6 AMP AMP Investor Report FY 10
Strategic overview
Overview
AMP is a leading wealth management company operating in Australia and New Zealand, with an evolving banking business in Australia and selective investment management activities in Asia. Its ambition is to become the region’s pre-eminent wealth manager and investment house.
The company is one of Australia’s largest superannuation providers and investment managers with A$115b in assets under management. AMP’s 2,134 strong financial planning network is one of the largest in Australia and New Zealand.
During 2010, AMP completed a series of change initiatives, which are reshaping the company for future growth with:
-
a reinvigorated product set with choices that meet different needs and budgets
-
a repositioned advice business, with a transformed, increasingly productive planner force
-
a broader and deeper distribution footprint, including a growing investment management presence in Asia
-
a strengthened set of domestic and global investment capabilities across a broad range of asset classes.
AMP’s two business units are AMP Financial Services (AFS) and AMP Capital Investors (AMPCI).
Capital management
AMP remains strongly capitalised, with A$1,482m in regulatory capital resources above minimum regulatory requirements (MRR) at 31 December 2010 (A$1,242m at 31 December 2009). Regulatory capital was 2.4 times MRR, compared to 2.2 times at 31 December 2009.
AMP continues to take a prudent approach to capital management and is biased toward holding more capital rather than less, particularly in the current environment where a number of regulatory capital reviews are in progress.
AMP’s final 2010 dividend is 15 cents per share franked at 60%. AMP's dividend payout ratio for FY 10 is 82% of underlying profit. AMP's dividend policy is to pay dividends with a payout ratio in the range of 75% to 85% of underlying profit and franked to the maximum extent possible.
AMP will offer a discount of 1.5% to Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) participants. The DRP will not be underwritten and new shares will be issued.
Strategy
AMP’s ongoing investment across its five growth platforms has enabled the company to respond quickly to changing regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.
Renovating the core business
During the year, AMP made significant progress reshaping its core operations, and is now aggressively pursuing revenue and profit growth from these changes, which include:
-
AMP Flexible Super (an all-in-one superannuation and retirement income product), an improved insurance range, along with new investment funds.
-
No commissions on new superannuation, pension and investment business from 1 July 2010 (Australia). AFS’s New Zealand business will make this shift on 1 July 2011.
-
Fee-for-advice business models across its 880 Australian planner practices.
-
A larger, more productive planner network offering both holistic and scoped financial advice.
-
New alliances and third-party relationships to distribute AMP generated home loans, insurance and investment funds.
-
Strengthened global infrastructure and property investment capabilities.
-
Increased AUM from external sources and international clients, particularly from Asia.
Expanding to adjacent markets and new geographies
AMP is also investing in selective new markets and geographies to drive growth. In FY 10, these investments showed encouraging progress.
In the high net worth market, AMP’s Personalised Portfolio product increased net cashflows by 78% to A$128m in FY 10.
AMP is investing in new geographies to drive growth in its investment management business, AMPCI. In Asia, AMPCI continues to build its business in Japan, China, Singapore and India through a combination of organic growth, selective M&A and alliances.
Reshaping the business portfolio through targeted M&A and alliances
AMP pursues inorganic growth opportunities, like M&A and alliances, that are strategic, economic and within the company’s risk appetite.
During the year, AMP formed a partnership with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank to distribute its Flexible Lifetime Protection insurance product to the bank’s 1.35m customers.
In November, AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Limited's (AXA APH) independent directors unanimously recommended AMP’s merger proposal. The proposal, if approved by AXA APH minority shareholders and regulators (including the Federal Treasurer), will bring together AXA APH’s Australian and New Zealand businesses with AMP.
This investment has revolved around AMP’s strategy to renovate its core business to strengthen its competitiveness and relevance; expand into new markets and geographies; and reshape the business portfolio through targeted merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and alliances.
AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP 7
Strategic overview cont’d
The proposed merger will strengthen AMP’s competitive position, enabling it to:
- invest in enhanced products, services and systems to attract:
A number of regulatory capital reviews are also underway. In Australia, this includes separate reviews by APRA and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The New Zealand Reserve Bank is also introducing solvency standards for insurance companies.
-
new customers
-
financial planners, advisers and independent financial advisers
-
potential business partners
-
reach more customers through a broader financial planning network, with access to 9,000 aligned and non-aligned planners and advisers in Australia and New Zealand
-
provide a stronger domestic base to support growth in Asia through AMPCI.
In addition, the combined company’s increased size and resources will help it accelerate key components of its growth strategy, including the development of:
-
multi-brand advice options to better target different customer segments
-
enhanced platform options
-
expanded distribution of AMP Bank products.
AMP’s executive remuneration is aligned with its growth strategy
Remuneration includes both short and long-term incentives, which are aligned to the company’s performance and shareholders returns.
Short-term incentives are based on progress against AMP’s four key performance measures: underlying profit; underlying return on equity; growth measures including AFS and AMPCI net cashflows and the value of risk new business; and investment performance.
Long-term incentives are based on progress in generating total shareholder returns (TSR) in the top quartile of the market. AMP’s over-arching goal is to deliver first quartile TSR performance to shareholders, ie AMP aims to be in the top 25% of the major 50 Australian industrial companies (on the S&P/ASX 100 Index) in terms of TSR. In 2011, AMP will implement key changes to its remuneration framework to ensure it remains effective for the company, meets changing stakeholder expectations and reflects APRA's new governance standards, which were effective 1 April 2010.
AXA APH minority shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger proposal on 2 March 2011.
Regulatory environment
AMP has made significant changes to its Australian and New Zealand businesses to position them ahead of potential regulatory change. In Australia, this includes reforms stemming from the Ripoll inquiry, along with the Cooper and Henry reviews.
Draft legislation is expected in mid 2011 on the Government’s response to the Ripoll inquiry: the Future of Financial Advice reforms. If approved, these reforms (including a prospective ban on commissions and a statutory fiduciary duty on financial planners) would commence 1 July 2012.
Stronger Super reforms - the Government’s response to the Cooper Review - include MySuper, SuperStream and governance recommendations.
The changes AMP has made to its AFS business positions it strongly ahead of any legislative reform. These changes include:
-
removal of in-built commissions for new superannuation, pension and investment business
-
shift to fee-for-advice across its planner network
-
launch of a new all-in-one superannuation and retirement product.
AMP also strongly supports the Government's move to increase the superannuation guarantee (SG) levy from 9% to 12% by 2019.
In New Zealand, AMP is also well progressed on changes stemming from the New Zealand Financial Advisers Act, which was enacted on 1 December 2010.
AMP will continue to actively participate in and seek to influence the debate around the future direction of Australia and New Zealand’s superannuation industries.
8 AMP Financial Services AMP Investor Report FY 10
AMP Financial Services financial summary
Business overview
AMP Financial Services (AFS) is a wealth management business operating in Australia and New Zealand. It is one of Australia’s leading providers of retail and corporate superannuation and retirement incomes. It also has one of Australia and New Zealand’s largest financial planning networks.
During 2010 AFS repositioned its business in anticipation of future industry changes and has:
-
no commissions on new superannuation, pension and investment business (Australia)
-
a fee-for-advice business model across its 880 Australian planner practices
-
a competitive new product range designed to meet customer and planner needs and regulatory requirements
-
a broader range of distribution channels
-
a larger, more productive planner network.
Strategy
AFS’s strategy is to pursue growth by building greater distribution capacity (which includes improving planner productivity) and creating compelling customer offers.
Building greater distribution capacity
Growing planner numbers: In Australia, planner numbers increased by 45 (3%) to 1,812 in FY 10. Growth was driven by an increase in AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP) planners, Horizons Academy graduates, as well as the centrally managed client centre. Australian financial planning practice numbers also increased and were up 64 to 880 in FY 10.
The Horizons Academy continues to boost AMPFP planner numbers, with 81 planners graduating in FY 10. In 2011, the Academy will run four intakes, with capacity for 140 planners.
New Zealand adviser numbers decreased by 39 to 322 due to changing regulation and the challenging operating environment. AFS New Zealand adviser numbers have been impacted by initiatives to strengthen its network, including the rationalisation of less successful advisers.
Increasing planner productivity: Compared to the industry median, AFS planners are more productive[1] . Horizons Academy-trained planners are 50% more productive than planners who join AMPFP from other sources.
A series of initiatives continue to boost planner productivity:
- Paraplanning: Almost 300 practices now use this service regularly. Volumes increased 68% in FY 10, with more than half of Australian practices using the service during the year.
Broader distribution: During FY 10, AFS further expanded its distribution to drive revenue:
-
Risk insurance: AFS has partnered with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank to provide life insurance solutions to the bank’s 1.35m retail customers. AFS started rolling out Flexible Lifetime Protection to the bank’s 460 branches in October.
-
AMP Bank: Deposits increased by 23% to A$4.8b. Mortgages grew 3% to A$10.1b, with stronger growth in 2H 10. The Bank has more than 100,000 customers and in FY 10 contributed A$42m to contemporary wealth management’s operating earnings.
-
IFA and alliances: Risk sales through these channels increased 30%.
-
Financial planning: AFS launched an AMP branded walk-in financial planning centre in Parramatta (Sydney). The centre caters for 20 self-employed financial planners.
Creating compelling customer offers
During FY 10, AMP launched improved products and advice offers that respond to regulatory change, address consumer preferences and equip planners with a more contemporary, competitive product set. The products also deliver efficiencies across the business.
Superannuation and pensions: AFS’s streamlined product range now features AMP Flexible Super for retail and small-to-medium enterprises and SignatureSuper for large employers.
AMP Flexible Super, an all-in-one superannuation and retirement product, attracted A$1.3b in net cashflows from May 2010. On average, 150 new accounts are opened each day. The average customer superannuation balance is A$33k, which is higher than the retail industry average. The average balance for a retirement income account is A$212k. The product, awarded Canstar Cannex and The Heron Partnership maximum five star rating, has one of the lowest priced investment options in the industry.
SignatureSuper attracted two significant mandates in FY 10. AFS strengthened its corporate superannuation proposition during the year with the award-winning Member Benefits Report, a personalised report outlining an employee’s superannuation balance and benefits, as well as their projected savings at retirement.
AFS’s products for the high net worth market continue to generate increased cashflows. Personalised Portfolio’s net cashflows increased 78% to A$128m in FY 10.
Risk insurance: AFS enhanced its risk offer in FY 10 with product and service improvements. Australian individual risk API increased 9%.
-
Coin planner software: The new software is fully operational, and end-to-end process efficiency gains of up to 60% have been achieved.
-
Scoped advice: A range of scoped advice packages are helping planners make financial advice accessible, more relevant and affordable for customers. The packages, released in late 2010, are currently used by 200 planners.

AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP Financial Services 11
Australian contemporary wealth management cont’d
Business overview
The contemporary wealth management (CWM) business is focused on providing customers with financial planning services, superannuation, retirement income, investment and banking products.
CWM’s key priorities continue to be:
-
positioning AFS for a changing regulatory environment, including its renovated product offering
-
improving the quality of the advice experience and developing complementary advice channels
-
driving AUM and revenue growth while remaining vigilant on cost control
-
improving planner productivity and growing planner numbers.
Operating earnings
Operating earnings increased by A$25m (9%) to A$303m in FY 10 due to higher investment related revenue as a result of higher average AUM, which increased 14%, offset by higher variable costs and lower other revenue.
Investment related revenue to AUM
Investment related revenue to AUM fell 8 bps in FY 10 to 178 bps. The decline was due to:
-
lower initial planner fees on contributions (3 bps) due to lower new business volumes relative to AUM. Initial fees on contributions have no impact on CWM's operating earnings, as these lower fees from clients pass through to lower planner payments
-
higher fee rebates (2 bps) as investment markets in FY 10 were on average higher than in FY 09, and
-
lower asset management fees and lower corporate superannuation participating profits (SuperLeader).
2H 10 investment related revenue to AUM fell 3 bps from 1H 10 to 177 bps. The decline was due to lower initial planner fees as a result of lower new business volumes and the launch of AMP Flexible Super. On 1 November 2010, AMP repriced Flexible Lifetime - Super, Flexible Lifetime - Allocated Pension and CustomSuper. Following the repricing, all members are now charged both a member and a management fee. The repricing is expected to cause a small (2 bps) reduction in investment related revenue to AUM bps in FY 11, which will be offset by lower external investment management expenses. Therefore, operating earnings will not be impacted by the repricing.
AMP’s investment related revenue to AUM guidance remains unchanged at around 3% pa decrease across the cycle (in normal markets). This guidance includes an allowance for AMP’s superannuation customers moving to the new AMP Flexible Super product. To date, there has been less movement by existing customers to AMP Flexible Super than anticipated.
Other revenue
Other revenue fell A$10m (11%) in FY 10 to A$81m, driven by negative valuation movements on purchased client registers from AMP financial planners due to the decline in equity markets and lower persistency on purchased registers.
AMP Bank
AMP Bank has over 100,000 customers with a mortgage portfolio of A$10.1b and a deposit book of A$4.8b. Mortgages are funded by a combination of on-balance sheet (67% being retail, superannuation and wholesale deposits) and off-balance sheet (33% being securitisation) funding.
AMP Bank remains well positioned, with a capital adequacy ratio of 11.3% and a 90+ days loan arrears of 0.43% at 31 December 2010. Mortgage growth was A$0.3b in FY 10. FY 10 growth was constrained by uncertainty in the securitisation market and higher funding costs.
AMP Bank contributed A$42m to CWM operating earnings in FY 10, up from A$35m in FY 09. In FY 10, Bank related revenue fell 2% due mainly to higher funding costs. Variable costs fell 20% due mainly to upfront acquisition costs being amortised over a longer period to reflect the current profile of the mortgage book. Should the current maturity profile of the mortgage book remain steady, variable costs will remain at similar levels (as a percentage of the mortgage book). Controllable costs were A$42m in FY 10, down from A$45m in FY 09.
AMP Bank's return on capital increased 1% to 14.0% in FY 10. The Bank expects to manage its funding, liquidity and capital requirements through diversified funding sources including increased securitisation issuance and bank warehousing facilities as these markets recover. AMP Bank completed a A$1b securitisation in 1H 10 and plans to complete further transactions in 2011. Assuming the securitisation market remains open, the Bank expects its mortgage book to grow at a faster rate in FY 11. For further details on AMP Bank funding, refer to page 39.
Controllable costs
CWM has undertaken a number of distribution and product initiatives in FY 10, including the development and launch of AMP Flexible Super and Advice 2010. Investment in these initiatives is expected to improve CWM’s growth profile over the medium term. CWM controllable costs increased 1% (A$4m) to A$344m in FY 10. Costs associated with investment in growth initiatives have been partially offset by cost reductions in other parts of CWM.
In 2H 10 controllable costs increased A$18m from 1H 10 as a result of higher project costs, higher bank mortgage volumes and increased expenditure on employment. 2H 10 costs tend to be higher than 1H due to the annual costs of printing member statements.
The cost to income ratio decreased by 2.0 percentage points to 42.9% in FY 10 as a result of higher revenue more than offsetting the increase in controllable costs. Controllable costs to AUM fell 7 bps to 58 bps in FY 10 as the 1% increase in controllable costs was more than offset by the 14% increase in average AUM.
Return on capital
RoBUE for FY 10 was 40.9%, down from 42.9% in FY 09, reflecting higher capital allocated to the capital guaranteed SuperLeader product in 2H 09 and higher AUM.
Variable costs to AUM
Variable costs to AUM fell 1 bps to 64 bps in FY 10, primarily due to lower planner payments in 2H 10 due to lower cash inflows, partially offset by higher investment management costs. FY 10 investment management expense increased by 22% (relative to an increase in average AUM of 14%), as FY 09 included lower performance fees.

AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP Financial Services 13
Australian contemporary wealth protection cont’d
Business overview
Contemporary wealth protection (CWP) comprises individual risk and group risk products. Superannuation members benefit from holding a risk insurance product within a superannuation policy. In CWP's individual risk business, 53% of in-force and 67% of new business is written within a superannuation contract. Group risk is a key component of the corporate superannuation offer.
CWP’s key priorities are to:
-
grow market share while only writing profitable business
-
increase the proportion of superannuation customers who have adequate risk insurance coverage
Lapse rates
Lapse rate management is a critical driver of individual risk profitability. AMP continues to have lapse rates that are among the lowest in the industry.
In FY 10, lapse rates were 11.4%, 0.3 percentage points higher than FY 09 due to a higher number of customers transitioning to retirement and cancelling their insurance policy and changing business mix. 2H 10 lapse rates were higher than 1H 10 which is consistent with previous years and driven by annual age and inflation (CPI) premium increases that come into effect on 1 July each year for policies held within superannuation.
Controllable costs
-
ensure AMP product and service propositions remain competitive
-
improve ease and profitability of writing AMP risk business for planners
-
grow distribution through independent financial advisers and alliance channels
-
improve operational leverage.
Operating earnings
Operating earnings fell 16% in FY 10 to A$138m. CWP profit margins increased A$8m (6%) to A$152m due to higher individual risk API and improvement to closing FY 09 mortality assumptions. Profit margins as a percentage of average API fell 0.4 percentage points to 19.4% in FY 10 due to higher controllable costs.
Experience losses were A$14m in FY 10, compared to an experience profit of A$20m in FY 09. The experience loss in FY 10 was driven by higher than expected claims on individual risk income protection, group risk salary continuance and standalone group risk business. Individual risk and group risk written within superannuation continued to generate positive claims experience, albeit closer to long-term best estimate assumptions, which assume improved mortality for FY 10.
Annual premium in-force (API)
Individual risk API increased A$55m (9%) in FY 10, and A$46m (8%) in 2H 10. 2H 10 includes the annual benefit from Consumer Price Index (CPI) and age premium increases on risk policies held within superannuation.
Controllable costs increased A$18m (24%) to A$93m in FY 10, mainly due to increased project spend on distribution growth initiatives and product enhancements plus a higher allocation of other costs based on volume increases.
The cost to income ratio increased 6.4 percentage points to 27.7% in FY 10 as controllable costs increased and operating earnings declined, due to experience losses.
Controllable costs as a percentage of average API was 11.9% in FY 10, up from 10.3% in FY 09 due to the increase in controllable costs.
Return on capital
RoBUE for FY 10 was 23.2%, down from 30.1% in FY 09, reflecting the turnaround in experience profits and the increased capital allocated to the business for new business growth.
Embedded value (EV) and value of new business (VNB) - at the 3% discount margin
EV increased 13.6% in FY 10 before transfers. The increase was driven by new business and the impact of investment markets and bond yields, offset by higher unit costs.
VNB increased A$1m to A$101m in FY 10 as a result of higher volumes offset by higher unit costs.
For further details on EV and VNB, refer to pages 22 to 26.
The growth in FY 10 was driven by:
-
increased planner activity
-
strong sales growth through the independent financial advisers and alliances channel (up 30%). AFS has continued to benefit from increased investment in its business development capability, strong brand and competitive product and service offering to win new business in this channel. 14% of individual risk API is now sourced from the independent financial advisers and alliances channel.
Group risk API fell A$19m (12%) in FY 10. Competition in this segment has intensified, with group risk API impacted by the loss of two standalone corporate superannuation plans in 1H 10.
FY 10 individual risk API comprised lump sum insurance (78%) and disability, including income protection (22%). The composition of API was largely unchanged over the past year.

Experience profits in FY 10 (A$2m) is below FY 09 (A$6m), as FY 09 benefited from improved annuity experience profits which did not repeat in FY 10.

Managing mature for investment market movements
Mature AUM supports capital guaranteed products (85%) and market linked products (15%). AMP’s capital guaranteed products are held within the AMP Life Statutory Fund No. 1 (SF1). Asset allocation for SF1 is struck prudently over the long term and has a bias of income over growth assets. The long-term asset mix for the Australian participating business portion of SF1 is set out on page 26.
AMP actively manages its SF1 equity exposure, including the use of derivative strategies to provide protection from equity market declines. As at 31 December 2010, AMP had in place the following derivative strategy against its A$4.8b equity portfolio:
- a long-term derivative strategy, using options and futures, that provides a variable level of protection depending on market conditions. This strategy provides market protection assuming a significant fall in markets.
During 2H 10, AMP removed tactical equity protection (mainly put options) which protected A$1.4b of equities.
Within SF1, AMP also employs strategies designed to protect against changes in bond yields. The average duration of the SF1 bond portfolios remains around six and a half years.
Controllable costs fell A$2m to A$58m in FY 10 due to the natural run-off of the book. Controllable costs to AUM was unchanged from FY 09 at 32 bps.
Return on capital
RoBUE fell to 36.7% in FY 10 from 43.4% in FY 09 as higher capital was allocated to capital guaranteed products in 2H 09.
The capital position of this business remains strong. Refer to page 36 for AMP Life Statutory Funds regulatory capital resources above MRR.
Embedded value (EV) and value of new business (VNB) - at the 3% discount margin
EV increased 13.6% in FY 10 (before transfers), driven by improvements to persistency assumptions offset by lower than expected investment returns.
VNB decreased 33% to A$14m due to lower cash inflows on ERF and the closure of RSA to new business from 1 July 2010.
Product characteristics and run-off profile
The RSA/ERF products have approximately 1.5 million customers and AUM of A$4.4b. The other mature products have around 500,000 customers and AUM of A$12.9b (mainly participating business).
The mature business remains in slow decline but will remain profitable for many years, running off between 4% and 6% per annum. In volatile investment markets, this rate of run-off can vary substantially.
The run-off of AUM mirrors policy liabilities, although there is potential for profit margins to be impacted differently.
The run-off of mature AUM is anticipated to have an average duration of approximately 15 years, but will be impacted by investment markets.

AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP Financial Services 17
New Zealand cont’d
Business overview
AFS NZ is principally focused on selling risk insurance business along with growing its wealth management operations. Its key priority is to increase shareholder value by:
-
enhancing products and services to customers
-
building strong distribution relationships
-
proactively preparing for regulatory change
-
investing in its people, and
-
maximising cost efficiency.
Operating earnings
Operating earnings increased A$4m (7%) to A$58m in FY 10 in what continues to be a challenging business environment. The increase in earnings reflects improved experience and tight cost control, partially offset by lower profit margins.
Profit margins decreased A$7m (11%) to A$58m, due in part to an increase in lapse rate assumptions on risk products at the end of FY 09 and a A$3m impact from a lower general insurance distribution profit sharing arrangement following the Christchurch earthquake in 2H 10.
The improvement in experience profits (+A$11m) reflects lower lapse rates in FY 10 and the recognition of a reduction in deferred tax (A$6m) arising from the change in the New Zealand corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% announced in the May 2010 Budget.
Return on capital
RoBUE increased to 22.2% in FY 10, reflecting higher operating earnings from improved experience.
Embedded value (EV) and value of new business (VNB) - at the 3% discount margin
EV increased 4.3% to A$650m (before transfers). In NZ dollar terms, EV increased 10.8% to NZ$853m. EV benefited from a change in methodology (A$31m) in 2H 10 to recognise recurring contributions on wealth management products, but was impacted by increasing long-term lapse rate assumptions on the risk term business.
VNB decreased A$8m to A$8m in FY 10, driven by lower volumes, loss of transitional tax relief on 2H 10 term business and a change in methodology (A$2m) to recognise recurring contributions on wealth management products.
Advisers
In FY 10, total aligned intermediaries in AFS NZ decreased by 39 to 322. The decrease was primarily due to the changing and challenging regulatory and operating environment and the rationalisation of less successful advisers as AFS NZ focuses on strengthening the quality of its distribution network.
The New Zealand Financial Advisers Act was enacted on 1 December 2010 and aims to promote the sound and efficient delivery of financial advice and improve confidence in financial advisers. AFS NZ’s program to implement the requirements of the Act is well progressed.
Controllable costs
Controllable costs fell A$4m (7%) to A$50m in FY 10. In NZ dollar terms, controllable costs declined 5%. The reduction in controllable costs resulted from disciplined cost control across the NZ business.
The cost to income ratio fell 3.7 percentage points to 34.2% in FY 10 due to the combination of higher operating earnings and lower controllable costs.
Annual premium in-force (API)
KiwiSaver
AFS NZ is continuing to position itself to achieve scale in the KiwiSaver market through a number of customer-focused initiatives. The total KiwiSaver market size in New Zealand has grown strongly from NZ$3.9b in September 2009 to NZ$6.9b in September 2010. At 31 December 2010, AFS NZ had approximately 136,000 KiwiSaver members and was ranked third, with a 12% market share (based on AUM). At 31 December 2010, KiwiSaver AUM was NZ$897m.
Individual risk API fell A$2m (2%) in FY 10. In NZ dollar terms, API increased by 4% to NZ$151m. Growth in NZ dollar terms was mainly due to age and CPI premium increases on existing policies.
Lapse rates
FY 10 lapse rates fell by 1.7 percentage points to 9.9%, as competitor price increases following the changes to the taxation of life insurance led to lower lapses for AFS NZ, along with AFS NZ repricing initiatives in 2008 having a reduced impact.
AFS NZ’s lapse rates are approximately 2 percentage points better than the New Zealand life insurance industry average.

AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP Financial Services 19
Cashflows and assets under management (AUM) cont’d
Overview
AFS net cashflows decreased from A$1,661m to A$789m over FY 10. Cash inflows increased 7% or A$889m to A$13,380m, and outflows increased 16% or A$1,761m to A$12,591m.
AMP’s reported cash inflow and outflow numbers are significantly impacted by internal movements between products. Internal flows across AMP products were A$5.2b, representing approximately 38% of total cash inflows. Internal flows are driven by increased transition to retirement activity and higher account balances at the time of transfer. Excluding the impact of internal flows, cash inflows increased by 1% and cash outflows increased by 11%. This increase was driven by higher investment markets, which lead to higher member account balances when withdrawing or transferring funds between providers.
Persistency
Excluding major internal product flows from the persistency calculations, total AFS persistency improved to 90.4% in FY 10 from 90.1% in FY 09.
For AMP’s closed retail superannuation product, Flexible Lifetime - Super, persistency remained unchanged at 91.8%.
For allocated pensions/annuities, persistency improved from 86.0% to 87.2% due to income stream payments remaining broadly stable and AUM balances increasing.
Corporate superannuation persistency remained unchanged at 93.8% in FY 10.
Retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities
As retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities flows are significantly impacted by internal movements, it is more appropriate to consider a combined result for retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities. Retail superannuation and allocated pension/annuities includes AMP’s new Flexible Super product, which was launched in May 2010 and AMP’s closed Flexible Lifetime - Super product.
Total retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities net cashflows fell 31% to A$576m.
Retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities cash inflows increased 20% to A$6.4b. Cash inflows benefited from higher investment markets, leading to higher internal and external superannuation rollovers in.
Employer and member contributions were relatively stable. Salary sacrifice contributions (included in employer contributions) were adversely impacted by changes the Federal Government have made to superannuation contribution caps.
Total retail superannuation and allocated pension/annuities external cash inflows increased from A$2.2b in FY 09 to A$2.4b in FY 10.
Retail superannuation and allocated pensions/annuities cash outflows increased 29% to A$5.8b. Cash outflows increased due to higher account balances and incremental outflows back into other AMP products as members increased transition to retirement activities.
In FY 10, 51% (FY 09 52%) of retail superannuation and allocated pension/annuity cash outflows were retained in AMP products.
AMP Flexible Super
In May 2010, AMP launched its new flexible all-in-one superannuation and retirement product, AMP Flexible Super. Since the product was launched, it has recorded cash inflows of A$1,987m and net cashflows of A$1,348m. Cash outflows (and cash inflows) of A$567m relate to movements from superannuation to pension account within the AMP Flexible Super product.
AMP Flexible Super had 21,000 customers and A$1.4b of AUM at 31 December 2010.
57% of AMP Flexible Super cash inflows were contributions to Superannuation accounts with 43% contributed to Retirement accounts. Cash inflows to Superannuation accounts are mainly sourced externally, with approximately one third of AUM invested in the Core option. Cash inflows includes A$90m of inflows relating to pre-retirement customers moving from AMP’s closed retail superannuation product (Flexible Lifetime - Super) to AMP Flexible Super - Superannuation.
43% of AMP Flexible Super cash inflows were contributions to Retirement accounts. In June 2010 AMP closed to new business its retail pension product, Flexible Lifetime - allocated pension. Therefore, when members move from accumulation to pension phase, they are now required to use a AMP Flexible Super - retirement account. 84% of pension AUM is invested in the Choice option.
Retail investment
Retail investment represents AMP's Flexible Lifetime Investments product and AMP Personalised Portfolio, a separately managed account platform which was launched in 1H 10.
Retail investment net cashflows were -A$7m in FY 10, due to higher cash outflows, partially offset by higher cash inflows. The higher cash outflows are a result of increased redemptions on AMP's Flexible Lifetime Investments product. AMP’s Personalised Portfolio contributed A$128m to retail investment net cashflows.
Corporate superannuation
Corporate superannuation net cashflows (excluding mandate wins) fell A$126m (16%) to A$686m in FY 10, driven by higher outflows, partially offset by higher inflows.
Cash inflows increased by A$149m (5%), reflecting higher employer contributions offset by lower salary sacrifice contributions. Employer contributions were A$1,658m, an increase of 5%, reflecting the resilience of the product due to Superannuation Guarantee Contributions (SGC). Salary sacrifice contributions (included in employer contributions) decreased 19% to A$244m following changes to the contribution caps announced in the 2009 Federal Budget.
Cash outflows increased 14%, as higher average investment markets resulted in higher member withdrawal balances. In corporate superannuation, 59% of outflows flowed back into AMP products, down from 61% in FY 09. Corporate superannuation mandate wins in FY 10 were A$175m.
External platforms
External platforms represent superannuation, pension and investment products on the Asgard, Macquarie and BT platforms. External platform flows are largely driven by Hillross, which primarily targets more affluent clients.
External platform net cashflows decreased by A$278m in FY 10. FY 09 cashflows included A$231m following the acquisition of Rabo Financial Advisors. Excluding the transition of funds following the acquisition of Rabo Financial Advisors, net cashflows fell A$47m, due to higher cash outflows on the Macquarie wrap product.
Mature
Mature net cash outflows increased by A$64m (5%) in FY 10. Cash inflows fell 16% (A$112m) due to lower inflows into the RSA/ERF products as a result of closing the RSA product to new business from 1 July 2010. Cash outflows fell 3% (A$48m) due to a lower run-off of the term annuities book, which was closed to new business in FY 09.
20 AMP Financial Services AMP Investor Report FY 10
Cashflows and assets under management (AUM) cont’d
New Zealand
AFS New Zealand net cashflows fell A$34m to A$201m in FY 10. Cash inflows fell by 8% to A$644m, due to lower cash inflows into investment and corporate super products. Cash outflows fell by 5% to A$443m as FY 09 included outflows from the closure of a number of investment funds. KiwiSaver net cashflows were A$215m, down A$18m on FY 09, due to higher cash outflows.
AMP Bank
In FY 10, AMP Bank’s deposit book increased by 23% to A$4.8b. The growth in deposits in FY 10 was due to improved distribution capability and improved product features. 60% of deposits are sourced from retail and 40% sourced from AMP superannuation cash deposits.
In FY 10, AMP Bank’s mortgage book increased by A$334m to A$10.1b. Mortgage growth rates have slowed considerably over the past two years, with mortgage growth dependent on available funding and securitisation markets stabilising. The securitisation
market remains dependent on participation by the Australian Office of Financial Management (AOFM). In 2010, AMP Bank completed a A$1b residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) securitisation.
Channel flows
AMP Financial Planning recorded a 15% increase in cash inflows in FY 10, whilst Hillross cash inflows were down 12%. Hillross cash inflows fell mainly due to the transition of funds following the acquisition of Rabo Financial Advisors in FY 09. Cash outflows for both AMP Financial Planning and Hillross increased as a result of higher investment markets, leading to higher member balances when withdrawing or transferring funds between products or providers.
Corporate superannuation - direct sales force net cashflows decreased 9% as a result of higher cash outflows, with outflows increasing as a result of higher average member balances. Cash inflows were stable at A$1.7b.

Embedded value increased 8.8% before transfers at the 3% discount margin to A$8,608m. Excluding the impact of changes in investment markets and bond yields, EV would have increased 10.3%.
Product changes include the repricing of significant portions of CWM business announced in May 2010, offset by premium increases to the NZ risk term business.
Unit cost increases, mainly in CWP, reflect expected short-term cost inflation above the long-term assumption. Other includes the negative impact of strengthening A$ on New Zealand EV and model changes to better align assumptions on AMP's externally administered business.
Net transfers of A$851m include capital and AFS profits, franking credits (at 70% of face value) and other value changes transferred to Group Office.

Key assumptions
The tables illustrate the sensitivity of the embedded and new business values to various economic and business variables. The sensitivities can at best be only indicative because:
-
they are not always linear or symmetrical, due to the asymmetric nature of risks facing insurance companies, including the scope for policyholders to exercise options against the company or to benefit from guarantees
-
they assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of all others; for the change in discontinuance rates, unit costs are assumed unchanged; for the 5% increase in sales (all costs variable), unit costs are assumed unchanged; for the 5% increase in sales (controllable costs fixed), unit costs are assumed to reduce because of the increase in business volumes
-
they show the average movement for the risk discount margin range, ie 4%
-
they are based on the FY 10 position, ie not “forward looking”, and make no allowance for events subsequent to 31 December 2010
The 1% increase in long-term government bond yields is assumed to be accompanied by a 0.5% increase in CPI and other associated changes in economic assumptions, bonus rates, risk discount rates and bond values. For equities, the assumed future earning rate is assumed to increase by 1% (ie the equity risk premium is unchanged).
The 5% reduction in costs is based on AFS controllable costs only, ie it excludes planner payments and investment management fees.
The 10% reduction in discontinuance rates is based on a uniform reduction in lapses in all future years (eg a 15% lapse rate changes to 13.5%).
The 10% increase in Australian equities assumes all Australian shares increase in value by 10%.
Investment fees are defined as all ongoing fees (including member fees and rebates) on investment products with explicit fees. The investment fee sensitivity assumes no corresponding reduction in funds management costs or planner payments.
- they are based on the FY 10 sales product mix.

