AMP Capital launches Adviser Resource Centre



AMP Capital has launched an online resource centre to help financial advisers engage their clients in more meaningful investment conversations and facilitate the adviser's role as an educator.
The adviser resource centre on AMP Capital's website gives financial advisers access to educational material covering investment concepts and themes from basic asset classes through to long-term investing, navigating volatility, risk and asset allocation.
The company said the initiative had been developed in conjunction with advisers who were consulted about the content and functionality of the site. The resource centre will present topics in different formats to suit the needs of financial advisers as well as varying levels of client sophistication.
AMP Capital head of retail and corporate business, Craig Keary, said the industry was changing and the financial adviser's value proposition has been redefined.
AMP Capital said it would continue to seek adviser input on future topics and themes to ensure all updates were aligned with issues being raised in client meetings.
