AMP is still considering future alliances with banks, acting chairman Stan Wallis has told yes-terday’s Business Sunday programe.
Wallis says AMP has a platform for international growth and expansion but says AMP is an at-tractive proposition to the banks given its "tremendous" position in the Australian marketplace and overseas.
Asked if he ruled out an alliance with a bank, Wallis said: "We'll talk to any player in the finan-cial system where there's some potential synergy or value. That's going on all the time, quite frankly."
Despite the offers from other groups, he says AMP believes it can go it alone.
"You're dealing in the AMP now with a funds manager with assets of nearly $300 billion. I mean, it's an enormous achievement for an Australian company," Wallis said.
