AMP (AMP) Everything is awesome
AMP (AMP) Everything is awesome. The all-important net-flows on AMP Platforms closed the year with $3.4 billion in flows vs our $3.5 billion estimate. Underlying ROE up two percentage points to 12.7%; Excess capital at $2 billion. Controllable costs tightly managed; cost to income ratio down 4.6 percentage points to 44.8%. This is a good result with broad growth across the business, the Life Company continuing to show improvement (lapse rates and claims tracking better than or as expected) and with net-flows and closing FUA/FUM largely in line with our expectation. And all this comes before accounting for the recent market rally, with the ASX200 up over 9% since the end of December.