EV assumptions
Economic assumptions
Risk discount rates are based on the yield on long-term government bonds plus a discount margin.
| Annualised 10 year Government bond yields | FY 10 | FY 09 |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | 5.6% | 5.7% |
| New Zealand | 6.0% | 6.2% |
Assumed investment returns gross of income tax (% pa) are set at risk premiums over long-term government bond rates:
| Risk premiums | FY 10 | FY 09 |
|---|---|---|
| Local equities1 | 4.1% | 4.1% |
| International equities | 2.5% | 2.5% |
| Property | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| Fixed interest | 0.5% | 0.25% |
| Cash (where significant) | (0.5%) | (0.5%) |
- 1 Includes allowance of approximately 1.1% (FY 09 1.1%) for franking credits on equity income.
For the purpose of setting future investment assumptions, the broad asset mixes assumed for participating business (A$14b) in Australia are:
| AMP Life (Australia) | FY 10 | FY 09 |
|---|---|---|
| Equities | 30% | 30% |
| Property | 11% | 11% |
| Fixed interest | 39% | 40% |
| Cash | 20% | 19% |
These asset mixes are not necessarily the same as the actual asset mix at the valuation date, as they reflect long-term future assumptions. The mixes shown are the weighted average across all Australian participating business, which is mostly in the mature business.
Annual inflation rates assumed are:
| Inflation rate | FY 10 | FY 09 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | - CPI | 2.9% | 2.8% |
| Australia | - Expenses | 3.0% | 3.0% |
| New Zealand | - CPI | 3.3% | 3.4% |
| New Zealand | - Expenses | 3.0% | 3.0% |
These inflation rates are used for indexation of premiums and benefits, where appropriate, and for expense inflation.
Operating assumptions
Future mortality and morbidity rates are based on an analysis of recent AFS experience, general industry experience and, in some cases, population experience. There have been no changes to mortality and morbidity assumptions since 31 December 2009, except for:
-
a 3% improvement for Australia and New Zealand conventional business mortality
-
a 5% increase in the mortality loss ratio for standalone group risk, reflecting poorer claims experience.
Future discontinuance rates are largely based on an analysis of recent AFS experience. The following changes have been made to discontinuance assumptions since 31 December 2009:
-
Australia - reduction in lapse rates for AMP Flexible Super and Flexible Lifetime Superannuation, Corporate Superannuation products, RSA/ERF, Mature Investment Linked and Conventional Superannuation. Lapse rates were increased for AMP Flexible Super (Retirement) and Flexible Lifetime Allocated Pension products
-
New Zealand - higher withdrawal rates on lump sum risk, a small reduction for whole of life conventional business and a reshaping of lapse rates for NZ Retail Trusts.
Maintenance unit costs are derived from 2011 budgets. Allowance is made for future inflation, but potential cost improvements arising after 2011 are ignored. Future rates of bonus for participating business were set at levels that were supportable by the assets backing the respective product sub-funds as at 31 December 2010.
Acquisition costs for VNB are the actual costs incurred in FY 10.
Franking credits are valued at 70% of face value.
Assumptions make no allowance for changes to the existing tax and regulatory framework:
-
Australian tax and superannuation reviews/inquiries (note: New Zealand life risk tax changes effective 1 July 2010 were reflected at FY 09 year end, New Zealand reduction in corporate tax rate effective 1 January 2011 has been reflected in FY 10 EV), or
-
any other regulatory changes.
Further details
Assumptions are consistent with the best estimate assumptions used in calculating policy liabilities for AMP Life. A more detailed description of these assumptions and their 31 December 2010 values can be found in the notes to the 2010 AMP Limited Financial Report. As all relevant business is projected for the embedded value, the description of the assumptions in the notes applies even where that business is not valued by projection methods for profit reporting.
AMP Investor Report FY 10 AMP Capital Investors 27
AMP Capital Investors financial summary
Business overview
AMP Capital Investors (AMPCI) is a leading diversified investment management business operating in Australia and New Zealand, with growing international investment management activities, particularly in Asia. At the end of 2010, AMPCI had A$98b in assets under management (AUM).
As a result of significant investment in its business during the past two years, AMPCI today has:
-
increased AUM from external sources, representing approximately 40% of total AUM
-
increased funds sourced from international clients, particularly Asia
-
a growing investment presence in Asia to source new opportunities for AMPCI's clients
-
market-leading operating systems and processes
-
stronger talent and development programs.
Strategy
AMPCI’s strategic intent is to be a high value-add diversified investment manager focused on the Asia-Pacific region. Earnings growth is being targeted through development of AMPCI’s domestic and international distribution channels and a focus on higher margin products and investment capabilities. Expansion into Asia is an integral part of this strategy.
To drive growth, AMPCI is:
-
strengthening its core investment capabilities, including property, infrastructure and listed assets
-
moving into adjacent geographies, particularly Asia
-
using M&A and alliances selectively to accelerate delivery of the strategy.
Strengthening core capabilities
In FY 10, AMPCI:
-
successfully migrated its equities, fixed interest and Multi Asset Group (MAG) capabilities to its new operating platform
-
launched its new “Think Wide” client proposition designed to emphasise AMPCI’s broad range of investment capabilities and international footprint
-
sourced A$1.7b in new funds from international clients to further diversify its client base
-
increased external net cashflows by A$3.7b, with strong inflows into property, infrastructure and fixed interest
-
launched a new Global Listed Infrastructure Fund in partnership with Brookfield Investments of Canada
-
launched a new Infrastructure Debt Fund, which secured client commitments of €118m at first close
Moving into adjacent geographies
AMPCI’s primary growth focus is to continue expanding its investment management and distribution activities in Asia.
In FY 10, AMPCI increased its AUM sourced from Asia to 8%; with its two largest external clients based in Japan.
Japan: AMPCI now manages A$7b on behalf of its Japanese clients. Japan is an attractive market given the large savings pool and increasing desire for international investment exposure and stronger returns. AMPCI's AUM ranks in the top 10 foreign Toshin (Retail) fund managers.
In FY 10, AMPCI attracted A$1.7b in net cashflows from Japanese retail investors through its Australian bond and global REIT products.
China: Growth in China is a key part of AMPCI’s mediumterm strategy. During the year, the China Securities Regulatory Commission extended AMPCI’s QFII licence indefinitely, enabling it to continue investing in China A shares listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.
AMPCI also continued working closely with the world’s largest listed life insurer, China Life Insurance Group, exploring areas for partnership in pensions and asset management, under its joint Memorandum of Understanding and strengthened its successful QFII cooperation. In addition, China Life Insurance Group became a cornerstone investor in AMPCI's new Infrastructure Debt Fund.
Other markets: AMPCI also operates in Singapore, India, the Middle East, the UK and the US.
AMPCI’s key focus in this region is providing clients with access to real estate and infrastructure opportunities. In addition, AMPCI opened an office in New York, completing its global infrastructure capability and gaining access to the growing North American private infrastructure market.
AMPCI’s two key infrastructure funds continued to attract global investors during the year. The Asian Giants Infrastructure Fund (AGIF) secured its first UK and Japanese pension fund investors, with total commitments now at US$161m. The Strategic Infrastructure Trust of Europe (SITE) obtained A$83m of new commitments, with its total value now at A$510m, including Infrastructure's first Japanese and French pension fund investors.
Selective use of M&A and alliances
AMPCI is continuing to participate in strategic M&A and alliances to accelerate its growth strategy. In FY 10, AMPCI acquired the A$80m RBS Social Infrastructure Trust, an Australian Public Private Partnership (PPP) infrastructure fund. The fund, renamed the AMP Capital Community Infrastructure Fund, enhances AMPCI’s capability in the PPP infrastructure sector.
The Singapore Exchange-listed AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT now manages S$800m in assets.
raised A$1b in new equity and secured new investors for the AMP Shopping Centre Fund and the Australian Wholesale Office Fund and launched a A$200m medium-term note issue for the AMP Shopping Centre Fund which was heavily oversubscribed.

