Glossary
AMP was founded on a simple yet bold idea
– that every individual should have the power and ability to control his or her life.
For more than 160 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to making this possible.
And while we’ve grown and changed over the decades, one thing has remained
the same – our unwavering sense of purpose to help people own tomorrow.
Chairman’s foreword
Welcome to AMP’s
2013 annual report
AMP generated good growth across
most of its businesses in 2013. However
profi tability was pulled back by poor
results in our life insurance business.
The board believes that the best
response both to these challenges
and to drive stronger growth across
the organisation is to re-orient AMP to
be a more customer centric and effi cient
business. It will require a deep cultural
shift and very signifi cant changes to
the way we do business.
We are also continuing to invest in
areas with strong potential for profi table
growth, including the SMSF business,
the adviser network, the North platform,
AMP Bank and expanding AMP Capital
in selected markets offshore. We will
continue to maintain a sharp cost and
capital focus.
On 1 January 2014, we welcomed Craig
Meller to the board as he took on the
position of Chief Executive Offi cer (CEO).
Craig Meller has been with AMP since
2001 and is well placed to guide AMP
through the next phase of its evolution.
On behalf of the board I would like to
thank Craig Dunn for his exceptional
leadership during his time as CEO. Craig
retired from AMP at the end of 2013,
following six years as CEO and 13 years
with the company, during which time
he led AMP with distinction through
the global fi nancial crisis and extensive
regulatory change and delivered one of
Australia’s largest and most successful
fi nancial services integrations.
In accordance with AMP’s board
tenure guidelines, and with the
smooth transition to new CEO Craig
Meller bedded down, I have decided
to retire from the board at the annual
general meeting (AGM) in May. I have
had the honour of being a director
of AMP for more than 10 years, and
chairman for more than eight years.
It has been a privilege to serve the
shareholders of this company over
that time.
In line with our succession planning,
Simon McKeon will become chairman
of the AMP Limited Board when I retire.
Simon joined AMP in March 2013 and
we continue to work closely together
to ensure a smooth handover.
We have also appointed a new
director with outstanding life insurance
experience, Trevor Matthews, to the
board. Shareholders will have
an opportunity to vote on his
appointment at the AGM.
Rick Allert has also announced his
intention to retire as a director of AMP,
effective from the end of the AGM.
Rick has played an integral role in the
smooth integration of the AMP and
AXA businesses and his invaluable
contribution is greatly appreciated.
Your board has declared a fi nal
dividend of 11.5 cents a share, which
will be 70 per cent franked and will
be paid on 10 April 2014. This is a
fi nal payout ratio of 80 per cent of
the 2013 underlying profi t, which is
at the top of AMP’s target payout
range of between 70 per cent and
80 per cent of underlying profi t.
Dividend reinvestment plan (DRP)
shares will be bought on market, so
as not to dilute the value of existing
shares and there will be no discount
for DRP shares for this dividend.
AMP’s capital position remains strong,
with $2.1 billion in regulatory capital
resources held above minimum
requirements.
The strength of our capital position,
along with the success of the merger
with AXA, means we have the size and
fl exibility to re-orient the organisation
to better meet customer needs, in
a way that creates value for our
customers and shareholders.
‘We have the size and flexibility
to re-orient the organisation to
better meet customer needs.’

Dividend
The fi nal dividend of 11.5 cents per
share will be paid on 10 April 2014.
The fi nal dividend will be 70 per
cent franked and brings the total
dividend for 2013 to 23 cents
per share.
The payout ratio for the full
2013 dividend is 80 per cent
of the 2013 underlying profi t,
which is at the top of AMP’s
target payout range of 70–80
per cent of underlying profi t.
Profit
Profi t attributable to shareholders was $672 million for 2013, compared
with $689 million in 2012, down 2.5 per cent.
Underlying profi t was $849 million for 2013, compared with $950 million
in 2012, down 11 per cent.
Underlying profi t is AMP’s preferred measure of profi tability as it best refl ects
the underlying performance of AMP. It is the earnings base on which the board
determines the dividend payment.
The main difference between the two numbers comes from AXA merger and
business effi ciency program costs.
A reconciliation of profi t attributable to shareholders and underlying profi t
can be found on pages 9 and 62.

Differences between underlying profi t and statutory profi t
The 31 December 2013 underlying profi t of $849 million
excludes the impact (net of any tax effect) of:
–
investment income and annuity market value adjustments
gains of $29 million
risk product market adjustment losses of $5 million
AXA integration costs of $57 million
business effi ciency program costs of $39 million
net costs from other one-off and non-recurring items
of $2 million
amortisation of AXA acquired intangible assets of
$91 million, and
accounting mismatch losses of $12 million.

A reconciliation between underlying profi t and statutory
profi t is provided in note 3 of the fi nancial report.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets held on
behalf of policyholders (and related tax balances) are recognised
in the fi nancial report at different values to the values used
in the calculation of the liability to policyholders in respect of
the same assets. Therefore, movements in these policyholder
assets result in accounting mismatches which impact profi t
attributable to shareholders.
The impact of accounting mismatches on profi t after tax is

Basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2013
on a statutory basis was 23.2 cents per share (2012: 24.2 cents
per share1).
Underlying profi t is the basis on which the board determines
the dividend payment and refl ects the business segment
performance of AMP. It is AMP’s preferred measure of
profi tability as it removes merger related costs and some of
the impact of investment market volatility. AMP’s underlying
profi t for the year ended 31 December 2013 was $849 million
(2012: $950 million1). On an underlying basis, earnings were
28.8 cents per share (2012: 32.9 cents per share1).
AMP’s key performance measures were as follows:
–
underlying profi t of $849 million was down 11 per cent
on 2012, refl ecting lower Australian wealth protection
profi ts and lower underlying investment income, partially
offsetting growth from AUM driven business and banking
the cost to income ratio of 49.4 per cent was up 2.1 per cent
on 2012; reductions in controllable costs of 2.6 per cent on
2012 were more than offset by lower income
growth measures:
–
AMP Financial Services had net cashfl ows of
$1,319 million, up from net cashfl ows of $308 million
in 2012
AMP Capital external net cash outfl ows were
$1,039 million, which represents an improvement
from a net cash outfl ow of $1,784 million in 2012
AMP Financial Services value of risk new business
declined 43 per cent on 2012 to $116 million
underlying return on equity decreased 2 percentage
points to 10.7 per cent in 2013 from 2012, refl ecting lower
Australian wealth protection profi ts, lower underlying
investment income and higher capital held.

The operating results of each of the business segments for 2013
were as follows:
–
Wealth Management – Operating earnings increased by
$45 million (16 per cent) to $330 million in 2013 from
$285 million in 2012. The increase in operating earnings
was due to stronger net cashfl ows and improved investment
markets leading to a 14 per cent growth in average AUM,
higher member fees from increased customer numbers, less
small account rebates as customer balances have risen, and
continued cost reduction, including the realisation of merger
related cost synergies.
AMP Bank – Operating earnings increased by $21 million
(34 per cent) to $83 million in 2013 from $62 million in
2012, driven mainly by higher net interest margins and
mortgage book growth.
Wealth Protection – Operating earnings decreased by
$126 million (66 per cent) to $64 million in 2013 from
$190 million in 2012 due to worsening insurance claims
and lapse experience.
Mature – Operating earnings increased by $11 million
(7 per cent) to $178 million in 2013 from $167 million in
2012. Operating earnings benefi ted from higher investment
markets ($16 million) and lower controllable costs
($10 million). These were partially offset by an expected
run-off in the portfolio ($11 million) and lower experience
profi ts ($4 million).
NZ – Operating earnings increased by $24 million (33 per
cent) to $97 million in 2013 from $73 million in 2012, as
a result of strong growth in profi t margins, a signifi cant
improvement in experience and favourable exchange rates.

–
AMP Capital – Operating earnings including minority
interests increased by $3 million (3 per cent) to $117 million
in 2013 from $114 million in 2012. AMP Capital’s operating
earnings increased as a result of growth in revenues driven
by strong market performance and a continued focus on
cost effi ciency.
Strategies and prospects1,2
AMP’s increased size and scale as a result of its merger with
AXA mean the company is well placed to capitalise on market
developments and changes in consumer behaviour through
investment in growth areas and continuing focus on cost
effi ciency.
During the year, AMP announced a strategic intent to better
deliver on its promise to help people own tomorrow. The company
will pursue four strategic priorities to achieve this, being:
1. Prioritise investments in the $2.2 trillion3 Australian wealth
management market.
AMP is committed to leveraging its current leading positions
in a market that is projected to double by 20224. AMP’s leading
positions include:
–
No. 1 in retail superannuation and pensions with
19.2 per cent market share5.
No. 1 in individual risk insurance with 18.4 per cent
market share5.
No. 1 in fi nancial advice with 19.7 per cent market share6.
–
–
2. Transform the core Australian business to be more relevant
to customers.
AMP has embarked on a program to increase the scale and
pace of change in its Australian business to better respond to
changing customer demands. Both customers and shareholders
will be benefi ciaries of this reshaping of the Australian business.
The company is investing signifi cantly in its ability to better
understand and anticipate customer needs, with the aim of
ensuring that the products and services it takes to market are
highly targeted and lead to an increased share-of-wallet and
enduring customer loyalty.
AMP’s approach to transforming the Australian business is
to segment customers by life stage and, using new analytical
capabilities, digital channels and advice propositions, determine
the best products and services for each segment, and bring
them to market quickly via a leaner, more agile operating model.
In 2013, the company began to invest in the following
transformation initiatives:
–
a simplifi ed management, organisation and governance
structure
the fi rst phase of a mobile platform, including mobile apps
for iOS and Android, the Evolve app to simplify the advice
process, development of a tablet app for 2014 and improved
online transactional capabilities
advice prototypes to broaden the way advice is delivered to
customers, including a new Hillross branded advice model
multi-asset fund consolidation, and
re-engineering its wealth protection solutions.
–
–
–
–
In addition to investing in transforming the Australian business,
AMP continues to invest in other areas with strong potential
for profi table growth, including its SMSF business, the adviser
network, the North platform and AMP Bank.
3. Reduce costs by investing in initiatives that matter
most to customers and will deliver profi table growth.
In 2013, AMP put in place a three-year business effi ciency
program to redirect investment to areas most important
to its customers, and to reduce the cost base. The company
expects the program to deliver $200 million in pre-tax
recurring run cost savings by the end of 2016 for a one-
off investment of $320 million pre-tax over three years.
The recurring cost savings are estimated to be 80 per cent
controllable and 20 per cent variable.
–
To deliver the targeted savings, initiatives underway included:
a supply chain review, including a review of the asset
–
management supply chain
redesign of some of the non-customer facing function
to drive effi ciency
automation and outsourcing offi ce processes, and
activities to improve, modernise and reduce the cost
of core IT infrastructure.
–
–
The 2014 underlying controllable costs are expected to remain
close to 2013 actuals. This is due to a signifi cant reduction
in costs from the business effi ciency program offsetting
underlying costs growth. Total controllable costs for 2014
are expected to increase by around 1.5 per cent from 2013
due to a change in government policy restricting research
and development credits and anticipated adverse NZ foreign
exchange rate movements. Any outperformance in cost
savings from the business effi ciency program are likely to
be directed to further investment in customer and growth
initiatives.
4. Invest selectively in Asia and internationally through
AMP Capital.
A core part of AMP’s strategy is to invest selectively in Asia
and more broadly through AMP Capital. The company is doing
this through strong distribution partnerships in China and
Japan, broadening the global pension fund client base and
strengthening its capabilities in property and infrastructure.
At 31 December 2013, AMP Capital’s business alliance with
MUTB has three retail funds and two institutional funds in the
market with AUM of $576 million. In addition, the Infrastructure
Debt Fund No. II attracted commitments from 29 Japanese
institutional clients through exclusive distribution under the
alliance in Japan.
In 2013, AMP Capital established a joint venture funds
management company in China with China Life Asset
Management Company, called China Life AMP Asset
Management Company Ltd. In January 2014, the China Life
AMP Money Market Fund raised $2.2 billion during its initial
public offer period.
AMP Capital’s strength in infrastructure and property is also
growing. AMP Capital has a $5 billion long-term property
development pipeline across shopping centre, offi ce and
industrial sectors, this includes the redevelopment of
Macquarie and Pacifi c Fair shopping centres.

