2 AMP AMP Investor Report FY 22

Business overview

Overview of the AMP group

AMP is a leading wealth management and retail banking business in Australia and New Zealand.

The AMP group’s business is divided into three areas:

  • AMP Bank

  • Australian Wealth Management (including Platforms, Master Trust and Advice), and

New Zealand Wealth Management

New Zealand Wealth Management encompasses wealth management, financial advice and general insurance 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.

AMP also holds a number of important strategic partnerships at the group and business unit level.

AMP Bank

AMP Bank offers residential mortgages, deposits and some limited transactional banking services. 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 22, AMP Bank helped around 188,000 customers with their banking needs and during FY 22 provided over 9,290 new home loans.

Australian Wealth Management (AWM)

AWM comprises three business lines providing advice, superannuation, retirement income and managed investments, with the inclusion of the AMP Investments team supporting investment management and capability:

  • Platforms includes superannuation, retirement and investment offers 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 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 a market competitive super and pension solution across individual and corporate super through one of the largest retail Master Trusts in Australia (SignatureSuper) with around 700,000 customer accounts. 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 8 July 2021, AMP announced the sale of its Global Equities and Fixed Income business (GEFI), which completed on 28 March 2022. The Multi-Asset Group, which is responsible for asset allocation on behalf of AMP’s Master Trust and Platform clients, transitioned to Australian Wealth Management as of 1 January 2022.

On 24 December 2021, AMP announced the sale of the AMP Capital Infrastructure Debt business which completed on 11 February 2022.

On 27 April 2022, AMP announced the sale of the real estate and domestic Infrastructure Equity business to Dexus Funds Management Ltd (Dexus). On 28 April 2022, AMP announced the sale of the international Infrastructure Equity business to DigitalBridge, which completed on 3 February 2023. A number of residual investments of AMP Capital (CLAMP, PCCP and certain sponsor investments) will transfer to the AMP group on completion of these transactions and the AMP Capital business unit will cease to exist.

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

  • 23.87% in US real estate investment manager, PCCP.

On 28 June 2022, AMP Limited announced the completion of the divestment of its remaining 19.13% equity interest in Resolution Life Australasia (RLA) to Resolution Life Group, for a consideration of A$524m[1] .

  • Advice provides professional services to a network of aligned and Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs). 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 22, Australian Wealth Management managed AUM of A$124.2b and made A$2.0b in retirement payments during the period.

FY 22 performance summary

Key performance measures

  • FY 22 NPAT (underlying) of A$184m decreased 34% from A$280m in FY 21. This decrease largely reflects the impact of lower AMP Bank earnings (-33%) relative to FY 21 reflecting lower net interest margin, as well as FY 21 benefitting from a one-off credit loss provision release. Lower Australian Wealth Management earnings (-44%) reflecting strategic competitive repricing and market volatility, and lower New Zealand Wealth Management earnings (-18%) in a weaker market, also impacted NPAT.

  • FY 22 NPAT (statutory) profit of A$387m was favourably impacted by a ~A$390m gain on the sale of the Infrastructure Debt platform, partly offset by A$90m of separation costs, A$68m of impairments, A$61m of transformation costs, A$25m of remediation and related costs and other one-off items.

  • AMP Bank NPAT of A$103m decreased by A$50m (33%) from FY 21 predominantly driven by increased loan impairment expense (FY 21 included A$26m release of credit loss provision related to the impact of COVID-19), reduction in net interest income A$17m (4%) from FY 21, largely due to NIM compression in 1H 22, and an increase in costs to support ongoing growth.

  • AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased by A$2.0b (9%) to A$23.8b driven by competitive pricing, ongoing service improvement and targeted growth in principal and interest loans across both owner-occupied and investment lending. This increase also included ~A$400m of loans acquired from Nano in December 2022. This represents 1.5x system growth or 1.8x system growth including Nano (based on December 2022 APRA data).

  • Australian Wealth Management NPAT fell from A$89m in FY 21 to A$50m in FY 22 primarily due to the impact of strategic competitive repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, lower revenue predominantly from investment market volatility and the impact of stressed and volatile markets on the North guarantee, partly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from cost reduction initiatives.

  • Australian Wealth Management net cash outflows were A$5.3b in FY 22, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.2b in FY 21. This was largely attributable to lower outflows across both Platforms and Master Trust and growth in inflows from Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs). FY 22 net cash outflows also included A$2.0b of regular pension payments to members (FY 21 A$1.9b).

  • New Zealand Wealth Management NPAT of A$32m in FY 22 decreased A$7m (FY 21 A$39m) primarily due to a significant drop in global investment markets.

  • AMP Capital continuing operations NPAT of A$41m was up 11% from A$37m in FY 21 due to higher contributions from joint venture investments.

  • AMP Capital discontinued operations NPAT of A$51m was down 33% from A$76m in FY 21 due to a one off performance fee recognised in FY 21.

  • Investment income in FY 22 of A$71m reflects a decrease of A$31m on FY 21, driven by volatility in the North guarantee as a result of volatile markets and the sale of the equity investment in Resolution Life Australasia (no further results included after 1H 21). In 1H 22 AMP received a cash dividend from CLPC of ~A$14.5m up from ~A$7.2m in 1H 21.

