Superannuation and retirement incomes have been revealed as sitting front and centre of AMP Limited’s strategy, following its announcement today of a much-improved full-year profit of $848 million.
Outlining its strategy and prospects, the big financial group said a key priority would be growing in the $3.3 trillion Australian wealth management market, where AMP holds the number one market share position in superannuation, advice and self-managed superannuation funds (SMSF) and the number two position with respect to retirement incomes.
The company said it was targeting additional revenue equivalent to two per cent of assets under management (AUM) fees from its advice and SMSF businesses.
The company said it was also looking to expand internationally, primarily through AMP Capital in high growth regions where its expertise and capabilities are in demand.
Introducing reforms for strengthening simpler and faster claims handling and better servicing for First Nations members are critical priorities, according to the Super Members Council.
The Commonwealth Bank has warned that uncapped superannuation concessions may be “unsustainable” and has called for the introduction of a superannuation cap.
Superannuation funds have posted another year of strong returns, but this time, the gains weren’t powered solely by Silicon Valley.
Australia’s $4.1 trillion superannuation system is doing more than funding retirements – it’s quietly fuelling the nation’s productivity, lifting GDP, and adding thousands to workers’ pay packets, according to new analysis from the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).