Strategies and prospects by business segment1
Wealth Management
Wealth Management’s key priorities are to:
–
build a stronger, more customer centric business whilst
remaining vigilant on cost control
improve the quality of the advice experience and develop
complementary advice channels
implement a comprehensive customer and product strategy
which accounts for the new regulatory environment
improve adviser productivity, and
develop a strong SMSF capability.
–
–
–
–
between 4 to 6 per cent per annum. In volatile investment
markets, this run-off rate can vary substantially.
The run-off of AUM mirrors policy liabilities, although there is
potential for profi t margins to be impacted differently. The run-
off of Mature AUM is anticipated to have an average duration
of approximately 14 years, but will be impacted by investment
markets.
The expected run-off of Mature is not anticipated to be
materially different from current guidance as a result of the
StrongerSuper regulatory changes.
Since 2011, AMP has guided to average annual margin
compression on investment related revenue to AUM of 3.5 to
4.5 per cent per annum over the MySuper implementation
period to 2017. Average compression since guidance was
initiated has been 3.5 per cent. As MySuper plan transitions
have now commenced, average annual compression is expected
to be around the higher end of the range through to 2017.
New Zealand
NZ’s key priorities to grow shareholder value are:
enhancing product features and offerings
–
rationalising duplicate product sets
–
improving the customer experience
–
evolving distribution capability, and
–
maximising cost effi ciency.
–
AMP Bank
AMP Bank’s key priorities are to:
–
deliver compelling customer centric propositions which
meet a broader range of customer needs
combine technology and excellence in customer service to
make it easier for customers to do their banking with AMP
drive growth through the Bank’s access to AMP’s distribution
networks and platforms by enabling and encouraging
advisers to offer banking solutions to clients to meet their
core banking needs, and to
continue to optimise the Bank’s funding sources and invest
in operating capacity to enable growth.
–
–
–
Wealth Protection
In 2013, AMP began to undertake wide-reaching actions
driven by a new executive team to improve lapses and claims
experience over the short and medium terms. Actions include:
–
increasing the size of the claims team, repricing the income
protection business to improve value and focusing on the
claims fi nalisation pipeline to improve the timeliness of
fi nalising claims, and
increasing the size of retention teams to reach customers
likely to lapse, rolling out tactical customer campaigns
focused on pricing and value, and a review of business terms
for adviser practices with high lapse rates.
–
Over the medium term, actions planned include developing
new claims analytical tools, building a new claims technology
platform and offering broader support – including rehabilitation
– to customers on claim. AMP will also continue to improve on
its monitoring and management of lapse experience, develop
a new retention management framework and review adviser
remuneration structures at both industry and AMP levels.
The strengthening of assumptions across both the retail income
protection and lump sum products is expected to reduce profi t
margins by around $35 million in 2014. While signifi cant action
to remediate the group risk business has been undertaken
during 2013, one scheme which contributed to over 70 per cent
of losses will be repriced in June 2014. Some negative claims
experience in group risk business is expected to continue until
these repricing actions fl ow through.
Mature
Key priorities for management are to:
–
–
–
–
maintain high persistency
prudently manage asset and liability risk
achieve greater cost effi ciency, and
maintain capital effi ciency.
The Mature business remains in slow decline but is expected
to remain profi table for many years. It is expected to run off
Changes to the taxation of life insurance business in New
Zealand will impact NZ from 1 July 2015, resulting in a material
increase in the amount of corporate tax paid by NZ. These tax
changes apply to all life insurance companies in New Zealand
and are not specifi c to NZ. To offset the impact of this change
on operating earnings, NZ is progressively growing its revenue
base, reducing its overall costs and reducing the capital impacts
of distributing life insurance.
AMP Capital
Working as a unifi ed investment house, AMP Capital’s key
priorities are to generate revenue growth through:
–
–
delivering outstanding investment outcomes to clients
building a differentiated client experience driving strong
client engagement
partnering effectively across the AMP group to deliver
investment solutions for retail, SMSF and corporate super
customers
expanding the global pension fund client base, and
building preferential distribution partnerships in select
Asian markets, particularly Japan and China.
–
–
–
AMP Capital’s target cost to income ratio is 60 to 65 per cent
by the fi rst half of 2014.
Key risks
Key risks which may impact AMP’s business strategies and
prospects for future fi nancial years include:
–
–
A volatile economic environment could have a negative
impact on the profi tability of AMP. When markets are volatile
and investment returns are low, customers are more likely to
change their investment preferences and products. This could
result in customers choosing to put less of their discretionary
savings into AMP superannuation and investment products
which would reduce AMP’s cash infl ows and create lower
profi t margins. AMP continues to monitor market conditions
and review its product offerings to ensure they continue to
meet changing customer needs. Low and volatile investment
markets can also impact the risks associated with capital
guaranteed products, and AMP actively manages capital,
liquidity and funding requirements in this context.
In recent times AMP, in common with much of the industry,
has been experiencing elevated claims and lapse rates, with
a consequent adverse impact on profi t. There is a risk that
this poor experience continues or further deteriorates. There
are many factors impacting claims and lapse experience
including slower economic activity, the impact of the
Future of Financial Advice reforms, changes in society’s
attitudes to claiming benefi ts, changes in state-based
injury compensation schemes as well as changes in AMP’s

AMP 2013 annual report
11
Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
business mix over time. Many of these issues are affecting
the Australian insurance industry as a whole whilst others
are more specifi c to AMP. One of AMP’s highest priorities is
improving the profi tability of its insurance products, some
of which are in loss recognition and can have a large impact
on earnings when claims and lapse experience assumptions
change. AMP has a new management team in place in this
area of the business who are undertaking wide-reaching
actions to change the way insurance claims are managed
so customers can return to work faster. They are also
implementing new initiatives to help customers better
understand the value and benefi ts of their policies, with
the aim of reducing the number of policies which lapse.
The Australian fi nance industry is in a period of signifi cant
regulatory change in relation to superannuation, the
provision of fi nancial advice, banking, capital requirements,
US tax and privacy legislation. While most of the reforms
are nearing completion, the interpretation, and the practical
implementation of regulation, coupled with the failure to
fund, manage and implement the required changes, could
adversely impact AMP’s business model, or result in a failure
to achieve business and or strategic objectives. AMP actively
engages with the government, regulators and industry
bodies and has dedicated resources and change programs
to meet the new requirements.
In addition, AMP has embarked on a program to increase
the scale and pace of change in its Australian business to
better respond to changing customer demands and ongoing
pricing pressures. Both customers and shareholders will
benefi t from this reshaping of the Australian business. The
introduction of this program may cause some disruption
within the business over the next 12 months. To manage
these changes, AMP has dedicated resources and well
established change programs and processes in place.
Failure to comply with regulatory and legislative
requirements could result in breaches, fi nes, regulatory
action or reputational impacts. AMP has established
frameworks and dedicated risk and compliance teams that
work closely with the business to ensure compliance with
regulatory and legal obligations. The provision of fi nancial
advice to customers is one of the current focus areas and
AMP is working closely with regulators and external advisers
to review processes and controls to ensure all fi nancial
advice provided by AMP advisers is compliant with the
relevant regulations and in the best interest of the customer.
AMP has a number of material outsourcing arrangements
with external service providers. If these are not appropriately
managed it could affect AMP’s service to customers,
fi nancial performance, ability to meet regulatory
requirements and reputation. AMP would also need to
fund the cost of correcting any issues. AMP has policies and
processes in place to ensure appropriate governance and
management of external service providers. Dedicated teams
ensure contracts and service level agreements are monitored
regularly and performance targets are reviewed to ensure
required deliverables and standards are met.
–
–
–
–
The directors expect these risks will continue to have the
potential to impact AMP and management will continue to
monitor and manage these risks closely.
Capital management
Equity and reserves of the AMP group attributable to
shareholders increased to $8.1 billion at 31 December 2013
from $7.5 billion at 31 December 2012. This increase was due
to profi ts over the period, favourable markets, actuarial gains
and losses on defi ned benefi t funds and additional share capital
issued under the dividend reinvestment plan (DRP).
AMP has $2.1 billion in shareholder regulatory capital resources
above minimum regulatory requirements (MRR) at 31 December
2013 ($1.4 billion at 31 December 2012 restated allowing for
the impact of LAGIC).
12
AMP continues to actively manage its capital position in the
light of continuing market volatility and regulatory changes.
AMP has declared a dividend of 11.5 cents per share,
franked to 70 per cent. The dividend payout ratio is 80 per
cent of underlying profi t for the full year ended 31 December
2013. AMP’s dividend policy is to pay out 70–80 per cent of
underlying profi t, franked to the maximum extent possible.
AMP will continue to offer a DRP for shareholders. For the fi nal
2013 dividend, no discount will apply to the DRP allocation
price. AMP intends to acquire shares on market to satisfy any
entitlements under the DRP.
Political donations
AMP’s policy is that it does not make donations to political
parties. AMP did not make any political donations during 2013.
AMP did contribute $20,000 to the Menzies Research Centre
and $20,000 to the Chifl ey Research Centre to assist with public
policy development. These contributions are permitted under
AMP’s policy.
Signifi cant changes to the state of affairs
Details of the change in CEO and changes in AMP’s strategic
priorities are set out earlier in this report.
Events occurring after the reporting date
As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any
matter or circumstance that has arisen since the reporting
date that has signifi cantly affected or may signifi cantly affect
the entity’s operations in future years; the results of those
operations in future years; or the entity’s state of affairs in
future years which is not already refl ected in this report, other

Indemnifi cation and insurance of directors and offi cers
Under AMP’s constitution, the company indemnifi es, to the
extent permitted by law, all directors and offi cers of the
company against any liability (including the costs and expenses
of defending actions for an actual or alleged liability) incurred in
their capacity as an offi cer of the company.
This indemnity is not extended to current or former employees
of the AMP group against liability incurred in their capacity as an
employee, unless approved by the AMP Limited Board. No such
indemnities have been provided during or since the end of the

the offi cers (including all directors) of the AMP group against
certain liabilities as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The
insurance policy prohibits disclosure of the nature of the cover,

Auditor’s Independence Declaration to the Directors of AMP Limited
In relation to our audit of the fi nancial report of AMP Limited for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2013, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001
or any applicable code of professional conduct.