  • Underlying return on equity was 4.6% in FY 22 (FY 21 6.9%).

Revenue drivers

  • Total Assets Under Management (AUM) and Administration of A$149.1b[1] in FY 22 decreased by A$22.8b (-13%) from FY 21 due to negative investment market returns and net cash outflows.

  • AMP Bank’s total revenue decreased 4% for the period. Net Interest Margin (NIM) decreased 24 bps from FY 21 to 1.38%, primarily driven by mortgage margin compression and asset mix changes, partly offset by favourable deposit margins. 2H 22 NIM of 1.44% was 12bps higher than 1H 22 driven by active focus on margin management.

  • Australian Wealth Management AUM decreased 13% to A$124.2b in FY 22 from FY 21. FY 22 AUM based revenue of A$719m decreased 22% from A$920m in FY 21 due to pricing changes and reduced AUM from market volatility.

  • Platform AUM decreased A$5.6b (8%) in FY 22 driven by investment market volatility, partly offset by positive net cashflows into AMP’s flagship North platform. Platform AUM based revenue to AUM of 48 bps in FY 22 was down 5 bps from 53 bps in FY 21.

  • Master Trust AUM was down A$8.9b (14%) in FY 22 driven by investment market volatility and the impacts of net cash outflows. Master Trust AUM based revenue to AUM of 67 bps in FY 22 was down 18 bps from 85 bps in FY 21, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification (17 bps) and volume and mix impacts (1 bp).

Cost drivers

  • AMP’s controllable costs, excluding AMP Capital discontinued operations, of A$791m were 6% lower than FY 21 due to cost out benefits partly offset by structural cost increases.

  • AMP group cost to income ratio was 72.4% in FY 22, up from 67.1% in FY 21 due to lower revenues.

  • AMP Bank’s cost to income ratio was 47.4%, up from 39.4% in FY 21, reflecting lower margins driven by competitive pressures and the Bank’s continued investment in its digitisation and growth strategy.

  • Australian Wealth Management controllable costs decreased by A$61m (10%) from FY 21 to A$525m.

Capital position

  • FY 22 total eligible capital resources were A$923m above regulatory and target capital requirements, up from A$383m at 31 December 2021.

  • As a result of a strengthened capital position, AMP intends to return A$1.1b to shareholders as part of the capital management strategy announced in August 2022. This comprises the finalisation of the current A$350m on-market share buyback, with a further A$400m expected to be returned via a FY 22 final dividend of 2.5 cents per share franked at 20% and other capital management initiatives in FY 23. Further guidance on the structure of the remaining A$350m will be provided following the completion of the AMP Capital trade sales.

  • The Group has completed A$267m of its announced A$350m on-market buyback since August 2022.

1 Includes Australian Wealth Management and New Zealand Wealth Management AUM and SuperConcepts AUA.

1 Wholesale funding includes A$1,034m of borrowings under AMP Bank’s Term Funding Facility provided by the Reserve Bank of Australia (FY 21 A$1,034m).

Net profit after tax

FY 22 NPAT of A$103m decreased by A$50m (33%) from FY 21 predominantly driven by increased loan impairment expense (FY 21 included A$26m release of credit loss provision related to the impact of COVID-19), reduction in net interest income A$17m (4%) from FY 21, largely due to NIM compression in 1H 22, and an increase in costs to support ongoing growth.

Net interest margin (NIM) was 1.38% in FY 22, 24 bps lower than FY 21 driven by mortgage margin compression and asset mix changes, partially offset by favourable deposit margins. The total loan book closed A$1,975m (9%) higher than FY 21. Intense competition and a higher proportion of fixed loans in 1H 22 continued to place downward pressure on revenue margins in FY 22. NIM improved during 2H 22 to 1.44% as a result of the increasing interest rate environment and the Bank will continue to look at ways to optimise deposit and funding costs. AMP Bank will pursue growth above system and strengthen NIM within our return on capital hurdle for FY 23.

AMP Bank’s return on capital in FY 22 was 9.3%, a decrease of 5.1 percentage points from FY 21, as a result of lower profit and a higher capital base set in anticipation of APRA’s unquestionably strong capital reforms.

Central to the recent enhancements are the implementation of several digital services including electronic signatures for applications, online verification of identity and the ‘Broker-Ordered Valuations’ service which further streamlines the home loan origination process to save brokers time and reduce ‘time to yes’ for customers.

A key strategic development for the Bank is the announcement to offer a direct to customer digital mortgage leveraging FinTech Nano’s lending platform which was launched in Q3 22. For some customers, unconditional approvals were delivered within minutes. This supports the Bank’s strategy to accelerate growth in the home loan market as a tech-enabled challenger bank.

Other operational highlights include:

  • Connecting with NPP (New Payments Platform) enabling customers to receive funds through single credit transfer (SCT).

  • The median customer cycle time to unconditional approval improved by 33% (from 12.3 days in FY 21) to 8.3 days. AMP Bank measures end-to-end customer cycle time as this is the time the customer actually experiences.

