Management commentary on the results
AMP Chief Executive Alexis George said the business continues to pivot towards growth.
"We are building on the strong cashflow momentum in our wealth businesses, while maintaining disciplined growth in bank lending as we expand our new digital offer AMP Bank GO."
"Our cashflows trends are particularly encouraging, reflecting greater North flows from existing and new advisers, and improvements in flows for the S&I business. These positive cashflows, together with favourable market movements, have driven an increase in AUM to $153.9 billion," George said.
"Our investments in our partnerships are delivering value, and we remain focused on maximising their contributions as they grow in their respective markets. We are managing controllable costs in line with guidance, with momentum into the second half of the year."