Non-audit services
The Audit Committee has reviewed details of the amounts paid or payable for non-audit services provided to the AMP group of
companies during the year ended 31 December 2013, by the company’s auditor, Ernst & Young.
The directors are satisfi ed that the provision of those non-audit services by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act and did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act for the following reasons:
–
–
–
all non-audit assignments were approved in accordance with the process set out in the AMP charter of audit independence
no non-audit assignments were carried out which were specifi cally excluded by the AMP charter of audit independence, and
the level of fees for non-audit services amounted to $3,872,000 or 22 per cent of total audit fees (refer to note 35 of the fi nancial
report for further details).
Remuneration disclosures
The remuneration arrangements for AMP directors and senior executives are outlined in the remuneration report which forms part
of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2013.
Directors’ and senior executives’ interests in AMP Limited shares, performance rights and options are also set out in the
remuneration report on the following pages.

Remuneration report (audited)
AMP is committed to ensuring remuneration practices are aligned with the creation of value for shareholders so remuneration for
2013 refl ects AMP’s reduced profi t for the year.

Salary costs have been closely managed across the organisation. In 2013, executive salaries remained frozen, having last been
adjusted in April 2011. The previous adjustment had been in April 2008. Salaries have only been adjusted if an executive has
been promoted or in the exception where an individual’s remuneration has been found to have fallen signifi cantly below market
competitive levels.
Chief Executive Offi cer (CEO) Craig Meller has been set a salary and reward opportunity 8.6 per cent lower than that of previous
CEO Craig Dunn.
No termination payment has been paid to former CEO Craig Dunn.
Performance rights are paid to executives when AMP delivers signifi cant value to shareholders. Performance rights awarded in
2010 lapsed in 2013 as the performance hurdle was not met.
The performance hurdle for AMP’s long-term incentive (LTI) awards has been revised to now include a return on equity measure.
Return on equity is a strong measure of capital management and business effi ciency and will ensure the payment of LTIs
remains closely linked with the delivery of long-term shareholder value.
The 2013 short-term incentive (STI) pool has been reduced to $83 million or 9.8 per cent of underlying profi t compared with
$96 million or 10.1 per cent of underlying profi t for 2012. STI payments to former CEO Craig Dunn and Craig Meller, for his
former role as Managing Director, AMP Financial Services, have been reduced by 42 per cent and 41 per cent respectively.

1 2013 remuneration overview
1.1 Remuneration strategy
AMP’s remuneration strategy is to align remuneration with the creation of value for shareholders by attracting and retaining employees
who will contribute to AMP’s success and motivating them to achieve outstanding performance against AMP’s business objectives.
AMP’s remuneration strategy
Attract, motivate and retain employees who will contribute to AMP’s success
Drive outstanding performance against business objectives
Support AMP’s desired culture and risk appetite
Create value for shareholders
AMP has a comprehensive remuneration policy which outlines the responsibilities of the board, People and Remuneration
Committee (PRC) and management in maintaining alignment with the remuneration strategy. Of particular note, the policy
requires that remuneration arrangements are simple, practical and supported by a governance framework that avoids confl icts
of interest, defi nes clear accountabilities and ensures that proper checks and balances are in place. Where an external perspective
is needed, the PRC requests market practice, regulatory and governance input from its external board remuneration advisers,
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
1.2 Remuneration mix for the nominated executives
The nominated executives are the 2013 CEO and his direct reports. All of the nominated executives have a signifi cant component
of their total remuneration linked to performance. This is illustrated below, using the midpoint for the short-term incentive (STI)
(the STI midpoint is halfway between the minimum outcome of zero per cent and the maximum outcome, which varies for each
executive and is outlined in section 3.2). STI cash, STI deferral and long-term incentives (LTI) are ‘at risk’ remuneration and will only
be paid if specifi ed performance hurdles are met.

Colin Storrie had a retention payment payable on 31 December 2013, recorded above as ‘Other remuneration’. Refer to footnote 6 of the
table in section 4.1 for further information.
Paul Sainsbury was Integration Director and Managing Director, AMP SMSF before being appointed Chief Customer Offi cer on 1 April 2013.
The increase in remuneration refl ects his expanded role.
Brian Salter received an additional superannuation contribution required to fund his life insurance cover. This is recorded as ‘Superannuation
benefi ts’ in the table in section 4.1.
The total remuneration received by the nominated executives for 2013 is lower than 2012. This refl ects the board’s focus on linking
pay with performance:
–
fi xed remuneration costs were held fl at for executives: AMP continued to freeze the pay of executives at April 2011 levels
(excluding promotions and other exceptional adjustments).
STI outcomes were lower in aggregate: for the nominated executives, aggregate STIs are 25 per cent lower in 2013 compared to
2012 STI outcomes.
performance-based LTI did not vest: the performance period for the 2010 LTI completed in July 2013. The performance rights
issued under the 2010 LTI lapsed as the relative total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle was not met.

Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
1.4 CEO retirement
Craig Dunn retired as CEO and from all AMP boards and management committees, effective from 31 December 2013, and his
contract of employment ceases on 31 March 2014. At this time, Craig will not receive any fi nancial benefi t in addition to his
contractual entitlements. Part of his STI payment for the year ended 31 December 2013 will continue to be subject to deferral. The
share rights Craig received as part of the AMP STI deferral plan will convert to AMP Limited shares over the next two years, subject to
the vesting conditions approved and determined by the board. Some of the performance rights granted to Craig in prior years under
the LTI plan may vest in the three years after his retirement as CEO. Under the terms of the shareholder approved plan, performance
rights granted in 2012 and 2013 are retained by Craig subject to the original performance hurdles and performance periods, while
he will forfeit the performance rights granted to him in 2011.
From 1 January to 31 March 2014, Craig will provide advice and support to the new CEO and the AMP Limited Board, assist with
the completion of the 2013 remuneration cycle and will hand over key strategic business relationships to the new CEO. During this
period, Craig will receive his base salary, superannuation and other leave entitlements. No STI will be payable, nor will any long-term
entitlements be granted.
1.5 Key management personnel
For the purpose of this remuneration report and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (refer to
note 34 of the fi nancial statements), key management personnel (KMP) are defi ned as including all non-executive directors (NEDs),
the CEO and other people having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of AMP. For AMP,
this includes the direct reports of the CEO and the NEDs of the AMP Limited Board.
AMP will review the nominated executives for 2014 following the appointment of Craig Meller as CEO and the new Group
Leadership Team, effective 1 January 2014.

