVID-19 devaluations in certain asset classes and strong performance in some individual assets.
Given market volatility, income from seed and sponsor capital will continue to vary from period to period.
Controllable costs
Controllable costs of A$515m in FY 21 decreased 2% from FY 20. This is largely due to a reduction in employee related and discretionary spend, partly offset by higher consultancy and business stabilisation costs.
AMP Capital’s cost to income ratio decreased from 73.0% in FY 20 to 70.8% in FY 21, driven by lower costs reflecting management response to COVID-19 and higher earnings, driven by increased performance and transaction fees.
Other profit impacts
AMP Capital’s effective tax rate in FY 21 was 24%, up from 20% in FY 20 and can vary period on period. The effective tax rate remains lower than the Australian corporate tax rate (30%), largely due to lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, available tax concessions and joint venture earnings which are recognised net of tax.
Investment performance
AMP Capital aims to be a trusted partner of its clients delivering consistent investment performance. This has proved more challenging in FY 21 due to market volatility.
As at 31 December, 68% of AUM (66%, FY 20) outperformed market benchmarks over a three-year time period.
In a year characterised by a strong market recovery that began in March 2020 and continued throughout 2021, the multi-asset funds have performed strongly. The better performing funds over the period were generally those that had higher allocations to listed shares, in particular international shares and private equity. The traditional defensive sectors such as bonds and cash were the weakest performers. Relative to neutral asset allocation, the flagship funds performed well, returns being boosted from investment activity across all corners of the portfolio. Alpha sources included stock selection from Australian Equities, International Equities, Emerging Markets, Global Real Estate Investment Trusts, Diversified Credit Strategies, Hedge Funds, Private Equity, and Dynamic asset allocation (for funds where this strategy is employed).
The table on page 32 shows investment performance across all asset classes over various timeframes to 31 December 2021.

Operational developments by division
Infrastructure equity
The division has continued to successfully deploy capital on behalf of investors in GIF II during 2H 21 through the creation of a new company, Telecom Infrastructure Partners (TIP). TIP will acquire, own, and manage long-term lease contracts in underlying mobile telecom sites, further expanding the portfolio’s focus in Europe and Latin America.
Strong client returns were delivered in the period following the successful divestment of two assets in the Rail and Energy & Utilities industries. These transactions mark the fourth and fifth successful asset exits from the global infrastructure equity strategy.
Infrastructure debt
A$1.1b was deployed in FY 21 across the IDF series and other separately managed accounts. Capital was deployed across a number of infrastructure sectors including energy, transport and mobile tower infrastructure.
A total of A$1.5b of invested capital was returned to investors as a result of debt repayments in FY 21, recorded as cash outflows, although delivering a positive outcome for investors.
On 24 December, AMP announced the divestment of its infrastructure debt platform for a total transaction value of A$578m and cash consideration of A$428m, with AMP retaining the rights to certain sponsor investments and carried interest valued at A$150m. The transaction is on track for completion in Q1 22.
Real estate
FY 21 continued to be disrupted by COVID-19 with the Delta and Omicron variants impacting the operations of the retail and office sector. Despite the disruptions, valuations stabilised across the portfolio with tenant lease occupancy remaining high at over 94%.
In FY 21, real estate completed approximately A$1b in retail developments at Marrickville Metro in Sydney and Karrinyup Shopping Centre in Perth. Brookfield Place, above Sydney’s Wynyard station, also reached practical completion with AMP Capital now managing aggregate ownership interests of 74.9% on behalf of the AMP Capital Wholesale Office fund and two separate account clients. The Quay Quarter Sydney precinct continues to make great progress with 104 residential apartments (94%) reaching settlement, Quay Quarter Lanes reaching practical completion and the remaining precinct to be completed throughout 2022.
of the underlying assets, both of which have been successfully managed and developed by AMP Capital for more than 30 years. Subsequently, ACRT increased its ownership of Pacific Fair to 100% and ASCF increased its ownership of Macquarie Centre to 50% by acquiring 20% and 25% of those assets respectively from the Dexus Wholesale Property Fund which settled on the 31st of January 2022.
