AMP launches SuperConcepts
AMP has changed the name and operating structure of its self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) business to SuperConcepts.
SuperConcepts incorporates the range of services the business now offers including self-managed super fund (SMSF) administration, education, and software services.
Existing brands AMP SMSF Solutions, Ascend, Cavendish, Justsuper, Multiport, SuperIQ, SuperMate, and yourSMSF will operate as sub-brands of SuperConcepts.
AMP SMSF managing director, Natasha Fenech, will continue to lead the business, but now as chief executive of SuperConcepts.

SuperConcepts will be supported by its own board with Rich Grellman AM as chairman. Grellman has 30 years of financial services experience at KPMG and has had a number of roles as chairman and non-executive director of several public companies, including Crowe Horwath.
Other board appointees include SuperIQ former chief executive, Andrew Bloore, AMP chief innovation officer, Jonathan Deane, McPherson Super consulting director and consultant, Stuart Forsyth, AMP chief customer officer, Paul Sainsbury, and Fenech.