A limited number of investment management and sales employees also participated in tailored business unit plans, which are based on
individual/team fi nancial measures and delivered in cash.
The managing director of AMP Capital (AMP Capital MD) and selected senior leaders of AMP Capital participated in the AMP Capital
enterprise profi t share plan (profi t share) as outlined in section 2.2.3.
3 The nominated executives are the CEO of AMP Limited and his direct reports as listed in section 1.3.
16
2.1 Fixed remuneration
AMP generally positions fi xed remuneration at the median (ie the 50th percentile) of the market. When determining the relevant
‘market’ for each role, AMP considers companies from which AMP sources talent and to whom it could potentially lose talent. For
the nominated executives, AMP sources data from Australian listed companies of comparable size to AMP, both within the fi nancial
services sector and across the general market. Within that market, AMP looks at roles in the same area of expertise, with similar
seniority and responsibility to the relevant individual. Total remuneration above the market median can be realised through the
achievement of ‘stretch’ performance targets. Fixed remuneration for the nominated executives at AMP is expressed as an annual
salary package. From this amount, AMP deducts the required superannuation contributions and any additional superannuation
contributions or salary-sacrifi ced benefi ts at the employee’s election. Any fringe benefi ts tax incurred by AMP in providing benefi ts
is on-charged to the employee.
Fixed remuneration for the nominated executives is reviewed by the PRC and approved by the AMP Limited Board annually (but not
necessarily increased), taking into account:
– market remuneration ranges for the role
–
–
the individual’s capability, performance and criticality to AMP
the available budget for remuneration increases.
2.2 Short-term incentives
AMP’s short-term incentive (STI) plans provide employees with rewards for annual performance against measures set at the
beginning of the performance period. The nominated executives participate in the following plans:
– CEO: CEO STI plan (refer to section 2.2.1)
– direct reports to the CEO (other than the AMP Capital MD): AMP group STI plan (refer to section 2.2.2)
– AMP Capital MD: AMP Capital enterprise profi t share plan (refer to section 2.2.3).
Other employees participate in the AMP group STI plan and/or tailored business unit plans based on individual/team fi nancial
measures.
2.2.1 CEO’s short-term incentive plan
The CEO’s maximum STI opportunity is 200 per cent of fi xed remuneration. To determine the annual STI award, the PRC assesses
the performance of the CEO against objectives set and approved by the board at the start of each year. The PRC then recommends
an STI payment to the board for approval.
In 2013, the CEO’s award was based on the measures and weightings provided in section 2.2.2, which were selected to reward the
CEO for performance that would drive sustainable growth in shareholder value.
2.2.2 AMP group short-term incentive plan
The nominated executives and other employees earn STI awards based on the achievement of AMP’s group-wide measures and
personal objectives. The STI opportunity for the nominated executives is provided in section 3.2.
STI pool
The board determines the size of the STI pool, assessing AMP’s performance against group-wide measures set and approved by the
board at the start of each year. The CEO then distributes the STI pool among business units and AMP group functions, based on their
contribution to AMP’s performance.
Group-wide measures
The following AMP group-wide measures were used in 2013 to determine the size of the STI pool (the STI scorecard). These measures
were chosen because they align with the company’s strategy, objectives and goals as approved by the board, and provide an overall
view of performance.
Financial measures: weighting 65%
Non-financial measures: weighting 35%
Measures
–
Underlying profi t after tax less cost of capital
– Value of net cash fl ows and risk new business
– Cost to income ratio
Investment performance for clients
–
– Customer advocacy
– Employee engagement
–
Other key strategic priorities, including the AXA
integration, growth strategies for self-managed
superannuation funds and Asia, and staying
ahead of regulatory change
Link to strategy
–
These fi nancial measures are key drivers
of shareholder value
–
These measures are key indicators of how
successfully the company is delivering against
its goals and strategy
The STI pool is calculated based on performance against the STI scorecard and is then adjusted downwards if AMP management
operates outside board-approved risk appetite levels. The risk adjustment can be anywhere from 0–100 per cent. The board also has
the discretion to consider the quality of AMP’s fi nancial results, business leadership and the realisation of strategic opportunities in
determining the fi nal STI pool.
Individual performance and development plans (PDPs)
Individual PDPs are set at the start of each year and are designed to focus employees on activities that will drive the achievement
of AMP’s strategic objectives. Additionally, all employees are measured on the extent to which they exhibit the ‘AMP behaviours’.
These are the behaviours AMP has identifi ed as critical to driving business performance and growth.
PDPs for the nominated executives typically include some or all of the AMP group measures (refer to ‘Group-wide measures’
above) and additional business unit/individual measures. People measures apply to all of the nominated executives. Performance
objectives for the nominated executives are agreed with the CEO and approved by the board. The board also approves the setting of
performance objectives for individuals who it considers have the ability to impact AMP’s fi nancial soundness (specifi ed individuals).
AMP 2013 annual report
17
Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
At the end of the fi nancial year, the CEO recommends STI payments for his direct reports and other specifi ed individuals based
on their performance against the agreed measures, for board approval.
For employees below this level, an individual’s STI payment will be determined on the basis of AMP’s overall performance,
the individual’s business unit performance and their own performance as assessed against the performance and behavioural
goals outlined in their PDP. Recommendations are signed off by the CEO and the general manager of Human Resources to ensure
group-wide consistency and equity, particularly from a gender pay perspective.
STI deferral plan
The nominated executives, and selected other senior leaders who have the ability to impact AMP’s fi nancial soundness, participate
in the AMP STI deferral plan. The plan requires that 40 per cent of a participant’s STI award be delivered in rights to AMP shares
(share rights). The share rights have no exercise price and no exercise period, converting to AMP Limited shares (ie vesting) after
a two-year deferral period.
Vesting is subject to ongoing employment, compliance with AMP policies and the board’s discretion. The condition of ongoing
employment may not apply in specifi c circumstances, including where an employee dies, is totally and permanently disabled, or
gives notice of retirement, or their employment ends on the grounds of redundancy. The 2013 STI deferral awards will be granted
in April 2014, following the release of AMP’s full-year fi nancial results and calculation of 2013 STI outcomes. The fi rst grant of
share rights was made under the STI deferral plan during 2012 based on 2011 STI outcomes. These share rights will convert to
AMP Limited shares, subject to the above conditions, in 2014.
STI match plan
Each year, high-potential senior employees are eligible for nomination to participate in the STI match plan, which provides an
award of share rights to the value of 50 per cent of the individual’s STI. The STI match award is provided in addition to the STI cash
opportunity. Employees at this level are not eligible to participate in AMP’s long-term incentive plan. As the STI match is based
on the STI plan, the number of share rights awarded to the participant depends on the individual’s contribution to company
performance during the fi nancial year.
As with the STI deferral plan, STI match share rights convert to AMP Limited shares (ie vest) after a two-year deferral period. Vesting
is subject to ongoing employment, compliance with AMP policies and the board’s discretion. The condition of ongoing employment
may not apply in specifi c circumstances, including where an employee dies, is totally and permanently disabled, or gives notice
of retirement, or their employment ends on the grounds of redundancy. The 2013 STI match awards will be granted in April 2014,
following the release of AMP’s full-year fi nancial results and calculation of 2013 STI outcomes. The fi rst grant of share rights was
made under the STI match plan during 2012 based on 2011 STI outcomes. These share rights will convert to AMP Limited shares,
subject to the above conditions, in 2014.
2.2.3 AMP Capital enterprise profi t share plan
Select leaders from AMP Capital, including the AMP Capital MD, participate in the AMP Capital enterprise profi t share plan (profi t
share plan). A percentage of AMP Capital’s adjusted pre-tax profi t, allowing for an appropriate cost of capital, is provided to the
profi t share plan. The percentage share has not been disclosed because it is commercially sensitive. The size of the profi t share pool
is agreed upfront by the board. The board has the discretion to adjust the size of the pool, and what portion of the pool is allocated
to the AMP Capital MD, to recognise non-profi t related performance including AMP behaviours, changes in market conditions and
broader fi nancial factors such as AMP’s capacity to pay. The board also has the discretion to adjust the profi t share pool downwards
if AMP Capital management operates outside board-approved risk appetite levels (as per the AMP group STI plan).
Allocation to individuals is determined on a discretionary basis with consideration given to an individual’s performance against their
annual fi nancial and non-fi nancial objectives and AMP behaviours. Allocations are delivered partly in cash at the end of the fi nancial
year (60 per cent of the award), with the remainder deferred into share rights, which vest two years subsequently (40 per cent of
the award). The deferred portion is delivered through the AMP group STI deferral plan (refer to ‘STI deferral plan’ in section 2.2.2).
Allocations to the AMP Capital MD are recommended by the CEO for approval by the board. Allocations to other participants are
recommended by the AMP Capital MD for approval by the CEO.
Profi t share is the exclusive variable remuneration arrangement for participants, except for the AMP Capital MD who also participates
in the LTI plan, thereby maintaining alignment of his remuneration with those of his peers across the AMP leadership team.
2.3 Long-term incentives
AMP’s long-term incentive (LTI) plan provides the nominated executives and selected senior leaders with rewards delivered in
equity if conditions are met over a three-year period. LTI awards are granted annually, which provides ongoing benefi ts to
participants for increasing shareholder value. The nominated executives and selected other senior leaders receive their LTI in the
form of performance rights. These executives previously received LTI awards in the form of performance rights which were subject
to a single relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle. After an extensive review of market practices, conducted in
2012, the board determined that AMP should introduce a return on equity (RoE) performance measure, in addition to a TSR measure.
The vesting of performance rights granted under the 2013 LTI award will now be based on two performance hurdles (refer to
section 2.3.1):
–
50 per cent of the LTI award value, granted as performance rights, will be subject to AMP’s TSR performance relative to the
top industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index (TSR tranche)
50 per cent of the LTI award value, granted as performance rights, will be subject to an RoE measure (RoE tranche).
–
Other participants may take a portion or all of their LTI in share rights, which are subject to their ongoing service (refer to section 2.3.2).
18
2.3.1 Performance rights
A performance right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP Limited after a three-year vesting period for no
consideration (ie effectively a share option with a zero exercise price), provided a specifi c performance hurdle is met. The nominated
executives are required to take their full LTI award in performance rights. Performance rights are awarded at no cost to the participant.
Performance hurdles
TSR tranche: Vesting of these performance rights is dependent on AMP’s TSR performance relative to a comparator group of
Australian listed companies over a three-year performance period. TSR measures the benefi t delivered to shareholders over the given
period, which includes dividend payments, capital returns and movement in the share price. The performance hurdle was chosen
because it requires participants to outperform major ASX listed companies before the awards generate any value.
RoE tranche: Vesting of these performance rights is based on AMP’s RoE performance for the year ending 31 December 2015.
Prior to the 2013 grant being awarded, the board determined the threshold and maximum RoE performance targets (expressed as
percentage outcomes) to be achieved for the year ending 31 December 2015. An RoE hurdle was chosen as it drives a strong capital
discipline, which is a key contributor to creating sustainable shareholder value.
2.3.2 Share rights
AMP also awards share rights under the LTI plan. LTI share rights are used to recognise senior leaders who contribute signifi cantly to
AMP’s overall business success, but have a reduced ability to infl uence the creation of shareholder value compared to the nominated
executives. LTI share rights are rights to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP Limited after a three-year vesting period subject
to ongoing service. Share rights are awarded at no cost to the participant and do not carry dividend entitlements. As this program is a
means of recognising and retaining employees, no performance hurdles apply during the vesting period, other than continued service.
In the years prior to 2011, AMP awarded restricted shares instead of share rights. A restricted share is an ordinary AMP share that
has a holding lock in place until a three-year vesting period ends. During this time, the holder is eligible to receive dividends, but is
unable to sell, transfer or hedge their award.
Hedging
AMP policy prohibits employees from entering into any hedging arrangement in relation to any vested or unvested shares, share
rights or performance rights in any AMP share plan. Breaches of this policy will lead to forfeiture of the relevant award. In accepting
equity awards, participants are required to agree that they will not enter into any hedging arrangements in relation to the award.
Treatment of LTI on cessation of employment and change of control
Typically, unvested LTI awards lapse at the end of the employee’s notice period if the participant resigns from AMP or their
employment is terminated for misconduct or inadequate performance. In other cases, such as retirement and redundancy, LTI
awards may be retained by the participant, with vesting continuing to be subject to the same vesting conditions as if they had
remained in AMP employment. In the event that AMP is subject to a takeover or change of control, unvested performance rights,
granted prior to September 2011, typically vest.
Commencing from the performance rights granted in September 2011, the board has the discretion to determine an alternative
treatment on cessation of employment and change of control (ie to determine that the LTI awards would lapse, are retained or vest
when they would not have otherwise), if deemed appropriate in the light of specifi c circumstances.
Source of shares
The board has the discretion to satisfy vested rights by either acquiring shares on market or by issuing shares. While performance
rights can be dilutive, it is AMP’s historical and planned practice to buy AMP shares ‘on market’ to satisfy the LTI awards so there will be
no dilutive effect on the value of AMP shares. In the case of the CEO, vested rights must be satisfi ed by acquiring shares on market.
2.3.3 Performance rights and share rights granted in 2013
Determining the value of the award and the number of securities
Participation in the LTI and the value of awards is recommended by the PRC for approval by the board (and by shareholders in the
case of the award to the CEO). When recommending the value of awards for each participant, the PRC, on advice from the CEO,
considers the recipient’s seniority, infl uence on AMP’s long-term performance and contribution to AMP over the past 12 months
or more. To determine the number of performance rights to be granted in the respective tranches, the total value of the LTI award
is divided in two. Half of the LTI award value is then divided by the fair value of a performance right subject to a TSR performance
hurdle, and the other half of the LTI award value is divided by the fair value of a performance right subject to an RoE performance
hurdle. To determine the number of share rights to be granted, the value of the award is divided by the applicable fair value of a
share right. The relevant fair value is determined based on a valuation prepared by an independent external consultant, which
is based on the 10-day average daily closing share price prior to the offer being made. Fair values are discounted for the value of
foregone dividends and, in the case of performance rights, the risk of performance conditions not being met.
AMP 2013 annual report

Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
Vesting of performance rights granted prior to 2013, including those subject to performance testing during 2013, is dependent on
AMP’s TSR performance relative to a comparator group of Australian listed companies over a three-year performance period. The
comparator group was the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index (based on market capitalisation rank) as defi ned
at the start of the relevant performance period. Vesting of performance rights granted during 2013 is also dependent on AMP’s RoE
performance during the applicable performance period (refer to section 2.3.1). The performance testing period is provided in the
following table.