After a comprehensive process, the Trustee of the AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund (AWOF) decided it was in the best interests of AWOF investors as a whole that AMP Capital continue as manager of the fund. This decision is consistent with the recommendation of the Independent Advisory Committee.
Further, the management agreement with Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited, a listed NZ REIT, was sold in March 2021, involving a payment by Precinct to AMP Capital of NZ$215m and external transfer of A$1.5b AUM. This transaction enabled AMP to recognise a one-off profit of ~A$83m in items reported outside of AMP Capital earnings.
Public markets
GEFI
The sale of the GEFI business was announced in July 2021 for an upfront cash consideration of up to A$110m at completion and a cash earn-out of up to A$75m payable after the second anniversary of completion. The aggregate consideration was subject to meeting certain conditions, including revenue targets, with the upfront cash component now expected to be approximately A$80m. The sale remains on track for completion at the end of Q1 22.
MAG
Significant progress was made in the period across multiple strategic initiatives. In December 2021, the MAG front office successfully transitioned to AMP Wealth as it transitions to an end-to-end superannuation and investment platform business with the back office expected to transition by 1H 22, ahead of the Private Markets demerger.
CLAMP
In FY 21, the CLAMP joint venture experienced further growth with the launch of 48 new products, including SMAs, diversified, equity and bond funds. There continues to be strong institutional demand for Fixed Income products, with allocation to equity products also experiencing growth in the fourth quarter.
There was high transaction activity throughout FY 21, delivering strong divestment results for investors across the portfolio. AMP Capital welcomed Cbus Property, one of Australia’s leading property investors and developers, and UniSuper, one of Australia’s leading superannuation funds, as new partners in the AMP Capital Retail Trust (ACRT). Through ACRT, UniSuper and Cbus Property, along with AMP Capital, now have majority ownership of Pacific Fair shopping centre in Queensland, which was recently recognised as the Queensland Retail Property of the Year, and 50% ownership of Macquarie Centre in New South Wales. The record A$2.2b investment reflects the quality and significant future potential

AMP Investor Report FY 21 AMP business unit results 23
AMP Capital cont’d
Assets under management (AUM)
AUM decreased by A$12.0b to A$177.8b in FY 21. Net cash outflows of A$27.6b included the transition of A$9.2b from New Zealand wealth management and the A$4.2b transition of ADPF. Offsetting cash outflows were positive market conditions in the period of A$15.6b.
As at 31 December, AMP Capital’s infrastructure teams have A$5.4b[1] of uncalled committed capital.
External AUM and cashflows
External AUM decreased during FY 21 to A$94.8b, with the decrease largely attributable to the A$4.2b transition of ADPF to Dexus. External net cash outflows were A$12.8b, including this one-off event.
International
AMP Capital’s number of direct international institutional clients decreased by 13 to 386 in FY 21, managing A$20.8b on their behalf (A$22.0b at FY 20). The drop in client numbers is largely attributable to the sale of the Global Companies fund in FY 21. Approximately one third of external AUM is now managed on behalf of clients outside Australia and New Zealand.
China
At FY 21, the CLAMP joint venture managed A$73.7b (RMB 340b) of total AUM on behalf of Chinese retail and institutional investors. This was up 24% from A$59.4b at FY 20.
In FY 21, AMP Capital’s share of CLAMP net cashflows were A$1.0b, down from A$1.6b in FY 20. CLAMP attracted inflows into its fixed income and equity funds.
AMP Capital reports its 14.97% share of the joint venture’s AUM (A$11.0b) and cashflows within the ‘External’ AUM and cashflow disclosure.
Japan
AMP Capital Japan (AMPCI KK) is focused on distribution to Japanese pension funds as part of its business alliance with MUFG: Trust Bank, established in Q3 2020. AMPCI KK has now obtained its Discretionary Investment Management License (DIM) allowing it to directly access the pensions channel while also working with other distributors, including trust banks and asset management companies on a product-by-product basis.
At FY 21, AMPCI KK had A$670m of net cash outflows mainly from Australian Bond Funds driven by low interest conditions globally. Fundraising continues to be challenging due to COVID-19 and uncertainty around the Private Markets demerger.
