AMP Life Insurance and Income Protection
AMP is one of Australia’s oldest life insurance companies with a history in financial security that stretches back to 1849. Originally founded as a non-profit life insurer under the name Australian Mutual Provident Society, AMP has grown to become a publicly listed company on the stock exchange. 160 years on, AMP has since diversified its portfolio to include financial planning, select banking accounts, superannuation products for both individuals and businesses, and disability and income protection.
In 2011, AMP merged with AXA to bring together two of Australia’s oldest and largest life insurers and to further its competitive growth strategy. The $14 billion merger saw AMP become the biggest provider of retail super, managed funds and life insurance. As of 2013, AMP has over 5 million retail customers and 400 institutional clients across both Australia and New Zealand, also has a customer base spread out all around the world.