Performance rights granted under the 2013 LTI award are subject to two performance hurdles. 50% of the LTI award value will be comprised
of performance rights subject to AMP’s TSR performance hurdle (TSR tranche) and 50% will be comprised of performance rights subject to an
RoE performance hurdle (RoE tranche).
2 Vesting of these performance rights will be based on AMP’s RoE performance for the year ending 31 December 2015.
3
The 2009 annual award was granted later than usual as a result of pending changes to taxation rules. To ensure continuity in long-term
performance assessment, the vesting conditions were applied from August 2009.
Vesting schedule
As outlined above, for the 2013 LTI award there are two performance measures that will combine to determine the number of
performance rights that will vest at the end of the vesting period. Whilst the TSR and RoE performance rights are subject to different
performance periods, they both have the same vesting period, which concludes upon the end of the TSR performance period, during
March 2016.
The number of performance rights in the TSR tranche that vest and are converted into AMP shares at the end of the vesting period
will be determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule.
TSR performance
Percentage of performance rights in the TSR tranche to vest
AMP’s TSR ranking below the 50th percentile
of the market comparator group
AMP’s TSR ranking at the 50th percentile
of the market comparator group
0%
50%
AMP’s TSR ranking between the 50th and
75th percentile of the market comparator group
50% plus 2% for each additional percentile
(rounded to the nearest whole percentile)
AMP’s TSR ranking in at least the 75th
percentile of the market comparator group
100%
At the end of the performance period, an independent external consultant provides the PRC with AMP’s TSR ranking against the
comparator group.
The number of performance rights in the RoE tranche that vest and are converted into AMP shares at the end of the vesting period
will be determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule.
RoE performance
Percentage of performance rights in the RoE tranche to vest
RoE below threshold performance target
RoE at threshold performance target
0%
50%
RoE between threshold and maximum performance targets
Proportionate vesting between 50% and 100%
RoE equal to or greater than maximum performance target
100%
20
For the purposes of the RoE hurdle, RoE will be calculated as follows (and then expressed as a percentage):
Underlying profi t less dividends paid on any preference shares
AMP shareholder equity (book value)
Where:
Underlying profi t = Underlying profi t for the year ending 31 December 2015, as reported in AMP’s 2015 annual report.
AMP shareholder equity (book value) will be calculated by adding AMP shareholder equity as at 31 December 2014 and AMP
shareholder equity at the end of each month over 2015, but excluding any equity attributable to any preference shareholders,
and dividing the resulting number by 13. For this purpose AMP shareholder equity is the total equity of shareholders of AMP
Limited plus adjustments made to statutory shareholder equity (in each case as shown or defi ned in AMP’s audited statement of
fi nancial position and notes as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015 or the management accounts for each other month).
Dividends paid on, and equity relating to, any preference shares will be excluded from the measure, to focus on returns to ordinary
shareholders.
At the end of the performance period, AMP’s Finance division will provide the PRC with AMP’s RoE performance expressed as
a percentage.
The PRC then determines the number of performance rights subject to either a TSR or RoE performance hurdle, if any, which vest
with reference to the above vesting schedules. There is no subsequent performance retesting. Consequently, any awards that do
not vest at the end of the vesting period are forfeited.
Conversion to shares
If the awards vest, they are automatically converted to shares on behalf of participants. Upon conversion, participants become
entitled to shareholder benefi ts, including dividends and voting rights.
2.4 Other equity arrangements – executive minimum shareholding requirement
In 2006, the PRC introduced guidelines outlining the minimum number of AMP shares that nominated executives are expected
to hold. The guidelines were introduced to strengthen the alignment between the interests of the nominated executives and
shareholders in the long-term performance of AMP. The nominated executives were expected to establish and maintain the
following minimum shareholdings by 2011 (or within fi ve years of appointment if appointed after 2006):
– CEO: 300,000 shares
– direct reports to the CEO: 60,000 shares.
Share rights allocated to nominated executives as a result of STI deferral will be included in balances for the purpose of minimum
shareholding requirements. The table below summarises the movements in the holdings of shares in AMP Limited held by the
nominated executives and their personally related entities over the reporting period.

3.1 Company performance and short-term incentive expenditure
The following table shows how STI outcomes compared to AMP’s fi nancial results over the past fi ve years. STI outcomes and
company results are not expected to be perfectly correlated as AMP’s STI performance assessment involves a broader consideration
of AMP’s progress in generating future value for shareholders (eg non-fi nancial performance and fi nancial results relative to the
targets set by the board and shareholder expectations).

The STI pool for 2011 was higher than in 2010 because of the increase in AMP’s headcount following AMP’s merger with the Australian
and New Zealand businesses of AXA Asia Pacifi c Holdings and other structural changes in the balance of at-risk remuneration for a number
of employees.
2 The 2012 STI pool is inclusive of the CEO STI plan and the AMP group STI plan.
With regard to the non-fi nancial measures as outlined in section 2.2.2, AMP performed strongly overall and particularly against
AMP’s measures of investment performance and key strategic priorities. Further commentary is provided below:

3.2 Company performance and 2013 STI outcomes for the nominated executives
The following table shows STI opportunities for each nominated executive (as a percentage of fi xed remuneration) and the
proportions of STI opportunity awarded and forfeited during 2013. On average, the nominated executives were awarded 43 per
cent of their maximum opportunity. The 2013 STI outcomes for the nominated executives were signifi cantly lower than 2012 STI
outcomes (when the average percentage awarded was 63 per cent).

The AMP Capital MD has STI opportunity delivered under the AMP Capital enterprise profi t share plan (refer to section 2.2.3) and this
opportunity is uncapped. Accordingly STI opportunity, % awarded and % not awarded, is not applicable.
2 The amounts awarded are inclusive of the deferred component (ie include both the cash and deferred share rights).
3.3 Company performance and long-term incentive vesting
Performance rights awarded to nominated executives prior to 2013 are subject to a single total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle
whereby AMP’s TSR must be equal to or greater than the median TSR of the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index
(refer to section 2.3.1).
The table below illustrates how LTI outcomes for the nominated executives are linked to shareholder returns. For each LTI grant
made during the last four years, the table provides the relevant performance period, and for all completed performance periods:
– AMP’s TSR for that period (absolute and relative to the specifi ed comparator group for the relevant LTI award)
– details of whether the award vested.

TSR was calculated as the growth in share price (using the ASX adjusted price series) plus dividend payments and capital returns over the period.
As shown in the table above, performance rights issued under the 2010 LTI offer lapsed as the TSR hurdle was not met.

For accounting purposes, all share-based payments are equity-settled as per the relevant Australian Accounting Standard
(AASB 2 Share-based Payment).
2 Short-term incentive values represent 60% of the total STI award, with 40% being deferred into STI deferral plan share rights.
3 Superannuation benefi ts for 2013 include contributions made above statutory requirements.
4
Includes performance rights, share rights and STI deferral plan share rights. The minimum future value for these awards is nil and there is no
maximum future value for these awards as they are linked to the performance of AMP. The fair value of share rights and performance rights
has been calculated as at the grant date by external consultants using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the TSR performance rights
has been discounted for the probability of not meeting the TSR performance hurdles. The value of the award made in any year is amortised
over the vesting period.
No termination payments, non-monetary benefi ts or other post-employment benefi ts were made to nominated executives during 2013.
Colin Storrie was granted cash retention awards payable on 31 December 2013 and 31 March 2014. The amortised value of these payments
is recorded above as ‘Other short-term benefi ts’. The award was made to ensure fl exibility regarding handover arrangements with AMP’s
new CFO and to incentivise early completion of a number of strategic projects.
Paul Sainsbury was Integration Director and Managing Director, AMP SMSF before being appointed as Chief Customer Offi cer on 1 April 2013.

The table below provides a summary of the key contractual terms agreed with the nominated executives for 2013.
Contract term
CEO contract1
Other nominated executives
Length of contract
Open-ended
Notice period
Employee benefi ts
not forming part of
fi xed remuneration
(refer to section 2.1)
Entitlements on
termination
Post-employment
restraint
–
–
–
Employment may be terminated at any time
by AMP giving 12 months’ notice or by Craig
Dunn giving six months’ notice.
AMP may terminate Craig Dunn’s
employment immediately in certain events,
including serious misconduct and material
breach of contract.
In each case, AMP may pay the fi xed
remuneration for the balance of any notice
period in order to bring an earlier end to his
employment.
Not applicable
–
–
–
–
Accrued fi xed salary and statutory
entitlements.
Pro-rata STI may be paid for the period
since the last 1 January except in case of
misconduct or breach of contract. Where
provided, the STI is pro-rated for time served
and calculated based on performance to the
date of termination.
Unvested LTI performance rights may be
allowed to continue in the relevant LTI plan in
the case of death, disablement, redundancy
or notice without cause by AMP. In this
case, the awards will continue to be subject
to the original performance hurdles and
performance periods.
In the case of termination by AMP, or
termination due to death, disablement or a
material change in circumstances, the most
recent LTI award at the time of termination
will be reduced pro-rata if 12 months have
not passed since the award was granted.
–
Vested performance rights will be retained on
cessation of employment except in the case
of serious misconduct or breach of contract.
Craig Dunn is contractually restrained from
entering employment with a competitor for
six months, and has a 12 months’ restraint on
solicitation of AMP clients and employees.
Open-ended, unless otherwise varied in the case
of cessation of employment.
As for CEO, except:
–
–
Most of the other nominated executives may
terminate immediately if there is a material
adverse change in their role.
AMP is required to give some longer-serving
nominated executives six months’ notice if it
wishes to terminate for poor performance.
Long-serving nominated executives are entitled
to up to $7,500 annually in reimbursement for
taxation, legal or fi nancial planning advice.
As for CEO, except:
–
–
–
Some longer-serving nominated executives
are entitled to 50% of their maximum annual
STI opportunity for the balance of the notice
period on redundancy or termination by AMP
without cause.
For contracts agreed after 1 January 2010,
the above entitlement was removed, as the
payment of such amounts would result in
termination payments above the threshold
requiring shareholder approval.
The most recent LTI award at the time of
termination does not lapse pro-rata for time
served (in the case of termination by AMP,
termination due to death, disablement or a
material change in circumstances).
–
Most of the other nominated executives are
not restricted from entering employment
with a competitor.
–
Restraints on solicitation of AMP clients and
employees are either for six or 12 months.
1
CEO contract terms relate to Craig Dunn. Craig Meller was appointed to the role of CEO effective 1 January 2014. Details of his contractual
arrangements are available in the ASX announcement of his appointment dated 15 August 2013.
Since 2010, employment contracts issued to newly appointed employees (including any new nominated executives) provide that
an employee’s termination entitlements are limited to amounts not requiring shareholder approval under the Corporations Act 2001
(ie their termination payments are capped at one year’s base salary as defi ned for the purpose of section 200B of the Corporations
Act 2001).