Internal AUM and cashflows
Internal AUM decreased to A$83.0b in FY 21 from A$86.7b at FY 20 primarily relating to the transition of A$9.2b from New Zealand wealth management partly offset by positive market conditions.
Internal net cash outflows include AMP group payments such as dividend payments and net cashflows from Australian wealth management.
AMP Capital manages 60% of Australian wealth management AUM – of this, 22% is managed internally by AMP Capital’s in-house investment capabilities, 78% is outsourced to external fund managers.

Group Office costs not recovered from business units
FY 21 Group Office costs not recovered from business units were A$95m pre-tax, down A$25m from A$120m in FY 20 primarily from cost out benefits, partly offset by the reset of variable remuneration.
Group Office costs include enterprise costs, professional indemnity insurance, board and listing requirement costs.
Prior period costs have been restated to reflect improved group cost allocation of additional corporate costs to business units allowing for increased business focus and enhanced decision making.

Investment income
Investment income was A$79m post-tax at FY 21, up from A$35m at FY 20. Investment income comprises income on Group Office investible capital, including hedging activities and equity investments in both CLPC and Resolution Life Australasia (sale announced on 3 November 2021).
Investment income on Group Office investible capital was A$19m in FY 21, up from -A$6m in FY 20 predominantly driven by higher cash on hand from 2H 20 (linked to the receipt of proceeds from sale of AMP Life) and derivative impacts.
In 2021, actual investment income is reported and prior periods have been restated to remove the concept of market adjustment. Historically underlying investment income assumed post-tax returns of 2.5% on Group Office investible capital with any difference reported as market adjustment in items reported below NPAT.
Other investment income was A$60m in FY 21, up from A$41m in FY 20, driven by higher CLPC earnings. As noted in 1H 21, AMP has recognised a cash dividend from CLPC of ~A$7.2m for the first time in the period, as the Chinese pension market continues to experience significant growth and the joint venture increases in scale. AMP announced the sale of its investment in Resolution Life Australasia on 3 November 2021 with no further earnings expected in FY 22.
Each of AMP’s investments in CLPC (19.99%) and Resolution Life Australasia (19.13%) are equity accounted and reported through Other investment income.
Client remediation and related costs
FY 21 client remediation and related costs of A$78m post-tax relate primarily to A$45m of remediation cost pertaining to the Enforceable Undertaking (E.U.) as agreed with APRA and announced on 16 November 2021, final cost of the client remediation program, residual costs for addressing legacy advice matters and legal costs relating to class actions.
Transformation cost out
Transformation costs of A$133m post-tax in FY 21 largely relate to realising cost improvements and program costs.
AMP spent A$314m pre-tax in FY 21, including:
-
A$42m on investing for growth,
-
A$190m on realising cost improvement (A$133m post-tax, as above), and
-
A$82m on de-risking the business.
Since FY 19, AMP has spent A$786m pre-tax, including:
-
A$188m on investing for growth;
-
A$303m on realising cost improvement; and
-
A$295m on de-risking the business.
Impairments
FY 21 impairment charges of A$312m post-tax are mainly non-cash and reflect a comprehensive review of the balance sheet which included the partial impairment of deferred tax assets (A$109m), a write-down of intangibles (A$97m), onerous lease contracts arising from lower future accommodation requirements (A$85m) and other impairments and adjustments (A$21m), including a review of advice assets. The impairments bring forward a range of expenses as required by accounting standards as announced on 26 November 2021.
Other items
Other items largely comprise a gain on sale from the divestment of New Zealand Precinct Properties management rights (A$83m), a one-off expense in relation to post completion adjustments from the sale of AMP Life (A$65m) and the portfolio review costs.
Amortisation of acquired intangible assets
FY 21 amortisation of acquired intangible assets was A$21m.
Included in this line item are amortisation of AXA intangible assets (primarily comprising rights to future income), amortisation of the advice register purchases, PCCP and SuperConcepts business acquisitions.
Amortisation of acquired intangibles for FY 22 is expected to be ~A$5m, a reduction of A$16m reflecting the impact of the write-down of intangibles.