AMP Capital Investors financial summary cont’d
Operating earnings
AMPCI’s operating earnings decreased A$4m (4%) to A$87m in FY 10. Higher fee income, which was primarily a result of higher average AUM, was offset by higher controllable costs. Controllable costs increased 10% as a result of ongoing investment in AMPCI’s operating platform, which will enhance efficiency and enable the business to build scale, and costs associated with continued investment in Asia.
Fee income
Fee income increased A$19m (5%) in FY 10 to A$398m. Average AUM increased by 6%, resulting in AUM based management fees increasing by A$16m (6%). Performance and transaction fees increased A$7m to A$45m, while non-AUM based management fees fell A$4m.
Internal AUM based management fees increased 9% to A$144m. The increase was due to higher internal average AUM (up 7%) and higher internal AUM based management fees to AUM. Internal AUM based management fees to AUM increased by 0.6 bps to 24.2 bps.
External AUM based management fees increased A$4m (3%) to A$156m. This increase is due to higher external average AUM (up 4%). External AUM base management fees to AUM decreased 0.7 bps to 42.5 bps. During FY 10, there was a change in average asset mix from higher margin property products to lower margin fixed interest products.
Transaction fees primarily relate to alternative assets such as infrastructure, property and private debt. Transaction fees increased by A$6m to A$12m in FY 10. FY 10 transaction fees relate to an infrastructure transaction (1H 10) and debt advisory services (2H 10). 2H 10 debt advisory fees were driven by increased demand by borrowers to bring forward refinancing of debt. Despite this, transaction fees are no longer expected to be a significant contributor to fee income following changing market dynamics.
Controllable costs
Controllable costs increased by A$26m (10%) to A$281m in FY 10. Whilst employee costs increased by A$3m (2%), investment operations and other costs increased by A$16m and project costs increased by A$7m.
The increase in investment operations and other costs and project costs was as a result of higher technology costs following the introduction of new business platforms and costs associated with the ongoing investment in Asia. AMPCI’s new operating platforms allows increased volumes with little incremental cost, multicurrency applications and enhances investment risk management.
The cost to income ratio increased by 3.8 percentage points to 69.0% due to higher controllable costs. The cost to income ratio in FY 11 is expected to remain at similar levels to FY 10, due to continued expansion into Asia and investment in business platforms.
Non-AUM based management fees include property asset management, property development, property leasing fees and bond lending fees. Non-AUM based management fees decreased by A$4m to A$53m due to lower property development fees (down A$4m) and lower bond lending fees (down A$1m), partially offset by higher property management fees. Property development fees fell due to lower development activity as a result of economic conditions. In the near term, it is expected that property development activity will increase, which will be offset by lower property leasing fees due to properties currently being fully leased.
Performance fees increased by A$1m to A$33m in FY 10. FY 10 performance fees were principally derived from listed assets and infrastructure. Property performance fees remain depressed, as they have rolling absolute return hurdles.
Performance fees are an intrinsic part of a diversified funds management business. Over the medium-term, performance fees are expected to improve as AMPCI’s investment performance improves and markets return to previous levels. For property and infrastructure, it may take a number of years for higher levels of performance fees to return, as their performance benchmarks are typically a bond yield plus a margin with prior period underperformance needing to be recovered. Future performance fee rates may be impacted by the changing regulatory environment (for example, the Cooper review).

Tax expense
The AMPCI effective tax rate in FY 10 was 25.3%, which is lower than the Australian corporate tax rate (30%) due to tax concessions as a result of undertaking offshore activities and the receipt of joint venture (JV) income. Future effective tax rates will be impacted by the portion of profit generated from offshore activities relative to total profit.
Return on capital
RoBUE decreased to 45.8% in FY 10 due to higher capital and lower operating earnings. The increase in capital was driven by using retained earnings to fund repayment of seed pool debt.
Net seed pool income
The seed pool is designed to assist business growth by seeding funds with assets and by investing initial equity into new funds.
During 2H 10, AMPCI undertook a review of its funding model for the seed pool. Following this review, the seed pool will now be funded with a mixture of debt and AMPCI shareholder equity, with debt limited in accordance with AMPCI’s risk appetite.
The net seed pool result comprises funding costs, trading results and normal valuation movements. In normal market conditions, the seed pool is expected to break even. In FY 10, the seed pool recorded a loss of A$1m and there were no abnormal writedowns in the value of seed pool assets in FY 10.
AUM and cashflows
AUM increased by 3% in FY 10 to A$98.0b, due to positive net cashflows and positive investment returns.
External AUM increased by A$2.9b (8%) to A$37.8b. The increase in external AUM was driven by strong net cashflows, particularly in fixed interest, property and infrastructure.
Internal AUM was unchanged at A$60.3b, with investment returns offsetting a net cash outflow of A$2.4b. Internal net cashflows include AMP Group payments, such as dividend payments to shareholders, and inflows/outflows from AFS products, including products in run-off. Internal AUM has a higher weighting to equities.
As a result of AMPCI’s operations in Asia, the business attracted A$1.7b in net external cashflows from the region. AMPCI continues to have success in distributing Australian bonds and global REITs in the Asian region. The product base remains narrow; however, the aim is to diversify AMPCI's product range and distribution in this market over the medium term.
At 31 December 2010, the seed pool held net assets of A$63m represents a 16.1% stake in Singapore Exchange, listed AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT. The AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT's portfolio comprises 27 industrial properties, 26 of which are located throughout Singapore and one in Tokyo. The REIT’s portfolio has a total value of approximately S$800m. During 2H 10, AMP Capital Investors fully participated in the rights issue of the REIT to maintain it’s holding at 16.1%.
During FY 10, AMPCI completed the disposal of the following seed pool assets:
-
five Singapore industrial properties, which were sold to the Singapore Exchange-listed AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT
-
an investment in a New Zealand retirement village business
-
joint venture (JV) in an Australian retirement business.
Refer to the tables on page 32 for more detail on external and internal cashflows.

Capital management
At 31 December 2010, the regulatory capital resources above MRR were A$1,482m (A$1,242m at 31 December 2009). Regulatory capital resources were 2.4 times MRR (2.2 times at 31 December 2009). The regulatory capital resources above MRR will vary throughout the year due to a range of factors including investment market movements, dividend payments and statutory profits.
AMP continues to take a prudent approach to capital management and has a bias towards holding more capital rather than less until the outcome of the various regulatory capital reviews currently underway become clearer.
AMP Bank is currently discussing with APRA the appropriate capital treatment for subordinated RMBS note holdings from securitisation issues. This may result in these holdings (A$24m at FY 10) being deducted from Tier 1 capital. Regulatory capital resources at 31 December 2010 fully reflect this potential reduction. At the end of FY 10, AMP Bank held A$24m of subordinated RMBS notes.
AMP’s final 2010 dividend is 15 cents per share franked to 60%. AMP’s dividend payout ratio for FY 10 is 82% of underlying profit. AMP's policy is to pay dividends with a payout ratio in the range of 75% to 85% of underlying profit. AMP will offer a DRP, with a discount of 1.5% to participants. The DRP will not be underwritten and new shares will be issued.
MRR
The minimum regulatory capital requirement (MRR) is the amount of capital required by each of AMP’s regulated businesses to meet their capital requirements as set by the appropriate regulator.
The major requirements are:
-
AMP Life - solvency, capital adequacy and management capital requirements as specified under the APRA Life Insurance Prudential Standards
-
AMP Bank - capital requirements as specified under the APRA Banking Prudential Standards
-
AMPCI - capital requirements under its Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).
There are currently a number of regulatory capital reviews underway, which may impact AMP’s businesses:
-
APRA is in the process of developing a supervision framework for conglomerate groups, which will include conglomerate capital standards.
-
APRA is currently reviewing its capital standards for both life insurers and general insurers.
-
ASIC is currently reviewing the financial requirements imposed on responsible entities of registered managed investment scheme under the AFSL regime.
AMP Investor Report FY 10 Capital structure 37

-
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is currently introducing solvency standards for New Zealand insurance companies.
-
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is currently reviewing global banking supervision (Basel III), including global banking standards, following which APRA will revise the Australian banking standards.
These reviews are in various stages of development and industry consultation and it is too early in the process to determine what impact these changes will have on AMP’s regulatory capital position.
Target surplus
AMP’s businesses each target a level of capital equal to MRR plus a target surplus.
The AMP Life Statutory Funds’ target surplus is set by reference to a probability of breaching regulatory capital requirements. This is a
two tiered test where the target surplus is set as the greater of the amount required for a:
-
1% probability of breaching solvency over one year
-
10% probability of breaching capital adequacy over one year.
AMP Life’s capital position remained above its target level at 31 December 2010. The target surplus is a management guide to the level of excess capital that AMP Life seeks to carry. It is not a point estimate which requires automatic management action. AMP Life’s capital position relative to its target surplus can vary significantly throughout the year.
AMP Bank’s target surplus reflects an additional 0.75% of risk weighted assets above the APRA minimum requirements. AMP Capital Investors’ target surplus is set to cover the seed pool investment risk and operational risks. Group Office’s target surplus is set to cover investment risks, defined benefit fund mismatch risks and operational risks.

2 Other includes A$165m (FY 09 A$127m) of cash held backing liabilities, seed pool assets of A$63m (FY 09 A$222m) and A$254m (FY 09 A$115m) of other assets and liabilities.
Nominal versus effective exposure
The asset allocations above reflect the effective exposure of shareholder funds after consideration of the effects of derivative positions.
Management of market risks in the shareholder funds
Total shareholder funds (A$2,720m) comprise direct shareholder funds (A$2,376m) where the shareholder can determine the asset mix and co-mingled shareholder funds (A$344m) that are invested in the same asset mix as policyholder funds in AMP Life Statutory Fund 1.
The investment of the direct shareholder funds provides management with a lever for managing the overall market risk within the AMP Group. Changes are made to the asset mix of the direct shareholder funds to achieve the desired level of overall market risk exposure across the AMP Group.
The majority of the international equity exposures are not hedged for currency. Property exposures relate primarily to a 65% interest in AMP’s head office at 33 Alfred Street Sydney.
The shareholder fixed interest portfolio is split approximately 39% in sovereign exposures and 61% in corporate exposures. Corporate exposures are invested in AAA (11%), AA (40%), A (25%), BBB (22%) and sub-investment grade and unrated (2%).
Underlying investment income
AMP calculates the underlying investment income that is allocated to the business units (BUs) and Group Office, for management reporting purposes, by applying an underlying rate of return to BU and Group Office shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets (as opposed to operating assets). The underlying after tax rate of return used for FY 10 is 4.25% pa (FY 09 4.25% pa) based on the long-term target asset mix.
Underlying investment income is calculated on shareholder funds invested in income producing assets. Shareholder funds invested in income producing assets may be higher or lower than business unit capital due to the working capital requirements of the business unit.