6 Non-executive director remuneration
6.1 Philosophy
Fees paid to non-executive directors (NEDs) of the AMP Limited Board are recommended by the Nomination Committee with regard
to advice provided by AMP remuneration specialists and the Nomination Committee’s appointed external remuneration adviser.
Factors taken into consideration include the:
–
– complexity of AMP’s operations
–
level of fees paid to board members of other Australian corporations
responsibilities and workload requirements of board members.
In order to maintain their independence, none of the NEDs’ remuneration is linked to performance.
6.2 Structure
During 2013, non-executive director remuneration comprised three components.
Benefi ts
Fees
Superannuation and an expense allowance
Committee and subsidiary board fees
AMP Limited Board fees
These fees and benefi ts are subject to the maximum non-executive director fee pool of $3.85 million.
6.2.1 AMP Limited Board fees
The annual base fee for a NED was unchanged in 2013. The base fees provided to each director are as follows:
Base fee (excluding superannuation) 2013
Chairman
$585,000
Other non-executive
directors
$170,000
The AMP Limited Board chairman receives an overall fee in relation to regular duties. No additional fees are paid for his membership
of board committees or subsidiary boards, or for his attendance at board meetings or meetings of board committees of which he is
not a member. An extra fee may be paid for additional board duties. Board fees are not paid to the CEO as responsibilities regarding
board membership are considered to be part of the CEO’s normal employment conditions.
6.2.2 Committee and subsidiary board fees
NEDs are paid additional fees for duties associated with membership of board committees, membership of AMP subsidiary boards
and for duties associated with other special purpose committees. The 2013 fees (excluding superannuation) are presented below:
Board/committee
chairman
Board/committee

In 2013, the People and Remuneration Committee (PRC) took over the responsibilities of the Diversity Advisory Committee, which has been
dissolved. The annual fees payable for the chairman and members of the PRC increased in 2013 due to expanded responsibilities.
28
During 2013, the Nomination Committee instructed PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), its external remuneration adviser, to provide
market benchmarking services for the non-executive director roles. PwC did not provide any remuneration recommendations and
as such, is not considered to be a remuneration consultant as defi ned under the Corporations Act 2001. As a result of the market
review, the annual fees payable to the chairman and the members of the AMP Limited Audit Committee will increase to $45,750
and $25,000 respectively, with effect from 1 January 2014.
6.2.3 Benefi ts
Benefi ts provided to directors are as follows:
–
superannuation: Superannuation contributions are paid in addition to fees and allowances. Contributions increased from 9 per
cent to 9.25 per cent of total fees in July 2013 in accordance with superannuation legislation. Directors may also elect to salary-
sacrifi ce their fees into superannuation.
expense allowance: An annual expense allowance of $6,000 is paid to each director, except the chairman, for incidental expenses
related to the business of the company.
retirement benefi ts: No retirement benefi ts are provided to directors.
–
–
6.3 AMP non-executive directors’ share plan (NED share plan)
A minimum of 26 per cent of non-executive directors’ fees, up to a maximum of 50 per cent, must be taken in the form of AMP
shares which are held in the NED share plan for 10 years or until the director resigns from the AMP Limited Board, unless otherwise
withdrawn with the approval of the Nomination Committee. There are no performance hurdles attached to this plan, as
non-executive directors use part of their fees to acquire these shares.
Non-executive directors do not participate in any other equity plans.