Interest expense on corporate debt
FY 21 interest expense on corporate debt was A$51m, down from A$58m in FY 20 primarily due to lower interest rates and lower corporate debt.
The average volume of corporate debt decreased through FY 21 to A$1,993m (A$2,132m in FY 20).
The weighted average cost of debt in FY 21 was 3.60%, down from 3.83% in FY 20. This was mainly due to continued falls in benchmark interest rates used to set the underlying price of corporate debt.
For further information on corporate debt, refer to page 28.

Regulatory capital requirements and capital management framework
Regulatory requirements
A number of the operating entities within the AMP group of companies are regulated. These include an authorised deposit taking institution (ADI), superannuation entities and a number of companies that hold Australian Financial Services Licences (AFSLs). These companies are regulated by APRA, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the Financial Markets Authority New Zealand and/or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and are required to hold minimum levels of regulatory capital, as set by the relevant regulator.
The main minimum regulatory capital requirements for AMP’s regulated businesses are determined as follows:
-
AMP Bank: capital requirements as specified under the APRA ADI Prudential Standards
-
Australian wealth management: operational risk requirements related to AMP’s two superannuation trustees (one active), AFS Licence requirements on administration entities, and
-
AMP Capital: primarily relates to AFS Licence requirements in two core administration entities.
Target capital requirements
Target capital requirements are determined at the business unit level and are calculated such that sufficient capital is reserved to ensure minimum regulatory requirements are upheld under severe stress scenarios.
In FY 21, the Board re-calibrated the sizing and allocation of target capital requirements as informed by the results of the annual Group-wide stress testing process.
The results of the Group-wide stress testing process are considered together with AMP’s appetite for material risks (including financial, product and operational risk), when setting a target surplus above MRR which seeks to reduce the risk of breaching MRR.
Capital management framework
AMP holds capital to protect clients, creditors and shareholders against unexpected losses. There are a number of ways AMP assesses the adequacy of its capital position. Primarily, AMP aims to:
Capital position
At 31 December 2021, total eligible capital above target requirements was A$383m (A$524m at 31 December 2020).
Movement in AMP group surplus capital FY 20 to FY 21
The movement in the level of AMP group surplus capital throughout FY 21 includes the following items:
-
Capital generated from underlying business operation (A$356m).
-
Capital deployed to fund items reported below NPAT (underlying). This includes demerger costs (A$75m), asset impairment costs (A$312m), client remediation and related costs (A$78m), transformation cost out spend (A$133m), amortisation of acquired intangibles (A$21m) and other items of A$11m.
-
Capital deployed throughout the on-market share buy-back (A$196m).
-
Restructure of A$250m of outstanding Tier 2 hybrid instruments to be classified as eligible capital resources.
-
Capital deployed to support growth in AMP’s business units. This includes capital deployed in AMP Bank to support loan growth, capital used to support regulatory requirements in AMP’s Australian Wealth Management business and increases in regulatory adjustments relating to growth in assets which are not suitable to support the Group’s eligible capital base.
-
Capital impacts stemming from markets. This includes the impact of foreign exchange rates on the value of assets held on balance sheet and other impacts relating to changes in interest rates.
Net tangible assets
FY 21 shareholders equity of A$3,874m comprises net tangible assets (NTA) of A$3,530m, or A$1.08 per share.
Statutory shareholders equity of A$3,980m is adjusted for accounting mismatches and other adjustments of A$106m, and goodwill and other intangibles of A$344m to arrive at the net tangible assets of A$3,530m.
-
maintain a sufficient surplus above minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) to reduce the risk of breaching MRR, and
-
maintain the AMP group’s credit rating.
Level 3 eligible capital above MRR and target capital requirements for regulated entities and the AMP group may vary throughout the year due to a range of factors including profits, dividend payments, capital for business growth and other one-off items, including market movements.

1 AMP Notes 3 have been internally restructured to be recognised as Level 3 eligible capital of AMP group for APRA purposes.
