AMP launches Advantage Funds range


AMP has launched the Advantage Funds range across its wrap platforms including MyNorth, North, Summit, iAccess, PortfolioCare and WealthView.
According to AMP, the new funds would provide advisers and their clients with an access to greater breadth of wholesale managed funds at lower ongoing management fees.
The Advantage Funds range would be available to new and existing super, pension and investments clients and included 31 funds across Australian and global equities, fixed interest, property and infrastructure as well as alternative investments.
They would also include wholesale funds from a range of respected fund managers and would offer discounted ongoing management fees compared with the underlying wholesale funds.
AMP’s head of product management, David Clark said: “We’ve been able to take advantage of AMP’s scale and partnerships with leading fund managers to provide the funds at comparatively lower ongoing management fees, thereby supporting investment returns.
“The range is part of AMP’s broader commitment to offer high-quality platform and investment solutions to help customers achieve their investment and retirement goals,” he said.
AMP’s North platforms received net cashflows of $5.7 billion in 2017, with assets under management growing to $35 billion, the firm said.