board and is available in the corporate governance section of
AMP’s website.
Details on the role of the chairman are set out in this statement
under ASX Principle 2: Structure the board to add value.
Role of the CEO and management
The CEO is responsible for the overall management and
fi nancial performance of the AMP group. The CEO manages
the organisation in accordance with the strategy, plans, risk
appetite, policies, and delegations of authority approved by
the board.
An executive leadership team assists the CEO with
implementing the policies and strategies set by the board and
running the general operations and fi nancial business of AMP.
Directors decide what matters are delegated to management
and seek to ensure that adequate controls are in place to oversee
the operation of these delegated powers. The areas of authority
which have been delegated to management are documented in
a delegations of authority framework, which has been adopted
by the board.
Allocation of individual responsibilities
Each non-executive director has been issued with a formal
letter of appointment, setting out key terms and conditions
and other corporate expectations. Each member of the
executive leadership team has clearly defi ned goals and
accountabilities and an employment contract setting out
their terms of employment, duties, rights and responsibilities
and entitlements on termination of employment.
Performance evaluation and induction of senior executives
Performance evaluation process
AMP’s remuneration strategy is to align executive rewards
with the creation of shareholder value. Performance of senior
executives is assessed using a combination of quantitative and
qualitative measures that take into account the performance
of the AMP group, business unit, division and individual over
the past year. Further information about the process for
evaluating the performance of senior executives is set out
in the remuneration report.
Performance objectives and performance appraisals for senior
executives were reviewed by the People and Remuneration
Committee and recommended to the board for approval
during 2013, in accordance with the process set out above.
Further details of the People and Remuneration Committee’s
responsibilities are set out in this statement under ASX
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly.
Induction
AMP has procedures and courses for the induction of
managers, to assist them in participating fully and actively
in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity.
ASX Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
Independent directors
Independent decision-making
The AMP Limited corporate governance charter provides
that a majority of directors will be independent. Director
independence is assessed by considering applicable laws,
rules and regulations, including the criteria set out in Box 2.1
of the ASX Recommendations. The board regularly reviews
each director’s independence and considers that each of the
non-executive directors is independent.
In making its assessment, the board noted that certain AMP
Limited directors are also directors or offi cers of suppliers to,
or customers of, the AMP group. The board has noted these
directors are not directly involved in the provision of services
to or by AMP and dealings have been at arm’s length:
–
Peter Mason is a Director of Singapore Telecommunications
Limited, which provides telecommunications services
to AMP
Nora Scheinkestel, who was a Director until 9 May 2013,
is a Director of Telstra Corporation Limited, which provides
telecommunications services to AMP
Peter Mason is the Chairman of David Jones Limited,
which currently leases three stores in AMP Capital shopping
centres and has entered into agreements to lease two
further stores
Peter Mason is a senior adviser to UBS Investment Bank,
which periodically provides transaction advisory services
to AMP
Paul Fegan was the Chief Financial Offi cer of Genworth
Australia, which provides lenders’ mortgage insurance
to AMP Bank, from January to December 2013
Peter Shergold is a Director of Corrs Chambers Westgarth,
which is on AMP’s panel of nine preferred law fi rms for
commercial advice
Peter Shergold is a Director of Veda Group Limited,
which provides credit-referencing services to AMP
Simon McKeon was, until January 2014, an executive of
Macquarie Group, which periodically provides commercial
and advisory services to AMP and invests in various
securities and fi nancial instruments issued by AMP
group companies.
From time to time:
–
AMP purchases various securities and fi nancial
instruments issued by companies in which AMP’s
directors hold board or executive positions, for the
purpose of investing shareholders’ funds, unitholders’
funds and policyholders’ funds
AMP operates corporate superannuation schemes for
employees of companies in which AMP’s directors hold
board or executive positions
properties managed by AMP Capital or its affi liates are
leased to companies in which AMP’s directors hold board
or executive positions.
The board is of the view that these relationships are not
material and do not interfere with the exercise of the
directors’ independent judgement and their ability to act
in the best interests of AMP. ‘Materiality’ is assessed based
on the:
–
strategic importance to AMP’s business of the services
or advice purchased by the AMP group
nature of the services or advice
nature and value of the transaction to the AMP group.
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Directors are required to monitor and disclose any potential
confl ict of interest that may arise. Directors must:
–
disclose to the chairman any actual or potential confl icts
of interest that may exist as soon as the situation arises
(in the case of the chairman, this disclosure would be
made to the chairman of the Nomination Committee
or to the board, as appropriate)
take necessary and reasonable steps to resolve any
confl ict of interest
comply with the Corporations Act 2001 requirements
about disclosing interests and restrictions on voting.
–
–
Potential related-party transactions (other than those
occurring at arm’s length) must be discussed with the
chairman, reported in writing to the company secretary
and, where appropriate, be raised for consideration at
the next board meeting. In the meantime, the director
concerned should not commit to the transaction.
A list of directors’ interests is regularly reviewed by directors
as circumstances change. If the board concludes a director
has lost their independent status, that conclusion will be
disclosed to the market in a timely manner.
The AMP Limited corporate governance charter provides
that directors are entitled to seek independent professional
advice on AMP-related matters at AMP’s expense. Directors
must ensure the costs are reasonable and must advise the
chairman before the advice is sought. Any advice received
must be made available to the rest of the board unless
otherwise agreed by the chairman or the board.
The chairman and other non-executive directors hold
meetings from time to time without management present.
Role of the chairman
The chairman is appointed by and from the independent
non-executive directors of the board. The chairman’s
responsibilities include:
–
providing appropriate leadership to the board and
the AMP group
facilitating board discussions
maintaining a regular dialogue and mentor relationship
with the CEO
monitoring board performance
guiding and promoting the effectiveness of the
board and individual directors.
–
–
–
–
There is a clear division of responsibilities between the
chairman and the CEO, which is set out in the AMP Limited
corporate governance charter.
Nomination Committee
Membership, attendance and terms of reference
Throughout 2013, the Nomination Committee had three
independent directors as its members: Catherine Brenner
(member and chairman from 9 May 2013), Nora Scheinkestel
(member and chairman until 9 May 2013), Brian Clark and
Peter Mason.
Attendance records for the committee are shown in the
directors’ report and a copy of the committee’s terms of
reference is available in the corporate governance section
of AMP’s website.
Responsibilities
The committee supports and advises the board on board
matters including policies, performance, remuneration,
composition, fi tness and propriety of directors and the
board (as required by the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority) and succession planning. This includes identifying,
evaluating and recommending candidates to the board.
AMP 2013 annual report
33
2013 corporate governance statement
continued
The committee also oversees and recommends to the AMP
Limited Board the appointment of non-executive directors
to the boards of key operating subsidiaries.
Board selection and competencies
Succession planning is a regular item on the Nomination
Committee’s agenda. As part of the process of considering
new non-executive directors for AMP and its key operating
subsidiaries, the committee considers a wide base of potential
directors. It identifi es, evaluates and recommends board
candidates, taking into account the relevant experience, skills,
personal attributes and availability of candidates, and the
required time commitments of the position.
A skills framework, which refl ects the overall mix of skills and
diversity that the board aims to achieve in its membership
and, where relevant, the membership of its key operating
subsidiaries, is used to assess the suitability of candidates.
This includes business experience (in different industries and
countries), gender, age, background, professional expertise
and qualifi cations. Other factors taken into account before a
recommendation is made by the committee include the current
composition of the board, succession planning, independence
requirements, AMP’s diversity targets, the strategic direction
of the AMP group, and the geographic spread and mix of
AMP’s businesses.
From time to time, the committee uses external consultants
to assist in its considerations. During 2013, the committee
engaged external consultants to conduct searches for new
directors of AMP Limited and certain key operating subsidiaries.
The committee gave the consultants guidance on the attributes
that would complement the skills and experience of each
entity’s current directors, taking into account the factors
described above.
Further details on AMP’s gender diversity objectives are set out
in this statement under ASX Principle 3: Promote ethical and
responsible decision-making. Biographical details setting out
the skills, experience and period of offi ce held by each of the
directors in offi ce at the date of this statement are set out in
the directors’ report.
Composition and commitment of the AMP Limited Board
AMP Limited’s constitution, available in the corporate
governance section of AMP’s website, provides that there will be
a minimum of three directors and a maximum of 16 directors.
As at the date of this statement, the board is made up of nine
independent non-executive directors and one executive director,
the CEO.
Prior to appointment or re-election, non-executive directors
advise the Nomination Committee of their other commitments
and confi rm they will have suffi cient time to meet their
expected requirements as an AMP Limited director.
Any proposed non-AMP board or executive appointments being
considered by directors must be discussed with the chairman.
Directors must advise AMP of such appointments to other
companies as soon as possible after the appointment is made.
Re-appointment of directors
No director (other than the CEO) may hold offi ce for more than
three years without being re-elected by shareholders. The board
reviews whether retiring directors should stand for re-election,
having regard to their contribution to the board. A director
appointed by the board to fi ll a casual vacancy or as an addition
to the existing directors will hold offi ce until the next annual
general meeting (AGM), when that director is required to stand
for election.
A non-executive director can continue to hold offi ce after
a nine-year term provided they are re-elected by shareholders
at every subsequent AGM.
Board performance
Board performance assessment
Board and director performance reviews are conducted
annually and prior to any director standing for re-election
at a general meeting of the company. Reviews are conducted
either directly or through a third party. Consistent with this
process, during 2013, formal evaluations of the performance
of the board, its committees and each non-executive director
(including the chairman) were facilitated by an independent
third party. One-on-one interviews and questionnaires were
completed by each director and the executive leadership team.
The resultant evaluation reports for the board and committees
were reviewed and discussed at each forum, for action as
necessary. The chairman discussed evaluation reports on
individual directors with that director. The evaluation report
for the chairman was provided to each of the other directors.
The boards and the committees of key operating subsidiaries
also regularly review their own performance.
Induction and education
The Nomination Committee considers board policies relating
to the orientation and education of new directors and the
continuing education and development of directors. All
directors participate in a formal induction process co-ordinated
by the secretariat. Board meetings regularly include sessions
on developments in governance, regulatory, accounting and
capital management matters. Each non-executive director is
allocated an annual budget to spend on education, training
and professional development, specifi c to their professional
development needs.
Access to information
Directors are able to access members of senior management
to request information. When conducting board business,
directors will question, request information, raise any issue
of concern to them, canvass fully all aspects of any issue
confronting AMP and vote on any resolution according to
their own judgement.
Directors keep confi dential all board discussions, deliberations
and decisions except where decisions are required to be
disclosed publicly.
Company secretaries
AMP Limited has three appointed company secretaries,
whose biographical details and qualifi cations are set out in
the directors’ report. The company secretaries are responsible
for advising the board on governance matters and facilitating
the fl ow of information between the board and its committees,
and between senior executives and directors. All directors have
access to the advice and services of the company secretaries,
whose appointment and removal are a matter for decision by
the board.
ASX Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible
decision-making
Code of conduct
AMP’s reputation as a trusted and respected company is
our most valuable asset. The AMP Limited Board has adopted
a code of conduct, which was reviewed and updated in 2012.
The code outlines the standards of behaviour expected of all
directors, offi cers, employees, contractors and consultants of
the AMP group. The code reinforces an already strong ethical
culture for the benefi t of AMP’s shareholders, customers and
clients, business partners and advisers, employees and
the community.
AMP has a whistleblowing policy and processes to support
people who report suspected breaches of the code in good
faith. A copy of the code of conduct is provided to all directors
and employees on joining AMP and is available in the corporate
governance section of AMP’s website.
34
Trading policy
The board has adopted a trading policy to protect stakeholder
interests.
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, directors,
employees or their close associates are prohibited from trading
in, or procuring, arranging or encouraging someone else to trade
in, AMP securities while in possession of inside information
relating to those AMP securities.
Except in certain circumstances, the trading policy requires
directors, employees or their close associates not to trade in
AMP shares (and other AMP securities over or relating to AMP
shares) outside specifi ed trading windows. Breaches of the
policy are investigated and treated seriously and may lead to
disciplinary action being taken against the director or employee,
including dismissal from employment in serious cases.
A copy of the trading policy is available in the corporate
governance section of AMP’s website.
Diversity policy
AMP is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.
By inviting and embracing diversity of thought, AMP believes
it will increase creativity and innovation, make better business
decisions and create great experiences for its customers and
employees alike.
Diversity within the organisation is guided by AMP’s leadership
team who are responsible for reinforcing AMP’s commitment
to having a diverse and inclusive workplace and achieving the
group’s diversity objectives.
In 2013, AMP focused on four key diversity and inclusion priorities:
–
Leadership commitment: creating a clear and visible
commitment to diversity of thought as a strategic business
imperative.
In 2013, AMP established the Diversity and Inclusion
Council – comprising all members of the executive
leadership team – to drive AMP’s diversity and inclusion
strategy. AMP’s executives also completed in-depth
education on how to identify and counteract unconscious
bias in everyday decision making.
–
Changing mindsets: building a more inclusive culture
in which AMP uses diversity of thought to challenge
assumptions, make decisions and solve problems, and
where different modes of working become a normal way
of doing business.
AMP conducted a program for its leaders to help them think
differently about how they engage employees by promoting
diversity of thought and creating a more inclusive team
environment. This included how to encourage employees
to speak up, check for assumptions or bias, engage in
constructive debate and put the customer at the centre
of every interaction.
In 2013, AMP also ran a series of interactive sessions to
help challenge existing ideas about career paths and success
by profi ling the diverse life stories of a number of senior
executives and AMP Limited Board members.
–
Diversify the workforce: actively appointing more diverse
leaders to increase diversity of thought and reinforce AMP’s
commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Attracting and appointing women into senior leadership
roles remained a focus and in 2013 AMP moved closer to
its 2015 gender targets. AMP advocates that the shortlist
for all executive roles contain a mix of men and women,
and both men and women interview candidates through
the executive recruitment process. In AMP’s customer
operations area, a tailored leadership program also helped
female leaders identify opportunities and solutions to
career progression and work/life balance challenges.
–
Measurement: identifying blockages and biases that work
against diversity of thought, and track current progress.
AMP embarked on extensive research in late 2013 to
explore existing opportunities and barriers to creating a
more diverse and inclusive culture. The outcome of this
work will form the basis of AMP’s 2014–2016 diversity
and inclusion strategy.
The People and Remuneration Committee continues to oversee
the implementation of AMP’s diversity and inclusion initiatives,
and to report progress against specifi c, measurable gender
diversity targets set by the AMP Limited Board.
AMP’s diversity and inclusion policy is available in the
corporate governance section of the AMP website and
highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in achieving
organisational performance and growth. The policy outlines
AMP’s commitment to diversity and inclusion across all areas
of its business, including recruitment, talent and succession
management, leadership development, employee retention,
mentoring, coaching and decision making.
Gender diversity objectives and reporting
In 2010, AMP set targets for 2015 for the representation of
women in senior executive, middle management and AMP
Limited Board roles.
AMP is progressing towards these targets, with women now
comprising 32 per cent of executive roles (the top 8.5 per cent
of the organisation) and 40 per cent of middle management
roles (the next 22 per cent of the organisation).
Overall, women make up 50 per cent of AMP’s workforce.
Dr Nora Scheinkestel retired from the AMP Limited Board on
9 May 2013, reducing the percentage of women on the board
from 30 per cent to 20 per cent. AMP aims to gain 30 per cent
representation on the board by 2015.
In 2013, the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace
Agency (EOWA) extended AMP’s 2012 Employer of Choice
for Women (EOCFW) citation. As a founding member, AMP
also remains a committed supporter of the Diversity Council
of Australia.