  • Launch of electronic signatures for loan applications and the ‘Access Seeker’ credit report service which provides visibility of customer liabilities upfront.

  • Enhancements to My AMP Online in relation to card management.

Operational developments

In FY 22, AMP Bank continued its strategic investment in technology with a series of enhancements to further digitise and automate the lending experience with a focus on providing leading tools to simplify and improve the experience for brokers, advisers and customers.

  • Introduction of DocuSign for existing customer forms.

  • Strong progress on the digital origination and establishment of deposit products (straight through processing), with more than 76% (70% FY 21) of retail deposit accounts opened digitally.

  • In August 2022 AMP Bank was ranked second amongst all Banks in the Momentum Media Survey for broker experience.

Lending

AMP Bank continues to focus on growth by enhancing its service and price propositions in FY 22. As a result, the residential loan book grew by A$2,040m (9%) from FY 21, achieving 1.5x system growth or 1.8x system growth including Nano (based on December 2022 APRA data) in a highly competitive lending environment. AMP Bank’s loan growth includes its acquisition of Nano’s direct to consumer loan portfolio with a balance of ~A$400m at 31 December 2022.

AMP Bank’s proportion of broker originated loans reduced by 3% to 87% for FY 22 (90% at FY 21). Leveraging Nano’s lending platform, the Bank intends to grow its direct/digital channel in the coming years.

Residential mortgage competition, particularly in the owner-occupied principal and interest market remains high. Within this environment, AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased to A$23.8b driven by competitive pricing and ongoing service improvement. Interest only lending represents 15% of the total book, marginally up from 14% at FY 21, the result of active risk management.

AMP Bank is targeting total residential lending growth above system over the long term, subject to competitive landscape, return on capital hurdles and funding availability.

The practice finance loan portfolio declined from A$317m at FY 21 to A$252m at FY 22 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 increased A$4m from FY 21 to A$33m in FY 22 reflecting the changing macro-economic environment.

Mortgages in arrears (30+ days) increased 0.02 percentage points from FY 21 to 0.80% in FY 22. Mortgages in arrears (90+ days) decreased 0.20 percentage points to 0.30% in FY 22 and compares favourably to peers. AMP Bank no longer has any customers on the COVID-19 repayment pause program. AMP Bank continues to work with customers in hardship to return to regular repayments, and to support them through a range of options, depending on their individual circumstances.

AMP Bank continues to focus on maintaining book quality with 67% of customers being owner-occupied, an average book loan to value ratio (LVR) of 66% and geographical exposure skewed towards New South Wales (45%) and Victoria (23%). The dynamic LVR weighted average for existing mortgage business increased by 5% to 63% in FY 22 reflecting latest property values. 41% of AMP Bank customers were ahead of their mortgage repayments schedule by more than three months, which is consistent with FY 21.

Costs

The Bank’s variable costs of A$115m were A$47m (69%) higher than FY 21 largely due to the release of a COVID-19 related credit loss provision of A$26m in FY 21. Brokerage and commissions were A$8m (13%) higher than FY 21 reflecting strong growth in the loan book. Other variable costs increased by A$10m (31%) due to additional FTE required to support elevated volumes.

AMP Bank’s controllable costs of A$135m were A$9m (7%) higher than FY 21 driven by investment in technology costs and bank contact centre employee costs which increased by A$6m in total. Investment in technology has helped to automate, digitise, enhance customer experience, improve operational efficiency and provide capacity for scale. Active cost management and discipline continues to be a focus in 2023.

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$29.0b at FY 22 (A$25.9b at FY 21).

Total deposits in FY 22 increased by A$3.1b (18%) from FY 21 with household deposits growing at 3.6x system in FY 22. Majority of flows were sourced from customer deposits, largely term deposits, driven by higher relative customer rates. AMP Bank’s deposit to loan ratio was 87% at FY 22, compared with 81% at FY 21.

AMP Bank maintains a diversified liquidity portfolio with adequate high-quality liquid assets. As at FY 22, AMP Bank’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 152% (145% at FY 21) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio was 140% (146% at FY 21). Both remain above internal and regulatory requirements. The transition away from prior recognition of Alternative Liquid Assets (ALAs) recognised within the Reserve Bank’s Committed Liquidity Facility has resulted in proportionately more Commonwealth and State Government debt securities held within the LCR eligible liquid asset portfolio. Excluding recognition of the Committed Liquidity Facility, the LCR was 140% as at FY 22.

The total Capital Adequacy Ratio was 17.8% at FY 22 (16.2% at FY 21). The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) for FY 22 was 10.5% (10.4% at FY 21) and the Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.8% (12.9% at FY 21). AMP Bank’s CET1 ratio remains higher than its regional peers. All ratios remain above internal and regulatory requirements and are well positioned for changes to APRA’s revised capital framework which came into effect from 1 January 2023.

An intragroup indemnity is in place covering credit losses that relate to practice finance loans.

Australian Wealth Management cont’d

Net profit after tax

NPAT fell from A$89m in FY 21 to A$50m in FY 22 primarily due to the impact of strategic competitive repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, lower revenue predominantly from investment market volatility and the impact of stressed and volatile markets on the North guarantee, partly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from cost reduction initiatives.