Debt overview
Total corporate debt reduced by A$303m in FY 10 to A$886m, as a result of the repayment of a A$230m euro medium-term note maturity and a net reduction in commercial paper issuance of A$73m. Currently, the interest expense on total corporate debt is effectively split approximately 60/40 between fixed and floating rate, excluding the short-term A$200m loan to AMP Bank. At 31 December 2010, AMP had access to significant liquidity through a liquidity portfolio of approximately A$470m and undrawn bank facilities of A$500m.
AMP Bank debt
Historically, the securitisation of residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) has been a significant source of funding and capital relief for AMP Bank. Securitisation funding is non-recourse to AMP Bank and AMP Group.
AMP Bank completed a A$1b RMBS securitisation in 1H 10 and plans to complete further transactions in 2011. It is expected that securitisation markets will improve further in 2011 and this will provide a significant source of funding and capital relief for AMP Bank.
During FY 10, AMP Bank reduced NCDs and RMBS repos. AMP Group continues to provide a guarantee covering AMP Bank's liabilities.
Debt in entities controlled by AMP Life policyholder funds
This represents debt raised in various funds managed by AMPCI where AMP Life policyholders’ funds have a controlling interest. As the lenders in relation to this debt have limited recourse to the assets of the borrowing entity or fund and no recourse to AMP Group, the debt does not form part of the AMP corporate debt and is not included in S&P’s definition of debt from an AMP Group perspective.

Underlying investment income on Group Office capital was broadly stable at A$44m in FY 10.
The weighted average cost of corporate debt in FY 10 was 7.93%, compared to 7.27% in FY 09. Interest expense was A$1m higher in FY 10 as the impact of lower corporate debt was offset by a higher weighted average cost of corporate debt.
AMP Limited tax loss recognition
AMP Limited tax loss recognition relates to the gradual recoupment of carried forward tax losses. Recognition of the tax benefit is linked to overall AMP Group taxable earnings (both ordinary policyholder and shareholder) and the amount recognised is expected to move in line with the growth in taxable earnings.
The amount recognised in FY 10 was A$16m. AMP expects to recognise a benefit from recouping these tax benefits over a number of years. At 31 December 2010, the amount of carried forward tax losses to be recouped (in line with the growth in taxable earnings) was approximately A$126m.
M&A transaction costs
FY 10 M&A transaction costs were A$16m (after tax) and principally relate to the proposed merger with AXA APH and reviewing other opportunities. FY 09 M&A transaction costs were previously included in other costs and principally relate to AXA APH and Aviva.
Other items
FY 10 other items were -A$2m and principally comprise one-off and non-recurring costs offset by the benefit from the retrospective impact of changes in tax legislation.
Seed pool valuation adjustment
The seed pool assists with AMPCI business growth by funding the acquisition of assets to “seed” new funds or opportunities. The disclosure of the net seed pool result is discussed in the AMPCI section. As a result of the investment market and economic conditions in FY 08 and FY 09, there were large, abnormal writedowns in the value of seed pool assets during FY 09. There were no abnormal writedowns in FY 10.
At 31 December 2010, seed pool assets were A$63m, down from A$222m at 31 December 2009. Refer to page 30 for more details.
Market adjustment - investment income
Market adjustment - investment income represents the excess (or shortfall) between the underlying investment income and actual return on shareholder assets invested in income producing assets.
The investment income market adjustment was -A$5m in FY 10.

Timing differences
Market adjustment - annuity fair value
Market adjustment on annuities relates to the net impact of investment markets on AMP’s annuity portfolio. AMP’s annuity portfolio comprises fixed term and lifetime annuity products, with Australian fixed term liabilities of A$0.6b and Australian lifetime annuity liabilities of A$1.5b. The Australian annuity portfolio is managed on a matched basis, with fixed interest assets matched to expected annuity cash outflows. Equities are not used by AMP to match its Australian annuity book.
The assets that support AMP’s Australian annuity book comprise a mixture of government bonds, semi-government bonds and corporate bonds. These assets are principally exposed to Australian credit markets. This mix is required to achieve the matching of assets to expected cash annuity outflows. Ultimately, the matching should remove any interest rate or reinvestment risk, but credit risk remains.
Accounting standards require fixed term liabilities and the assets that back them both to be valued consistently on a fair value basis.
For lifetime annuities, accounting standards require the liabilities to be valued based on the risk-free rate of return and the assets valued on a fair value basis. Therefore, changes in credit spreads and the deterioration in the quality of individual assets can lead to timing differences.
As the assets are held to maturity, gains/losses due to changes in credit spreads or credit deterioration should reverse over time, to the extent that there are no asset defaults or restructurings.
Losses can also occur from defaults on individual assets. There were no asset defaults in FY 10.
Loan hedge revaluations
A portion of AMP’s corporate debt is denominated in foreign currency, predominantly Euro and Sterling. After taking into account hedging, AMP maintains a policy of holding 100% of its corporate debt as AUD denominated and between 40% and 60% at floating interest rates. AMP uses cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps to maintain within these policy guidelines.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, AMP is required to recognise the movements in fair value of debt, to the extent it is an effective fair value hedge relationship, and associated derivatives. This gives rise to an accounting gain or loss which will reverse over time.
Accounting mismatches
Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets held on behalf of the policyholders (and related tax balances) are included in the accounts at different values to the value used in the calculation of policy liabilities in respect of the same asset. Movements in these policyholder assets flow through to shareholder profit. These differences have no impact on the true operational profits and losses of the Group.
Mismatch items that may impact the profit and loss account arise from policyholder interests in the following:
-
treasury shares (AMP Limited shares held by the statutory funds on behalf of policyholders)
-
owner-occupied properties
-
life company statutory funds’ investments in controlled entities
-
AMP Life statutory funds’ superannuation products invested with AMP Bank.
The assets that support AMP’s annuity book comprise a mixture of government bonds and cash (1%), semi-government bonds (35%) and corporate bonds (64%). The average duration of the portfolio is five years. Corporate bond exposures are invested in AAA (33%), AA (33%), A (31%), BBB (2%) and B (1%).
Market adjustment - risk products
Market adjustment - risk products relates to the net impact of changes in market economic variables (bond yields and CPI) on the valuation of risk insurance liabilities. Under Australian accounting standards, life insurance business is accounted for using Margin on Services (MoS).
Under MoS, the profits that are expected to be earned on life insurance contracts emerge over the life of the business as services are provided and income received. MoS involves projecting future cashflows (premiums, benefits and costs after allowing for inflation), and discounting future cashflows to their present value using the appropriate risk free discount rate. Changes to market related economic assumptions affect policy liabilities and current year profit. For information on changes in market economic variables in FY 10, refer to page 26 and for MoS, refer to the Life Insurance Accounting note on AMP's website.

The profit and capital sensitivities are only indicative, because:
-
they are not always linear or symmetrical, because of the asymmetric nature of risks facing insurance companies, including the scope for policyholders to exercise options against the company or to benefit from guarantees
-
they assume that the particular variable moves independently of all others
-
they are based on the FY 10 position, ie not “forward looking”, and make no allowances for events subsequent to 31 December 2010
-
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 2010.
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
-
sales sensitivity assumes the same product mix as that in underlying sales during FY 10
-
investment income sensitivity is based on the amount of investments held as at 31 December 2010
-
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.
Important considerations when using these sensitivities
Profit sensitivities
The sensitivities set out above apply to FY 10 operating earnings and investment income, assuming the changes in a range of hypothetical economic or business variables.
Operating earnings - 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 economic 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 half way through the year. For large movements that do not occur half way 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 10 operating earnings than set out in the table above.
-
all profit sensitivities shown are a full year impact
-
property sensitivities relate to unlisted property; listed property trusts are included in equities
AMP Investor Report FY 10 Additional information 43
Sensitivities - profit and capital cont’d
The sensitivities are based on the FY 10 position and are not forward looking. If using the sensitivities as forward looking (eg applying FY 10 profit sensitivities for FY 11), an allowance for changes in AUM levels should be made.
See page 10 (CWM) and page 28 (AMPCI) for average AUM levels that applied in FY 10.
The AMPCI operating earning sensitivities assume no change to performance and transaction fees.
Operating earnings - risk insurance and annuity business
For risk insurance and annuity business, movements in economic variables (bond yields, CPI) impact to the extent that the valuation of assets and liabilities are mismatched. These impacts are included in market adjustment - annuity fair value and market adjustment - risk products and have no effect on BU operating earnings but are included in EV sensitivities.
Operating earnings - participating business
For participating business, profit margins are dependent on the
level of future bonuses supported by both the value of available assets and the assumed future investment earnings (largely driven by prevailing bond yields). As the effect of movements in investment markets is absorbed by bonuses over a number of years, only a portion of the impact is recognised in the current reporting period and is allocated between policyholders and shareholders.
Investment income
The analysis is based on a point in time and indicates the impact a change in the variable would have on AMP’s FY 10 total investment income (ie underlying investment income plus investment income market adjustment).
The cash rate sensitivities show the impact of changes in the cash rate on FY 10 total investment income. The impact assumes the change in the cash rate occurs evenly over the year.
The investment income sensitivities do not include any allowance for investment gains/losses on assets that back AMP’s annuity book (refer to page 41 for details) or the impact of changes in economic variables (bond yields, CPI) on the valuation of risk insurance liabilities.

