The proposed deal between AMP and AXA Asia Pacific could see AMP as the dominant force in the financial planning marketplace, with the number of AMP-aligned planners doubling to 4,000 across Australia and New Zealand.

AMP chief executive Craig Dunn said the strength of both companies would create a new force in Australia and New Zealand, with financial advice at its heart.