AUM based revenue

AUM based revenue of A$719m was A$201m lower than FY 21 driven by:

Controllable costs

Controllable costs of A$525m were A$61m lower than FY 21 driven primarily by:

  • A$31m lower employee costs from cost out activity

  • A$23m 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$8m lower regulatory and professional fees primarily due to reduced regulatory levies and cost out activity

  • A$1m higher property and other operating costs.

  • pricing changes as part of Master Trust simplification (A$110m)

  • pricing changes on Platforms (A$15m)

  • market volatility resulting in lower average AUM and mix changes (A$76m).

Advice revenue

Investment income

Investment income loss of A$14m in FY 22 was A$29m lower than A$15m gains in FY 21, driven by volatility associated with the North guarantee reflecting the impact of volatile markets, particularly the rapid and unprecedented movement in interest rates in FY 22.

Advice revenue of A$56m was A$2m lower than FY 21 driven by:

  • impairments to the carrying value of practice investments in FY 21 not repeated (A$18m)

  • Licensee fee changes as part of revised commercial terms and higher investment and other income (A$15m)

Assets under management

Australian Wealth Management AUM of A$124.2b at FY 22 was A$18.1b lower than FY 21 (13%), driven by A$12.8b from investment market volatility and A$5.3b of net cash outflows.

  • growth in equity investment portfolio (A$4m), offset by

  • sale of the employed advice business and divestment of investments in majority owned aligned practices (A$39m).

Other revenue

Other revenue of A$31m was A$4m lower than FY 21. This primarily consisted of SuperConcepts revenue of A$30m, down A$2m from FY 21 driven by fund attrition.

Cashflow overview

Australian Wealth Management net cash outflows were A$5.3b in FY 22, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.2b in FY 21. The improvement in net cash outflows was largely attributable to lower outflows across both Platforms and Master Trust and growth in inflows from IFAs.

AUM based revenue to AUM

Variable costs

  • Investment management expenses were A$55m lower than FY 21 driven by simplification activity in Master Trust and lower average AUM in Master Trust and Platforms.

AUM based revenue to AUM of 55 bps was down 12 bps from FY 21 as expected, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification in Master Trust (8 bps), administration pricing changes in Platforms (1 bp) and volume and mix impacts (3 bps).

  • Other variable costs fell A$61m to A$40m driven by the sale of the employed advice business and divestment of investments in majority owned aligned practices.

Operational developments by division

Platforms

Platforms NPAT of A$66m was A$57m lower than FY 21 due to the impact of administration pricing changes in 2021, investment losses driven by volatility associated with the North guarantee from volatile markets, lower market returns, a change in NPAT contribution from AMP Investments and higher controllable costs to support business growth and increased strategic spend.

Platform AUM was down A$5.6b (8%) in FY 22 driven by investment market volatility partly offset by positive net cashflows 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 the award winning MyNorth Lifetime, a first-in-market retirement solution.

  • Expanded range of managed portfolios, with AUM surpassing A$7.7b.

  • Reshaped distribution and relaunched North brand, reflecting contemporary-focused platform.

  • Launched new client app designed to meet client servicing needs.

  • MyNorth achieved highest quality 5 apples rating from Chant West’s platform ratings.

  • Doubled partnerships with advice practices to 35 for partnered managed portfolios.

  • Rationalised two legacy platforms (Summit and Generations) to improve transparency and efficiency.

Platform margins were impacted by a number of drivers:

  • AUM based revenue to AUM bps for platforms of 48 bps in FY 22 down 5 bps from 53 bps in FY 21, driven by repricing in MyNorth, North and Summit (2 bps) and volume and mix impacts (3 bps).

Master Trust

Master Trust NPAT of A$55m was A$56m lower than FY 21 due to pricing changes as part of simplification partly offset by lower costs driven by cost out activity.

The superannuation business continues to simplify super and improve efficiency and member outcomes. Notable achievements in the period were:

  • Commenced the Investment Simplification strategy with the transition of 91,000 members in 61 closed investment options to the simplified menu, with further simplification on target for delivery in FY 23.

  • Maintained the highest external ratings, including a platinum rating from SuperRatings, a high quality rating from Chant West and a five quality-star rating from The Heron Partnership.

  • Seamlessly supported the transition of the AMP Investment business to AWM from AMP Capital, reflecting the new business operating model.

  • Recognition of investment in personalised interactions and member application enhancements with a top three finalist nomination by Chant West for Member Services Fund of the Year.

  • Expansion of AMP’s intra-fund advice offer to members including the launch of a new Transition to Retirement advice service.

  • SignatureSuper Allocated Pension was awarded Best Value Retirement Product by Money magazine.

Master Trust AUM was down A$8.9b (14%) in FY 22 driven by investment market volatility and the impact of net cash outflows.

AUM based revenue to AUM bps for Master Trust of 67 bps in FY 22 was down 18 bps from 85 bps in FY 21, driven by pricing changes as part of simplification (17 bps) and volume and mix impacts (1 bp).

The simplification of the Master Trust portfolio completed in Q3 21, with migrations into a contemporary offer driving a step change reduction in administration fees, which reduced AUM based revenue to 67 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.

