AMP Limited provides Q1 21 AUM and cashflows update
-
Australian wealth management (AWM) assets under management (AUM) increased A$1.6 billion to A$125.7 billion during Q1 21, reflecting improved investment markets.
-
AWM net cash outflows of A$1.5 billion in Q1 21 (Q1 20: A$1.7 billion), includes A$448 million in regular pension payments to clients.
-
AMP Bank total loan book increased by A$0.2 billion to A$20.8 billion, driven by growth in owneroccupied loans in a highly competitive market.
-
AMP Capital AUM reduced 1.7 per cent to A$186.5 billion (Q4 20: A$189.8 billion), primarily reflecting net cash outflows during the quarter from public markets, sale of the Global Companies capability and share of listed NZ REIT Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited.
-
AMP Capital external net cash outflows of A$1.3 billion in Q1 21, driven primarily by fixed income outflows as well as planned divestments of assets in infrastructure equity closed-end funds. The divestments, reflected in cash outflows, delivered strong performance outcomes for clients.
AMP Chief Executive Francesco De Ferrari said:
“Business performance remained resilient during the first quarter as we continued to make progress on delivery of our transformation strategy to become a simpler, client-led business.
“In Australian wealth management our cashflows are showing underlying signs of improvement, with a reduction in outflows from corporate super mandates and a reduced impact from Protecting Your Super legislation. The increase to our assets under management in our wealth management business reflects continued improvement in investment markets in Q1. We supported clients through the period with A$448 million in pension payments, which are reflected in cash outflows.
“We saw an encouraging performance in AMP Bank, performing solidly in a highly competitive market with sustained loan book growth. It’s also pleasing to see clients impacted by COVID-19 are getting back on their feet with all home loan pauses now lifted.
“We continue to improve the capabilities of North to support both AMP aligned and external financial advisers in servicing their clients and to ensure it continues to be a leading platform.
“Our teams in AMP Capital have remained focused on delivering for clients, with continued deployment of capital in our infrastructure funds.
“We are accelerating change within AMP, having made strong progress on addressing our legacy issues, including our client remediation program, which is close to 90 per cent complete. We remain focused on delivering critical priorities to progress our transformation over the next quarter and continue positioning the business for future growth.”