2 AMP Capital Notes were retired upon maturity in FY 21. A$225m of AMP Capital Notes 2 is used to fund Additional Tier 1 Capital within AMP Bank.
3 AMP Subordinated Notes are issued by AMP Limited and on-lent to AMP Bank, where they are recognised as allowable Tier 2 capital. The debt and interest expense on these notes is included in AMP Bank’s balance sheet and operating results and not in AMP corporate debt and interest expense.
4 Commercial paper, NCDs and repos for AMP Bank includes A$1,034m of borrowings under AMP Bank’s Term Funding Facility provided by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
5 Based on the earlier of the maturity date and the first call date.
Corporate debt
Corporate debt volumes decreased A$699m in FY 21 to A$1,431m. This reflects the retirement of A$268m of AMP Capital Notes, A$426m of US dollar denominated Medium Term Notes and the A$5m partial repayment of GBP denominated Subordinated Bonds. At 31 December 2021, all corporate debt was effectively at floating rates.
All foreign currency denominated corporate debt is hedged back to AUD at the time of issuance for the life of the security. Foreign currency denominated debt is reported above in AUD based on hedged face value.
At 31 December 2021 total group liquidity (excluding AMP Bank) was A$2.1b, comprising A$0.7b held in Group cash and A$1.4b of additional liquid assets held across business units. Total group liquidity and available facilities at FY 21 were A$2.6b, including undrawn facilities of A$450m.
AMP Bank
AMP Bank utilises a diverse range of funding sources (customer deposits, securitisation, short and long-term wholesale borrowings), with its primary source of funding being A$17.8b of customer deposits.
AMP Bank actively hedges its funding against movements in short-term interest rates. However, the Bank remains exposed to negative interest rates and increases in credit spreads to the extent it needs to replace funding.
The securitisation of mortgages via the issuance of residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) is a source of funding and capital relief for AMP Bank. As at 31 December 2021, total RMBS funds were A$4.5b. AMP Bank has in place a A$1b warehouse facility with MUFG Bank, Ltd and a A$500m committed warehouse facility with Commonwealth Bank of Australia, established in FY 21.

-
2 AMP Bank has no direct property exposure.
All profit sensitivities above show a full year impact.
The profit and capital sensitivities are only indicative, because:
-
they assume that the particular variable moves independently of all others
-
they are based on the FY 21 position, ie not ‘forward looking’, and make no allowances for events subsequent to 31 December 2021, and
-
in general, for profit sensitivities, they assume the movement occurs evenly over the year; for capital sensitivities, they assume the movement occurs at 31 December 2021.
Other assumptions include:
-
parent company shareholders’ equity is fully invested, and there are no adjustments for investments which are outside index weightings
-
currency movements in investments in self-sustaining operations do not impact profit
-
property sensitivities relate to unlisted property; listed property trusts are included in equities
-
bond yield sensitivities relate to both government and corporate bond yields for both Australian and international bonds
-
profit sensitivities exclude the impact of movements in credit spreads in corporate and semi-government debt
-
AMP Bank net interest margin is assumed to be insensitive to changes in cash rate, and
-
AMP Bank’s increase in sales volume assumes a 5% change in total loans growth with no change in net interest margin and costs.
Profit sensitivities
The sensitivities set out above apply to FY 21 NPAT assuming changes in a range of hypothetical economic or business variables.
Important considerations when using these sensitivities NPAT – investment linked business
For investment linked business, fee income is largely based on the level of AUM, which in turn is directly impacted by investment markets.
For changes in market variables which impact AUM levels, it is assumed that the change in the variable occurs evenly across the entire year. That is, the analysis is point to point, assuming the movement from one point (eg beginning of the year equity markets) to another point (eg end of the year equity markets) occurs evenly over the year. It is similar to assuming a one-off movement in the variable halfway through the year. For large movements that do not occur halfway through the year, the profit sensitivities need to be extrapolated. For example, a 10% increase/ decrease in equity markets at the start of the year would have double the impact on FY 21 NPAT than set out in the table above.