AMP Investments

During the period AMP delivered a key strategic priority with completion of the transfer from AMP Capital of the Multi-Asset Group (MAG) capability to AWM, creating AMP Investments.

The transfer creates an end-to-end super and investment platforms business within AWM.

AMP Investments manages the retirement savings of AMP’s superannuation and platforms members, and investments on behalf of external institutional and retail clients.

AMP Investments manages A$76.1b in AUM as at December 2022, including retirement savings of AMP’s superannuation and platform members, and investments on behalf of external institutional and retail clients. This includes AMP’s flagship SignatureSuper, MySuper and choice superannuation products, including those offered as part of AMP’s workplace superannuation mandates and on the North platform.

Advice

Advice NPAT loss of A$68m was A$78m lower than FY 21 due to impairments to the carrying value of practice investments in FY 21 not repeated, sale of the employed advice business, licensee fee changes as part of revised commercial terms and lower costs driven by cost out activity.

The transformation of Advice continued to progress well in FY 22 with a number of notable developments throughout the period including:

  • Reinvigorated AMP Advice Network with new leadership and a renewed focus on service execution excellence which has resulted in improved sentiment with 68% of practices responding they were very satisfied or satisfied with services they had received from AMP Advice, up from 58% at 1H 22.[1]

  • Stabilisation of practice numbers, with resignation notices slowing in 2H 22 and the trend towards scaled business models continuing to drive practice merger discussions and external acquisitions.

  • Launch of the professional services model with the introduction of ‘user pays’ services in July 2022 and announcement of licensee offer changes effective 1 January 2023 to support sustainability and growth across the advice network.

  • Restructuring the equity investment portfolio to limit AMP’s equity holdings in advice businesses to a maximum of 49% complete.

  • Improved relationships with regulators with Advice lookback remediation and Best Interest Duty Attestation complete.

  • Strong participation in regulatory reform agenda with the government, regulators and Treasury.

SuperConcepts

  • SuperConcepts continues to transform the customer experience with the commencement of several projects targeted at internal software development to enhance automation and AI capability within operations.

  • Strong momentum continued during the year with a 10% growth in funds on the SMSF software platform (SuperMate) as at December 2022. Strong interest continues into 2023.

  • Improved delivery of FY 21 lodgement program has allowed an early start to FY 22 leading to the commencement of work on 58% more funds than planned and improved year-on-year momentum.

Investment performance

Through the second half of 2022, markets continued to be very volatile. The Australian equity market recovered from previous lows whilst bonds continued to decline and global markets remained very choppy with mixed results. Investment performance continued to be challenged in this environment. Key risks at the end of the quarter include whether inflation has peaked, falling house prices and a softening of economic conditions with weaker company earnings beginning to emerge.

The investment portfolios continue to be well diversified, which is assisting performance. AMP Investments’ diversification strategy is designed to hold a portfolio of investments that perform differently to each other in periods of volatility and through the investment cycle, helping to spread the risk. An active management approach has had mixed results due to the market volatility but continues to provide diversification to returns.

Cashflow overview

Australian Wealth Management net cash outflows were A$5.3b in FY 22, compared to net cash outflows of A$7.2b in FY 21.

The improvement in net cashflows was largely attributable to lower outflows across both Platforms and Master Trust and growth in inflows from IFAs.

Pension payments to members of A$2.0b in FY 22 were slightly up on A$1.9b in FY 21.

Internal inflows across wealth management were A$15.3b in FY 22 (A$13.8b in FY 21), representing 55% (53% in FY 21) of total wealth management cash inflows. The increase is largely due to A$3.1b of inflows following the closure of Summit and Generations in Q4 with customers being migrated to MyNorth. Outflows from Master Trust to Platforms have reduced from A$2.1b in FY 21 to A$1b in FY 22.

Platforms

Platforms net cashflows of A$936m in FY 22 were up from A$83m in FY 21. Pension payments of A$1.6b were up from A$1.5b in FY 21.

Net inflows to Platforms from Master Trust were A$1.0b (FY 21 A$2.1b) with the repricing in Master Trust slowing the rate of attrition to Platforms. Platforms generated improved externally sourced flows to offset this reduction in internal transfers.

North net cashflows of A$5.7b were up A$2.4b compared to FY 21 driven by the closure of Summit and Generations in Q4 and migration of existing members to MyNorth (A$3.1b). Externally sourced inflows increased A$0.5b (7%) whilst external outflows decreased A$0.3b (5%). North inflows from IFAs in FY 22 of A$1.7b were up 31% on FY 21.

AMP Personalised Portfolio saw outflows of A$65m in FY 22 as clients exited following notice of the intended closure.

Master Trust

Retail superannuation net cash outflows of A$2.1b in FY 22 improved by A$1.8b compared to FY 21 driven by lower outflows to industry and retail competitors and lower internal transfers to Platforms.

Corporate superannuation net cash outflows of A$1.8b in FY 22 were A$0.5b higher than net outflows of A$1.3b in FY 21. FY 22 was impacted by A$0.9b from the loss of corporate mandates (FY 21 A$0.1b).

