AMP Chief Executive Blair Vernon said:
“Accelerating organic growth in our wealth businesses is one of my top priorities. The continued improvement in cashflows across Platforms and Superannuation & Investments demonstrates the momentum that we have.
“In Platforms, we are seeing the benefit of the new adviser relationships we have built over the past 12 to 24 months, with another strong quarter for cashflows. We have delivered another market leading feature with our new North Interactive Wealth Portal, which is already receiving positive feedback from advisers. It follows the latest NMG Adviser Study, rating North the number one Platform across a number of key categories, including Adviser proposition and Retirement. We will continue to build on this by connecting with more new advisers, and deepening our strong existing adviser relationships.
“In Superannuation & Investments, we launched a new small and medium business employer super solution, designed to support employers and their employees, making it easier to connect AMP Super directly into the HR and payroll platforms they are already using. This is another initiative to help address member retention and acquisition, supporting a continued improvement in outflows. In our New Zealand business, cashflows were reflective of the current market uncertainty, however we see a growing opportunity to target the retirement segment there, leveraging our retirement expertise and experience from Australia. In China, AUM saw continued strong growth, supported by favourable demographics and a compelling market opportunity.
“While AUM in our wealth businesses has been impacted by recent market movements, and cost of living pressures are weighing on client sentiment, the fundamental tailwinds in the sector remain strong.
“AMP Bank GO continues to scale, with strong deposit growth in the period, driven by the Qantas Frequent Flyer offer on transaction accounts, and competitive GO Save rates. We are focused on achieving an appropriate mix of transaction and savings accounts, as part of our strategy to diversify our bank funding. We continue to manage margins in AMP Bank, with the loan book steady at $24.1 billion. As I have outlined, in the shorter-term we are looking at opportunities for capital relief transactions, targeted at reducing the amount of capital that the bank consumes, and we will continue pursuing this through the first half of 2026 as markets allow.
“I’m pleased that our $150 million share buyback is now commencing, demonstrating our commitment to returning surplus capital to our shareholders.”
