Capital Management

  • AMP remains strongly capitalised, with A$898m in surplus capital above MRR at 31 December 2008 (before AMP Notes Offer), reflecting disciplined and dynamic capital management approach

  • Proactive management of both capital and funding requirements have enhanced AMP’s financial strength, despite ongoing volatility

  • Raised A$559m in equity in Nov/Dec through over-subscribed institutional and retail raisings

  • Raised A$350m in senior debt in May, as part of ongoing program of refinancing corporate debt maturities well ahead of time

  • Range of other capital management initiatives to limit market impacts on capital requirements

  • Final dividend reduced to 16 cps (previous interim dividend was 22 cps) and DRP 30% underwritten (raises approximately A$100m)

  • Target dividend payout ratio likely to be in range of 75%-85% of underlying profits going forward

  • Strong bias remains toward having more capital rather than less in the current environment
