AMP Limited Q3 20 AUM and cashflows update

  • Australian wealth management (AWM) assets under management (AUM) increased 0.3 per cent to A$121.4 billion (Q2 20: A$121.0 billion) supported by improved investment markets. Average Q3 AUM increased 2 per cent to A$122.1 billion (Q2 20: A$120.0 billion).

  • AWM net cash outflows of A$1.95 billion were broadly flat (Q3 19: A$1.94 billion), with signs of underlying improvement after adjusting for A$692 million of early release of super payments.

  • North platform growth continued, delivering A$818 million in net cash inflows, including A$196 million from external financial advisers.

  • AMP Capital AUM reduced by 0.4 per cent to A$189.2 billion reflecting cash outflows, and average AUM decreased to A$189.8 billion (Q2 20: A$191.9 billion).

  • AMP Capital experienced net external cash outflows of A$1.1 billion, primarily due to redemptions from public markets products.

  • AMP Bank deposits increased A$52 million to A$17.0 billion and total loan book decreased A$303 million to A$20.6 billion reflecting highly competitive market conditions and economic impact of COVID-19.

  • Portfolio review progressing in parallel with transformation strategy; on-market share buyback remains on hold during the portfolio review.

AMP Chief Executive Francesco De Ferrari said:

“Our business has performed resiliently through the challenges of COVID-19 and a period of internal change in the third quarter. Our people have continued to face into the disruption, remaining focused on supporting our clients through programs such as the early release of super, and by providing financial advice to those who need it.

“Assets under management have increased slightly in our wealth management businesses in Australia and New Zealand and were resilient in AMP Capital. AMP Bank continues to adapt in a challenging market environment as we complete the renovation of our core systems to enable future growth.

“As we move into the second year of our three-year strategy, we are accelerating our business transformation, and continuing to mitigate our legacy issues including our client remediation program which remains on track to complete in 2021. Our portfolio review, announced in this quarter, is progressing in parallel and being managed without delay to our transformation.”