1 These sensitivities are a point in time view and do not make any allowance for management actions.
2 AMP Group sensitivities are AMP Life Statutory Funds sensitivities plus the movement in Group shareholder capital held outside of the life statutory funds. This includes the effect on capital from AMP’s defined benefit fund and investment gains/losses on shareholder funds and seed pool assets.
AMP regulatory capital sensitivities - regulatory capital resources above MRR
The analysis is a point in time view of the capital impact of movements in equity markets, bond yields and property values on the 31 December 2010 capital position. The regulatory capital resources above MRR based on 31 December 2010 equity markets, bond yields and property values correspond to the disclosure in the capital management section (refer to page 36).
Regulatory capital requirements are met by a combination of both policyholder and shareholder assets.
Sensitivities include the profit/loss impact from changes in investment market variables on total shareholder funds. Changes in BU operating earnings are not reflected.
The property sensitivities relate to unlisted property. The impacts from movements in the value of listed property trusts are included in the equity sensitivities.
AMP actively manages both the asset mix and the associated capital. Market movements and trends are carefully monitored and adjustments made accordingly.
AMP’s capital management framework includes market related trigger points at which management will take action to reduce the impact of market movements on AMP’s capital position. The sensitivities contained in the table above do not make any allowance for these management actions, which can have a significant impact on MRR.
The capital sensitivities for AMP Life relate to the business within the AMP Life Statutory Funds. This includes guaranteed products (the majority of which are contained within the AFS mature business), risk insurance products and unit linked products.

Accounting treatment and definitions
Accounting mismatches - Refer to page 41.
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 AUM - Calculated as controllable costs divided by 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 limited recourse debt in investment entities controlled by AMP Life policy holder funds and debt used to fund AMP Bank activities. Refer to page 39 for more detail.
Cost to income ratio - Calculated as controllable costs divided by gross margin. Gross margin is calculated as total operating earnings and underlying investment income before income tax plus controllable costs. An income tax rate of 30% has been used to gross up the AFS numbers.
Discontinuance rates - The assumed future rates for voluntary discontinuance (lapse) of contracts for the purposes of determining the embedded value. These rates vary by individual product or product groups and, where appropriate, by other factors such as duration in-force or age attained.
Dividend payout ratio - Calculated as dividend per share divided by EPS (underlying).
Embedded value - A calculation of the economic value of the shareholder capital in the business and the profits expected to emerge from the business in-force.
Employee defined benefit scheme - A scheme that provides a retirement benefit, usually based on salary and/or a pre determined formula for calculating that benefit. Unlike an accumulation scheme, the retirement benefit and method of calculation is known to the member at all times.
EPS (actual) - Calculated as net profit attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited divided by the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares. The weighted average number of ordinary shares has been adjusted to remove treasury shares.
EPS (underlying) - Calculated as underlying profit divided by the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares.
External AUM (AMPCI) - Assets managed by AMPCI, 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.
Full-time equivalent (FTE) - A measure of the total level of staff resources used. The FTE of a full-time staff member is equal to 1.0. The calculation of FTE for part-time staff is based on the proportion of time worked compared to that worked by full-time staff.
Group risk API - Contractual annual premium payable on all in-force group risk policies.
Individual risk API - Contractual annual premium payable on all in-force individual risk policies.
Intangibles - Represents acquired goodwill, acquired asset management mandates and capitalised costs.

Net seed pool income (AMPCI) - Income on seed pool assets, including normal valuation movements and net profit/loss on sales, offset by funding costs.
Operating earnings - Represent shareholder attributable profits or losses that relate to the performance of the BU. The principles of life insurance accounting are used in reporting the results of AFS. Operating earnings exclude investment earnings on shareholder capital and one-off items.
Persistency - Calculated as opening AUM less outflows during the period divided by opening AUM. AFS AUM numbers are adjusted to exclude shareholder amounts so as to reflect product AUM levels. AFS and CWM outflows are adjusted to exclude major internal flows so as to reflect external outflows only.
Return on embedded value - Calculated as the increase in embedded value in the period before transfers, divided by embedded value at the beginning of the period.
RoBUE - Return on BU equity is calculated as BU underlying operating profit after income tax (including underlying investment income) over the BU’s average monthly tangible capital resources. No allowance is made for the benefit of gearing, which occurs at Group level.
RoE (actual) - Calculated as annualised net profit attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited divided by average of monthly average shareholder equity for the period.
RoE (underlying) - Calculated as annualised underlying profit divided by average of monthly average shareholder equity for the period.
Individual risk lapse rate - Calculated as annualised voluntary cancellations as a percentage of average annual premium in-force prior to cancellations. Policies expiring due to maturities, death or disablement are excluded from the calculation.

It is divided into:
(a) Upper Tier 2 capital - Comprising components of capital that are essentially permanent in nature, including some forms of hybrid capital instrument, and
- (b) Lower Tier 2 capital - Comprising components of capital that are not permanent, ie dated or limited life instruments.

Underlying investment income - The investment income on
shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets (as opposed to income producing operating assets) attributed to the BUs (including Group Office) has been normalised in order to bring greater clarity to the results by eliminating the impact of short-term market volatility on underlying performance. The excess (or shortfall) between the underlying return and the actual return is disclosed separately as market adjustment - investment income. Underlying returns are set based on long-term expected returns for each asset class. The return on AMP Bank income producing investment assets is included in contemporary wealth management operating earnings.
Underlying profit - AMP’s key measure of business profitability, as it smooths investment market volatility stemming from shareholder assets invested in investment markets and aims to reflect the trends in the underlying business performance of the AMP Group.
The components of underlying profit are listed on page 3.
Value of new business - A calculation of the economic value of the profits expected to emerge from the new business written over a particular period, net of the cost of providing supporting capital.
Value of risk new business - Value of new business for contemporary wealth protection and AFS New Zealand risk business.

Independent review statement
Independent review report of selected information contained in the AMP Limited Investor Report for the full year ended 31 December 2010
To management of AMP Limited
The Investor Report and management’s responsibility
The management of AMP Limited is responsible for the Investor Report including pages 26 and 48.
Embedded value
Scope
We have conducted an independent review of the embedded value assumptions set out on page 26 of the Investor Report of AMP Limited (“the Investor Report”) for the full year ended 31 December 2010 in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the embedded value assumptions as stated on page 26 are not reasonable for their intended purpose.
We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this review report to any person other than management of AMP Limited.
Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. Our review was limited primarily to review of AMP Limited’s documentation to support the embedded value assumptions, inquiries of AMP Limited’s personnel and analytical procedures applied to the financial data. These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Statement
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the embedded value assumptions as stated on page 26 of the Investor Report for the full year ended 31 December 2010 are not reasonable for their intended purpose.
Analysis of operating results
Scope
We have conducted an independent review of the results (“financial information”) set out on page 48 of the Investor Report of AMP Limited for the full year ended 31 December 2010. We have performed the review of the financial information set out on page 48 of the Investor Report in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the financial results on page 48 of the Investor Report are not materially consistent with the definitions of operating earnings, underlying investment income and total capital resources set out on pages 44 and 45. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this review report to any person other than management of AMP Limited.
Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. Our review was limited primarily to review of the reconciliation of financial information to the Financial Report of AMP Limited, review of the determination of the operating earnings, underlying investment income and total capital resources in accordance with the definitions set out on pages 44 and 45, inquiries of AMP Limited’s personnel and analytical procedures applied to the financial data. These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Statement
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial results set out on page 48 of the Investor Report for the full year ended 31 December 2010 are not materially consistent with the definitions of operating earnings, underlying investment income and total capital resources as set out on pages 44 and 45.