The sensitivities are based on the FY 21 position and are not forward looking. If using the sensitivities as forward looking (eg applying FY 21 profit sensitivities for FY 22 or FY 23), an allowance for changes in AUM levels and mix should be made. Refer to page 9 (Australian wealth management) and page 18 (AMP Capital) for average AUM levels that were applied in FY 21.

1 These sensitivities are based on a point in time and do not make any allowance for subsequent management actions.
The sensitivities shown above reflect the impact of market movements on AMP’s capital position.
The analysis is a point in time view of the capital impact of movements in equity markets and bond yields on AMP’s capital position, inclusive of any long-term and tactical protection which have been implemented.
AMP group sensitivities include the effect on capital of movements in operational risk requirements in the Superannuation funds, the defined benefit funds and North Guarantee products.
AMP’s capital management policies include market related trigger points at which management will take action to reduce the impact of market movements on AMP’s capital position. Market movements and trends are carefully monitored and adjustments made accordingly.
The sensitivities contained in the table above do not make any allowance for management actions subsequent to 31 December 2021, which may have a significant impact on these sensitivities.

Accounting treatment, definitions and exchange rates
Additional Tier 1 capital – Includes components of capital that are higher quality than Tier 2 capital, but do not meet the requirements for Common Equity Tier 1 capital.
AUM based revenue – Includes revenue derived from AUM or AUM-linked sources (eg account and administration fees). For the Australian and New Zealand wealth management businesses this includes administration and investment revenue on superannuation, retirement and investment products. AMP Capital AUM based revenue primarily includes management fees earned on invested capital in infrastructure, real estate and public markets assets.
Benefit fund – A scheme that provides a retirement benefit, usually based on salary and/or a predetermined formula for calculating that benefit. Unlike an accumulation scheme, the retirement benefit and method of calculation is known to the member at all times.
Capital Adequacy Ratio (AMP Bank) – Total regulatory capital divided by total risk weighted assets calculated using the standardised approach. Total regulatory capital is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.
Common Equity Tier 1 capital – Comprises the highest quality components of capital that fully satisfy all of the following essential characteristics:
-
a) provide a permanent and unrestricted commitment of funds
-
b) are freely available to absorb losses
-
c) do not impose any unavoidable servicing charge against earnings, and
-
d) rank behind the claims of depositors, policyholders and other creditors in the event of winding up.
Controllable costs – Include operational and project costs and exclude variable costs, provision for bad and doubtful debts and interest on corporate debt.
Controllable costs to average AUM – Calculated as controllable costs divided by the average of monthly average AUM.
Corporate debt – Borrowings used to fund shareholder activities of the AMP group including the impact of any cross-currency swaps entered into to convert the debt into A$, but excluding debt used to fund AMP Bank activities. Refer to page 28 for more detail.
Corporate gearing – Calculated as total senior debt (page 28) plus the total of Subordinated Bonds and AMP Notes 3 divided by AMP Shareholders’ Equity plus all corporate debt (Including senior and subordinated) which is not on-lent to AMP Bank. AMP shareholders’ equity in the above calculation is adjusted to remove acquired asset management mandates and capitalised costs.
Cost to income ratio – Calculated as controllable costs divided by gross margin. Gross margin is calculated as EBIT plus investment income (pre-tax) plus controllable costs. For the calculation of Group and Bank cost to income ratios, gross margin excludes loan impairment expense.
EPS (actual) – Earnings per share calculated as NPAT (statutory) of AMP Limited divided by the statutory weighted average number of ordinary shares.
EPS (underlying) – Calculated as NPAT (underlying) divided by the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares.
External AUM (AMP Capital) – Assets managed by AMP Capital sourced from institutional clients (including corporate, public sector and industry superannuation funds, and large non-superannuation funds), non-AMP dealer groups, private clients and international clients and partnerships.
Group cash – Cash and cash equivalents held outside business units.
Intangibles – Represents acquired goodwill, acquired asset management mandates, capitalised costs, buyer of last resort (BOLR) assets and other assets similar to goodwill acquired upon acquisition of AXA.
Interest cover (actual) – Calculated on a rolling 12 month post-tax basis as NPAT (statutory) of AMP Limited before interest expense on corporate debt for the year divided by interest expense on corporate debt for the same period.
