News about AMP
As per recent news (July 2023), over the previous quarter, AMP has implemented an annual strategic asset allocation review. This review has resulted in the introduction of NZ Corporate Bonds to more income-focused diversified funds.
AMP believes that this will benefit the more conservative portfolios as it offers greater diversification within their fixed interest allocations and takes advantage of the improved yields in the market. As part of their review, AMP has also increased their allocation to US and NZ inflation-linked bonds in their diversified funds while decreasing their exposure to cash.