While underlying cashflow trends continue to improve, further mandate losses are expected in FY 23 with the conclusion of a corporate super mandate expected to result in approximately A$4.0b in cash outflows during the year.

1 Other New Zealand Wealth Management cashflows and AUM includes non-KiwiSaver wealth management products.

2 Primarily investment returns.

Net profit after tax

FY 22 NPAT decreased A$7m (18%) on FY 21 primarily due to lower average AUM (-15%) from lower global investment markets in FY 22.

Revenue

AUM based revenue decreased by A$24m (21%) on FY 21 due to the reduction in average AUM in FY 22 following the drop in global investment markets and NZWM’s conclusion as a KiwiSaver Default provider in FY 21 and the product repricing in 2H 21 following NZWM’s transition to a new index-based investment philosophy.

Other revenue of A$33m in FY 22 was A$1m down on FY 21 mainly due to lower general insurance revenue.

Variable costs

Total variable costs of A$45m decreased by A$14m (24%) on FY 21 due to lower average AUM in FY 22 and the reduction in investment management fees following NZWM’s transition to a new investment philosophy in 2H 21.

Controllable costs

FY 22 controllable costs of A$35m were down A$1m on FY 21 primarily reflecting ongoing efforts to offset the inflationary pressure observed across the economy and simplify the operating model following the conclusion of NZWM’s term as a KiwiSaver Default provider.

FY 22 cost to income ratio of 43.8% increased 4.2 percentage points on FY 21 primarily as a result of lower revenues.

Cashflows and AUM

FY 22 AUM of A$10.5b decreased A$1.7b (14%) from FY 21. The decrease was predominantly driven by lower investment markets in FY 22 (A$1.5b), negative foreign exchange movements following the weakening of NZ$ versus A$ (A$0.1b) and net cash outflows (A$0.1b).

Net cash outflows of A$126m in FY 22 improved from net cash outflows of A$1.0b in FY 21, led by positive KiwiSaver cash inflows of A$136m and a reduction in outflows from other wealth management products.

Operational developments

Operational developments during FY 22 include:

  • On 11 February 2022, AMP announced the successful completion of the sale of AMP Capital’s Infrastructure Debt platform to Ares.

  • On 28 March 2022, AMP announced the successful completion of the sale of AMP Capital’s Global Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business to Macquarie Asset Management.

  • On 27 April 2022, AMP announced it had entered into an agreement for the sale of the AMP Capital domestic infrastructure equity and real estate business to Dexus Funds Management Ltd (Dexus). Completion is dependent on fulfilment of conditions precedent.

  • Subsequent to year end, on 3 February 2023, AMP announced the successful completion of the sale of AMP Capital’s international infrastructure equity business to DigitalBridge.

Net profit after tax

AMP Capital’s FY 22 NPAT was A$92m, down 19% from A$113m in FY 21. AUM based earnings fell 39% to A$253m compared to A$414m in FY 21, driven by the sale of the Infrastructure Debt platform and GEFI business and stabilisation actions leading to margin compression, partly offset by strong returns from joint ventures.

Non-AUM based management fees mainly comprise infrastructure equity commitment fees and real estate management, development and leasing fees. Non-AUM based management fees were A$86m in FY 22, down A$5m from FY 21.

Performance and transaction fees of A$16m were down A$56m (78%) compared to FY 21 due to a one-off carried interest predominantly from closed end infrastructure funds recognised in FY 21 not repeated in FY 22.

FY 22 seed and sponsor capital investments were A$359m. These include investments across open and closed end real asset funds. Seed and sponsor investment returns increased A$18m from FY 21 reflecting earnings from an investment made towards the end of 2021. Given market volatility, income from seed and sponsor capital investments vary from period to period.

Controllable costs of A$278m in FY 22 decreased 37% from FY 21 following the sale of the Infrastructure Debt platform and GEFI businesses and active cost management given the evolving shape of the business.

AMP Capital’s effective tax rate in FY 22 was 19%, down from 22% in FY 21 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.

Operational highlights by division

Infrastructure equity – International

The division successfully deployed capital on behalf of investors during 2H 22 through subsequent equity injections into five separate portfolio companies within GIF II. From an ESG perspective, GIF I and GIF II achieved a GRESB score of 93 and 92 respectively, a 5-star rating, demonstrating the team’s commitment to sustainability.

Infrastructure equity – Domestic

The domestic infrastructure equity business continued to deliver stable returns during 2022 despite challenging macro-economic conditions. Aviation and student accommodation sectors continue to recover after Australia’s opening of borders post the COVID-19 pandemic. Energy, aged care and social infrastructure sector returns remained resilient, and in some cases benefited from the recent interest rate hikes and high inflation environment.

The investment team remains focused on growth, assessing opportunities to capitalise on changing market conditions and long-term thematic trends. Examples include:

  • a A$1.8b refinancing of Reliance Rail’s senior debt facilities with a Green Sustainability-linked loan, one of the first of its kind in the Asia Pacific market,

  • a refinancing of the Auckland South Correctional Facility where 100% of the debt was termed out, ameliorating future refinancing risk for the asset, and

  • a further investment in the purpose built student accommodation sector, adding 731 beds at the Australian National University, was completed.