Interest cover (underlying) – Calculated on a rolling 12 month post-tax basis as NPAT (underlying) before interest expense on corporate debt for the year divided by interest expense on corporate debt for the same period.
Internal AUM (AMP Capital) – Assets managed by AMP Capital sourced from AMP’s business units.
Investment income – The income on shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets (as opposed to income producing operating assets) attributed to the BUs (including Group Office). The return on AMP Bank income producing investment assets is included in AMP Bank NPAT.
Shareholder funds invested in income producing assets may be higher or lower than BU capital due to the working capital requirements of the business unit.
From 1H 21, the normalisation of expected returns on investment income through the use of a separate market adjustment has been abolished, with reported investment income now reflecting actual, rather than forecast, investment returns.
Investment performance (AMP Capital) – The percentage of AUM measured against market benchmarks as well as client goals.
Level 3 eligible capital – Comprises the highest quality components of capital for AMP Limited as the head of a Level 3 group. Level 3 eligible capital has similar characteristics to Common Equity Tier 1 capital for insurers and ADIs.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) – A requirement to maintain an adequate level of high quality liquid assets to meet liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day period under a stress scenario. Absent a situation of financial stress, the value of the LCR may not be less than 100%.
Minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) – Refer to page 26.

Accounting treatment, definitions and exchange rates cont’d
MUTB – Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB) previously held a 15% shareholding in AMP Capital which was repurchased in September 2020. MUTB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG).
Net interest margin (AMP Bank) – Net interest income over average interest earning assets.
Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) – The Net Stable Funding Ratio seeks to promote the stable funding of a bank’s balance sheet based on the liquidity characteristics of its assets and off-balance sheet activities over a one year time horizon. The measure aims to ensure that long-term assets are financed with at least a minimum amount of stable funding.
Non-AUM based revenue (AMP Capital) – Revenue primarily derived from real estate management, development and leasing fees as well as infrastructure equity commitment fees.
NPAT – Also referred to as NPAT (underlying), represents shareholder attributable net profit or loss after tax excluding non-recurring revenue and expenses.
NPAT (statutory) – Reflects the net profits (or losses) distributable to AMP Limited shareholders in a given period.
Practice finance loans – Business loans provided to AMP aligned financial advisers, which are secured by a General Security Agreement over the adviser’s business assets, including the client servicing rights, or other assets. Commercial lending credit policy, process and rates apply to these loans.
Performance and transaction fees (AMP Capital) – Includes performance fee revenues primarily relating to variable fees on open-ended and closed-end funds across real estate, infrastructure debt and infrastructure equity. Transaction fees comprise one-off revenues in relation to the above asset classes, particularly infrastructure debt transactions and debt advisory as well as one-off divestments. These fees are typically highly variable in nature, both in quantum and timing.
Return on capital (AMP Bank) – Return on capital is calculated as NPAT, less distributions on Additional Tier 1 capital divided by average total capital resources (for the purpose of this calculation, total capital resources is balance sheet equity, less Additional Tier 1 capital) for the period.
RoBUE (from 1H 20) – Return on BU equity is calculated as BU NPAT, annualised for the number of days in the period (for half years), divided by the average of the BU’s current balance of tangible capital resources and the closing balances of the prior two periods. In each case, no allowance is made for the benefit of gearing, which occurs at the AMP group level.
RoE (actual) – Calculated as NPAT (statutory) of AMP Limited divided by the average of the monthly average shareholder equity for the period.
RoE (underlying) – Calculated as annualised NPAT (underlying) divided by the average of the monthly average shareholder equity for the period.
Seed and sponsor revenue (AMP Capital) – Income on seed and sponsor capital assets, including normal valuation movements and net profit/loss on sales, gross of funding costs.
Tier 2 capital – Includes components of capital that, to varying degrees, fall short of the quality of Common Equity Tier 1 capital and Additional Tier 1 capital but nonetheless contribute to the overall strength of an insurer or ADI.
Variable costs – Include costs that vary directly with the level of related business (eg investment management fees, banking commissions and securitisation costs).
