AMP CEO Alexis George said: “Completion of the sale of the remaining AMP Capital business will mark the delivery of a key pillar of our strategy to simplify AMP.
“The sale allows AMP to have a clear focus on our go forward businesses of retail banking and wealth management in Australia and New Zealand.
“We will continue to build on the hard work of the past 12 months to position AMP to win in those markets, deliver for customers and drive value for shareholders.”