Real estate

With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions across the country, retail trade has improved on prior year with the Real Estate business continuing to deliver strong investment performance relative to respective benchmarks and tenant lease occupancy remained high at 94.5%.

AMP Capital continued to be active in the market for clients. Transaction activity totalled over A$1.4b of acquisitions/ divestments settled in 2022, including a further 25% interest in Macquarie Centre acquired by AMP Capital Shopping Centre Fund to move to 50% ownership and a further 20% interest in Pacific Fair acquired by AMP Capital Retail Trust to move to 100% ownership.

In April 2022, Quay Quarter Tower reached practical completion and has since been awarded the prestigious International High-Rise Award in Germany for 2022/23. The building, which is 93% leased by area and has both AMP Limited and AMP Capital as tenants, was selected for the award from 34 projects located across 13 countries.

A total of A$13.5b of managed funds were transitioned off the AMP Capital platform to third party managers in 2H 22 at the request of underlying investors in those funds.

1 FY 21 has been restated to reflect the transfer of AMP Investments (formally known as MAG) AUM to Australian Wealth Management.

2 Investment returns and other includes fees, investment returns, distributions, taxes and foreign exchange movements.

3 Real estate AUM comprises Australian (A$7.6b), NZ (A$1.2b) and Global (A$3.1b) managed assets. Australian real estate AUM is invested in office (27%), retail (67%) and industrial (6%).

Assets under management (AUM)

FY 21 AUM of A$106.3b has been restated to exclude the transition of MAG to Australian Wealth Management. AUM decreased by A$65.4b to A$40.9b in FY 22 reflecting the sale of GEFI to Macquarie Asset Management and the sale of Infrastructure Debt to Ares and net cash outflows.

Net cash outflows of A$16.2b included the changing of trustee and manager for both AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund and AMP Capital Retail Trust. Cashflows were partly offset by positive market returns/valuations (A$1.8b).

As at 31 December, AMP Capital’s infrastructure teams have access to A$0.9b of uncalled committed capital.

International

AMP Capital’s number of direct international institutional clients

decreased by 220 to 166 in FY 22, managing A$11.5b on their behalf (A$20.8b at FY 21). The drop in client numbers is largely attributable to the sale of the Infrastructure Debt platform.

China

During FY 22 the CLAMP joint venture launched nine new products, including ETF, diversified, equity and bond funds. The joint venture managed A$68.3b (RMB 322b) of total AUM on behalf of Chinese retail and institutional investors. This was down 5% from RMB 340b at FY 21.

In FY 22, AMP Capital’s share of CLAMP net cash outflows were A$0.5b, compared to cashflows of A$1.0b in FY 21. CLAMP attracted inflows into equity funds, and experienced outflows in fixed income and cash.

AMP Capital reports its 14.97% share of the joint venture’s AUM (A$10.3b).

Group Office and related matters AMP Investor Report FY 22 23

Group Office and related matters cont’d

Group Office costs not recovered from business units

FY 22 Group Office costs not recovered from business units were A$96m pre-tax, up A$1m from A$95m in FY 21.

Group Office costs include enterprise costs, professional indemnity insurance, board and listing requirement costs.

Investment income

Investment income was A$73m post-tax at FY 22, down from A$79m at FY 21. Investment income comprises income on Group Office investible capital, including hedging activities and equity investments in CLPC. 1H 21 included profits from Resolution Life Australasia (sale completed 28 June 2022).

Investment income on Group Office investible capital was A$26m in FY 22, up from A$19m in FY 21 predominantly driven by movements in interest rates and hedging gains in the period.

Other investment income was A$47m in FY 22, down from A$60m in FY 21, predominantly due to the sale of the equity investment in Resolution Life Australasia. CLPC earnings continue to positively contribute to investment earnings, in 1H 22 AMP received a cash dividend from CLPC of ~A$14.5m up from ~A$7.2m in 1H 21. AMP’s investment in CLPC (19.99%) is equity accounted and reported through Other investment income.

Impairments

FY 22 impairments of A$68m post-tax relate to the costs of onerous lease contracts arising from reduced office space requirements, and the write-down of assets on AMP’s balance sheet related to the development of an advice software solution and a small amount of capitalised cost impairments.

Separation costs

Separation costs in relation to the separation of AMP Capital businesses of A$90m (A$129m pre-tax spend) were incurred in FY 22.

Other items

Other items largely comprise a gain on sale of the Infrastructure Debt platform (~A$390m), permanent tax differences and other one-off related impacts. 2H 22 was impacted by a tax liability as part of the restructure of the private markets business in preparation for its sale.

Amortisation of acquired intangible assets

FY 22 amortisation of acquired intangible assets was A$4m. Included in this line item are amortisation of the advice register purchases, PCCP and SuperConcepts business acquisitions. Amortisation of acquired intangibles for FY 23 is expected to be ~A$5m.

Client remediation and related costs

FY 22 client remediation and related costs of A$25m post-tax relate primarily to revisions to remediation costs pertaining to the Enforceable Undertaking (E.U.) as agreed with APRA and announced on 16 November 2021 and residual costs for addressing legacy advice matters and legal costs relating to class actions.

