AMP Limited reports Q1 2011 cashflows and Assets under Management (AUM)

AMP Limited today reported cashflows AUM and for its AMP business and cashflows, AUM and in-force premiums for its AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Limited (AXA APH) Australian and New Zealand businesses for the first quarter ending 31 March 2011.

AMP merged with AXA APH’s Australian and New Zealand businesses on 30 March 2011.

Effective on 30 March 2011, AXA APH sold its 50 per cent share in the AXA-AllianceBernstein joint venture, to AllianceBernstein LP. As such, AXA APH AUM disclosed as at 31 March 2011 excludes AllianceBernstein and represents AXA APH’s AUM which will form part of the merged company. Cashflows (including comparatives) also exclude AllianceBernstein.

AMP Limited

AMP Financial Services (AFS) net cashflows for the quarter were $42 million, down from $236 million in the first quarter of 2010 as higher cash inflows were offset by higher cash outflows.

Excluding major internal product flows, AFS persistency was 90.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2011, down from 91.7 per cent. Persistency decreased as a result of higher external cash outflows.

Net cashflows for AMP’s retail superannuation and pension business were $123 million, up $23 million on the first quarter of 2010. Cash inflows were 30 per cent higher and benefited from higher rollovers into AMP Flexible Super from new customers. Cash outflows increased by 31 per cent as a result of higher external outflows and higher AUM balances.

Net cashflows into the new AMP Flexible Super product were $662 million in the first quarter of 2011. Fifty seven per cent of cash inflows were contributions to Superannuation accounts and 43 per cent of cash inflows were contributions to Retirement accounts. AMP Flexible Super – superannuation cash inflows include $4 million of inflows relating to pre-retirement customers moving from AMP’s closed retail superannuation product (AMP Flexible Lifetime – Super) to the core option in AMP Flexible Super – superannuation.

AMP Limited reports Q1 2011 cashflows and Assets under Management (AUM) …/ 2

Corporate superannuation net cashflows were $122 million, down $68 million on the first quarter of 2010. Net cashflows fell as a result of higher cash inflows being more than offset by higher cash outflows. Cash inflows increased as a result of higher rollovers in, with employer contributions remaining resilient, however discretionary contributions remained subdued. Cash outflows increased by 26 per cent as a result of both higher internal and external outflows.

Net cashflows for retail investments was an outflow of $33 million, down $40 million on the first quarter of 2010. Retail investment net cashflows were impacted by low demand for investment products across the industry.

Net cash outflows for external platforms were $35 million, down from a net cash inflow of $40 million in the first quarter of 2010. External platforms net cashflows have been impacted by lower inflows into Asgard investment products and higher Asgard superannuation and pension outflows.

Australian mature net cash outflows increased $48 million compared to the first quarter of 2010 as a result of lower inflows into the RSA product, which was closed in May 2010.

Net cashflows in AMP’s New Zealand business fell $14 million to $32 million in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of higher outflows. Outflows increased due to higher redemptions on investment products. Kiwisaver net cashflows increased 3 per cent in NZ dollar terms.

Assets under Management (AUM)

AMP Financial Services Contemporary Wealth Management (CWM) AUM at 31 March 2011 was $55.0 billion, up 6 per cent for the 12 months. CWM average AUM over the first quarter of 2011 was $54.5 billion.

AMP Flexible Super AUM at 31 March 2011 was $2.0 billion, with $0.8 billion in superannuation accounts and $1.2 billion in retirement accounts. The Choice option within Flexible Super accounts for 18 per cent of the customer base and 67 per cent of the total AUM.

AMP Capital Investors AUM at 31 March 2011 was $99.8 billion, up 3 per cent for the 12 months. Average AUM over the first quarter of 2011 was $98.8 billion.

AUM balances and related earnings are being impacted by the appreciation of the Australian dollar, particularly against the NZ dollar and the Japanese Yen.

AXA APH Limited

AXA Australian wealth management net cashflows for the quarter ending 31 March 2011 were an outflow of $634 million. Lower net cashflows were a result of both lower cash inflows and higher cash outflows.

Platform net cashflows of $84 million were down $8 million on the first quarter of 2010. Cash inflows increased 9 per cent as a result of higher sales in the Multiport self-managed superannuation offering. Cash outflows increased 13 per cent due to higher outflows from the Summit and North platforms. Higher North outflows are a result of higher AUM following growth in the product.

Advice net cash outflows were $184 million, down from a net cash inflow of $35 million in the first quarter of 2010. Cash inflows, which decreased by 12 per cent, were impacted by continued low investor sentiment and a reduction in Genesys adviser numbers resulting in lower inflows to Solar, a badged wrap platform used by Genesys advisers. Cash outflows increased by 40 per cent, reflecting in part, one-off transfers from the Solar platform.

AMP Limited reports Q1 2011 cashflows and Assets under Management (AUM) …/ 3

Investment primarily relates to asset management services by ipac and wholesale and retail unit trusts. Net cash outflows were $523 million, up from $473 million in the first quarter of 2010. Cash inflows fell 20 per cent due to lower wholesale inflows. Cash outflows improved 7 per cent as a result of lower wholesale customer redemptions.

Mature net cash outflows were $164 million, down from an outflow of $172 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net cashflows improved as a result of lower market volatility, which reduced both inflows and outflows into guaranteed savings products.

Total New Zealand wealth management net cashflows for the quarter ending 31 March 2011 were NZ$34 million, down from NZ$229 million in the first quarter of 2010.

New Zealand retail wealth management net cashflows fell as higher inflows, following the launch of new PIE funds and continued growth in KiwiSaver, were more than offset by higher outflows. Cash outflows were impacted by additional distributions paid to mortgage fund investors.

New Zealand wholesale wealth management , which comprises the AXA Global Investors business, had net cashflows of NZ$28 million, down from NZ$195 million in the first quarter of 2010. Wholesale wealth management cash inflows in 2010 benefited from AllianceBernstein relocating to Australia, leading to some New Zealand customers reallocating portfolios from AllianceBernstein to AXA Global Investors.