Transformation cost out

Transformation costs of A$61m post-tax in FY 22 largely relate to realising cost improvements and program costs.

Interest expense on corporate debt

FY 22 interest expense on corporate debt was A$48m, down from A$51m in FY 21 primarily due to lower corporate debt.

The average volume of corporate debt decreased through FY 22 to A$1,371m (A$1,993m in FY 21).

The weighted average cost of debt in FY 22 was 4.89%, up from 3.60% in FY 21. This was mainly due to increases in benchmark interest rates used to set the underlying price of corporate debt.

Capital, debt and liquidity AMP Investor Report FY 22 25

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 Financial Markets Authority of 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. Target capital requirements are approved by the AMP Board.

The Group-wide stress testing exercise undertaken in FY 22 re-calibrated the sizing and allocation of target capital requirements.

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:

  • maintain a sufficient surplus above minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) to reduce the risk of breaching MRR, and

  • maintain the AMP group’s credit ratings.

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.

Capital position

At 31 December 2022, total eligible capital above regulatory and target capital requirements was A$923m (A$383m at 31 December 2021).

As a result of a strengthened capital position, AMP intends to return A$1.1b to shareholders as part of the capital management strategy announced in August 2022. This comprises the finalisation of the current A$350m on-market share buyback, with a further A$400m expected to be returned via a FY 22 final dividend of 2.5 cents per share franked at 20% and other capital management initiatives in FY 23. Further guidance on the structure of the remaining A$350m will be provided following the completion of the AMP Capital trade sales.

Movement in AMP group surplus capital FY 21 to FY 22

The movement in the level of AMP group surplus capital throughout FY 22 includes the following items:

  • Capital generated from underlying business operation (A$184m).

  • Items reported below NPAT (underlying) including the impact of impairments (A$68m), separation costs (A$90m), transformation costs (A$61m), client remediation and related costs (A$25m) and amortisation of intangible assets (A$4m) offset by A$400m of other items.

  • The completion of the divestment of Resolution Life Australasia in the first half, net of dividends received since announced on 3 November 2021.

  • The ongoing A$350m share buyback, with A$267m completed during FY 22.

  • 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.

  • The Group is required to hold an equal amount of capital against the internal subordinated note from AMP Limited to AMP Bank, following the redemption of the external note from AMP Limited in December 2022.

  • Capital impacts from markets. This includes the impact of changes in interest rates and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the value of assets held on balance sheet.

Net tangible assets

Net tangible assets (NTA) at 31 December 2022 is A$3,788m or A$1.24 per share.

To derive NTA, statutory shareholders equity of A$4,171m is adjusted for accounting mismatches and other adjustments of A$94m, and goodwill and other intangibles of A$289m.

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 Based on the maturity date of the instrument. 2021 has been restated.

Corporate debt

The Group’s commitment to reduce corporate debt over the second half of the year saw corporate debt volumes reduce by A$353m to A$1,078m in FY 22, with all corporate debt 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 2022 group liquidity (excluding AMP Bank) was A$0.7b of liquid assets. A$450m of undrawn facilities were cancelled in FY 22.

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$20.9b of deposits, including A$14.4b of customer deposits.

AMP Bank actively hedges its funding against movements in short-term interest rates. However, the Bank remains exposed to situations where credit spreads are higher when wholesale funding requires replacement.

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 2022, total RMBS funds were A$4.7b. AMP Bank has a range of warehouse facilities in place worth A$2.0b in aggregate.

  • 1 NPAT sensitivities exclude investment income which is derived from A$0.7b of Group Office investible capital (cash and liquid securities) as well as A$1.0b in equity investments, including holdings in China Life joint ventures (A$528m), various investments in AMP Capital (A$13m), AMP Capital’s holding in PCCP (A$170m), and various entities linked to the AMP Advice business (A$73m). Equity investments includes A$228m of assets held for sale. Management has elected to classify these assets as deductions from eligible capital until their planned asset sales.

  • 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 22 position, ie not ‘forward looking’, and make no allowances for events subsequent to 31 December 2022, 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 2022.

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, and

  • AMP Bank net interest margin is assumed to be insensitive to changes in cash rate.

Profit sensitivities

The sensitivities set out above apply to FY 22 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 the performance of 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 22 NPAT than set out in the table above.

The sensitivities are based on the FY 22 position and are not forward looking. If using the sensitivities as forward looking (eg applying FY 22 profit sensitivities for 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 22.

28 Additional AMP group information AMP Investor Report FY 22

Sensitivities – profit and capital cont’d

The AWM NPAT sensitivities excludes the impact on investment returns from assets supporting the operational capital requirements of the superannuation business and the North Guarantee.

The AMP Capital NPAT sensitivities assume no change to performance and transaction fees and do not include seed and sponsor capital investments.

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 has 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 2022, which may have a significant impact on these sensitivities.

Corporate gearing – Calculated as total senior debt (page 26) 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.

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.

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.

Minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) – Refer to page 24.

Net interest margin (NIM) (AMP Bank) – Net interest income over average interest earning assets.