ASX Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in fi nancial reporting
Audit Committee
Membership, attendance and terms of reference
Throughout 2013, the Audit Committee had the following
independent directors as its members: Paul Fegan (Chairman),
Rick Allert, Simon McKeon (appointed May 2013) and Peter
Shergold. Paul Fegan has over 30 years experience in the
fi nancial services industry, and all members have appropriate
fi nancial expertise and experience as detailed in the directors’
report. The chairman of the committee is not the chairman of
the board. Attendance records for the committee are shown
in the directors’ report and a copy of the committee’s terms
of reference is available in the corporate governance section
of AMP’s website.
Responsibilities
The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the
board to discharge its corporate governance responsibilities
in regard to the:
–
integrity and appropriateness of AMP’s fi nancial statements
and related external fi nancial communications
oversight of the enterprise risk management framework
including compliance and internal controls
performance and independence of the internal audit
function and the external auditor
adequacy of the AMP group’s insurance program,
including directors’ and offi cers’ liability insurance cover.
–
–
–
The AMP Limited chairman and CEO attend committee meetings
where appropriate. The chairman of the committee reports on
any matters of substance at the next full board meeting and
the minutes of committee meetings are available to the board.
The committee regularly holds private sessions with internal
and external auditors, without management present.
Further details on the committee’s role in reviewing risk
management and internal control systems are set out in this
statement under ASX Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk.
Internal auditors
The committee is responsible for assessing whether the
internal audit function is independent of management and
adequately resourced, and for reviewing and approving the
appointment or replacement of the head of internal audit in
consultation with the CEO. AMP has an internal audit charter
which is approved by the committee. As required by the internal
audit charter, the head of internal audit maintains an internal
quality assurance and improvement program. There is also an
external quality assessment of the internal audit function on
a periodic basis.
Further details about the role of internal audit are set out in this
statement under ASX Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk.
External auditors
The independence of the external auditor is of particular
importance to shareholders and the board. The board has
adopted a charter of audit independence, which provides for:
the rotation of the lead and independent review audit
–
partners
the annual confi rmation by the auditor that it has satisfi ed
all professional regulations relating to auditor independence
reporting on the levels of audit and non-audit fees
the specifi c exclusion of the audit fi rm from work which
may give rise to a confl ict.
–
–
–
AMP requires the external auditor to rotate the lead and
independent review audit partners in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, and have suitable succession planning
in place to ensure consistency for AMP. During 2013, the lead
audit partner for AMP was replaced in accordance with these
rotation requirements.
The committee receives a quarterly report, detailing the level
of audit and non-audit fi nancial service fees paid to the external
auditor, and each half year it reviews and reports to the board
36
on the independence of the external auditor. Details of fees
paid or payable for non-audit services during 2013 are set out
in the directors’ report.
The committee is responsible for reviewing the performance
of the external auditor and for recommending to the board
the terms of engagement and fees of external auditors for
AMP and its group companies. A performance evaluation of
Ernst & Young was conducted during 2013 using the results
from a questionnaire which was completed by committee
members and regular meeting attendees.
If it becomes necessary to replace the external auditor for
independence or performance reasons then the committee
will formalise a procedure for the selection and appointment
of the new auditor and make a recommendation to the board.
ASX Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
Continuous disclosure policy
AMP is committed to ensuring that all shareholders and the
market are provided with timely and balanced disclosure of
all material matters concerning AMP. This commitment to
continuous disclosure is set out in AMP’s market disclosure
policy, which is available in the corporate governance section
of AMP’s website.
The guiding principle of the policy is that AMP must
immediately notify the market via an announcement to
the ASX of any information concerning AMP that a reasonable
person would expect to have a ‘material’ effect on the price
or value of AMP securities. The policy permits exceptions
to immediate notifi cation in accordance with the ASX
Listing Rules.
AMP’s Market Disclosure Committee ensures that company
announcements:
– are made in a timely manner
– are factual
–
are expressed in a clear and objective manner that
allows investors to assess the impact of the information
when making investment decisions
do not omit material information.
–
AMP provides commentary on its fi nancial results in an
annual shareholder review and produces an investor report
for each full year and half year. AMP makes presentations of
the full and half year results to the investment community
immediately after the public release of those results.
The board reviewed and updated AMP’s market disclosure
policy in 2013 to address updated ASX guidance on
continuous disclosure.
ASX Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
Communications policy
AMP is committed to transparency and quality in its
communication to shareholders. The group’s approach to
communicating with shareholders and fi nancial markets
is set out in AMP’s market disclosure policy, which is
available in the corporate governance section of AMP’s
website. Information is communicated to shareholders
through the distribution of the annual report, shareholder
review and other communications as required.
Electronic communication
Annual reports, shareholder reviews, notices of meeting and
all other signifi cant information is posted in the shareholder
centre section of AMP’s website as soon as it is disclosed
to the ASX. Presentations of full and half year results are
webcast and the presentation materials are uploaded to the
website. Shareholders can elect to receive all communications
electronically or elect not to receive some communication
materials by visiting amp.com.au/shareholdercentre or by
contacting AMP’s share registry. Benefi cial owners of shares
and other members of the public are encouraged to register
on AMP’s website for free email alerts.
Annual general meeting
All shareholders are encouraged to attend and/or participate in
AMP’s annual general meeting (AGM). The meeting is webcast
live or shareholders can attend in person or appoint a proxy as
their representative. Online completion and lodgement of the
proxy form is also available for all shareholders prior to
the meeting, including via their smartphones.
Directors and senior management attend the AGM, along
with a representative from the external auditor. Full details
of the 2014 AGM are included in the 2014 notice of meeting
and are available in the shareholder section of AMP’s website.
Briefi ngs
AMP follows a calendar of regular disclosures to the ASX on
its fi nancial and operational results. The calendar is in the
shareholder section of AMP’s website and allows users to
set up automatic diary reminders of the dates of upcoming
announcements and presentations.
AMP conducts group and one-on-one briefi ngs in accordance
with its market disclosure policy. Briefi ngs are coordinated
and attended by AMP Investor Relations. Where practical,
AMP webcasts group briefi ngs. Notes of briefi ngs and a
record of those present are retained by Investor Relations.
ASX Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
Enterprise risk management policy
Enterprise risk management framework
The AMP Limited Board has overall responsibility for
establishing a system of risk management, internal controls
and compliance across the business and for monitoring
and reviewing its effectiveness. It also has responsibility for
approving the risk appetite of the AMP group and the risk
management related policies to support that appetite, and
for seeking to ensure these are implemented. A summary
of the enterprise risk management policy, which sets out
the principles, processes, roles and responsibilities for the
management of risk at AMP, is available in the corporate
governance section of AMP’s website.
While the board is responsible for risk management, specifi c
responsibility for the monitoring and evaluation of the
effectiveness of risk management and the internal control
environment has been delegated to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee also oversees AMP’s accounting policies,
reporting practices and production of fi nancial statements and
monitors the application of appropriate management controls.
It considers internal and external audit reports and reviews
AMP’s procedures and internal controls in order to monitor
enterprise-wide risks.
Risk and compliance processes and reporting procedures
provide assurance to the board and Audit Committee that
the preparation of the fi nancial statements and the control
systems underlying them are adequate.
Compliance is a key element of risk management. The
board has overall responsibility for the establishment of
processes to manage compliance with the laws, regulations,
contracts, industry codes, internal standards and policies
applicable to AMP’s operations and for monitoring and
reviewing their effectiveness.
While the board is responsible for AMP’s compliance
framework, specifi c responsibility for the monitoring of
compliance has been delegated to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee oversees the system of compliance
that has been implemented across AMP’s businesses. The
system covers a broad range of legal requirements, duties and
responsibilities. Any compliance issues or incidents are reported
quarterly to the Audit Committee, or more urgently if required.
As required by the Corporations Act 2001, AMP’s Australian
fi nancial services’ licensed entities have confl ict of interest
policies in place to manage confl icts of interest.
Material business risks
Management engages in a regular process to review risks
and how they are being managed. AMP manages risks across
the following four main risk categories:
– strategic risk
– operational risk (including legal and compliance risk)
– fi nancial risk
– product and insurance risk.
Management of material business risks
Risk management structures
The Audit Committee is supported by the risk management
structures which exist throughout the organisation, including
the Group Asset and Liability Committee and the Group Risk
and Compliance Committee. The Audit Committee relies on the
work of the Audit Committees of key operating subsidiaries on
risk and compliance matters relating to those subsidiaries. The
enterprise risk management framework enables the business
to identify and assess risks and controls, respond promptly and
appropriately and continue to monitor risks and issues as they
evolve. Risk and compliance information is reported quarterly
to the Audit Committee, or more regularly if required.
AMP’s risk management structures and procedures are
continually being enhanced or updated. In addition, the internal
audit function provides independent and objective assurance
to the board that risks are being managed effectively across
the group. The chief risk offi cer of the AMP group leads the
enterprise risk management function and has authority to
provide effective challenge to activities and decisions that
may materially impact AMP’s risk profi le.
Management has reported to the board that AMP’s material
business risks have been managed effectively for the year
ended 31 December 2013. The board has assessed and
accepted that report.
The enhancement of the risk management and internal
control systems is the subject of ongoing attention and effort.
Where internal control defi ciencies are identifi ed during the
year, additional tests of procedures or tests of resulting
account balances included in the fi nancial statements are
undertaken to confi rm there has been no material impact
on the fi nancial statements.
Internal audit
AMP’s internal audit function provides the board and executive
management with an independent and objective evaluation of
the adequacy and effectiveness of management’s control over
risk. The internal audit function conducts audits for AMP Limited
and its subsidiaries by following a risk-based planning approach.
The head of internal audit has a functional reporting line to the
chairman of the Audit Committee. Further information about
the internal audit function is set out in this statement under
ASX Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in fi nancial reporting.
CEO and CFO assurance
The board receives regular reports about the fi nancial condition
and operational results of AMP and its controlled entities. The
board has received and considered the annual certifi cation from
the CEO and the CFO in accordance with ASX Recommendation
7.3. The certifi cation states that the declaration provided in
accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 is
founded on a sound system of risk management and internal
control and that the system is operating effectively in all
material respects in relation to fi nancial reporting risks.
ASX Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
People and Remuneration Committee
Membership, attendance and terms of reference
Throughout 2013, the People and Remuneration Committee

Responsibilities
The committee advises the board on the effectiveness, integrity
and legal compliance of AMP’s remuneration policy, plans and
practices. Each year the committee also reviews and reports
on remuneration by gender. Other key responsibilities include
annually reviewing and recommending to the board the
succession planning and talent management approach.
The committee also reviews the AMP group short-term incentive
pools, the total remuneration package, performance objectives
and performance appraisal for the CEO, direct reports of the
CEO and other people whose individual activities may, in the
committee’s opinion, affect the fi nancial soundness of the
AMP group and its key operating subsidiaries. During 2013,
performance evaluations for key executives were carried out
in accordance with the process disclosed in the 2013
remuneration report. The committee has access to advice on
remuneration policies from management, but no individual
is directly involved in deciding their own remuneration. The
committee also engages external consultants as and when
required to assist it in fulfi lling its responsibilities.
Remuneration policy
Comprehensive information on AMP’s remuneration policies
and practices is contained in the remuneration report. AMP
uses a variety of equity-based remuneration arrangements to
align employee interests with shareholders’ long-term interests
and aid in the retention of selected individuals. AMP’s policy on
hedging of equity incentives prohibits employees from using
any hedging arrangements over the restricted shares, share
rights, share bonus rights, options or performance rights
held by employees in any of AMP’s equity incentive plans.
The purpose of the policy is to ensure that the alignment
between employee and shareholder interests is not
undermined by the use of hedging arrangements.
Non-executive directors’ and executives’ remuneration
There is a clear distinction between the remuneration structure
for non-executive directors and executives. Further information
is available in the remuneration report.
The Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing the
remuneration policies for non-executive directors on the AMP
Limited Board and on boards of key operating subsidiaries. The
non-executive directors do not receive options, bonus payments
or retirement benefi ts, other than superannuation.
Details of the termination entitlements of AMP’s key
management personnel are set out in the remuneration report.
AMP also disclosed details of the termination entitlements of
Craig Dunn and Craig Meller to the ASX on announcing their
appointments as Chief Executive Offi cer in September 2007
and August 2013, respectively.
Comparison of NZX and ASX corporate governance rules
As an overseas listed issuer, AMP is deemed to satisfy and
comply with all the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) Listing
Rules so long as it remains listed on the ASX. The only NZX
requirements applicable to AMP are to give the NZX the same
information and notices it is required to give to the ASX and
to include a statement in its annual report.
The ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Recommendations may
differ materially from NZX’s corporate governance rules and the
principles of the NZX Corporate Governance Best Practice Code.
Corporate responsibility at AMP
For more than 160 years, AMP has been dedicated to helping
Australians and New Zealanders create fi nancial security. AMP
provides products and services that enable individuals, families
and organisations to take control and own their tomorrow.
For many people this involves helping them buy a home, pay off
their mortgage, protect themselves and their families in tough
times and make smart savings and investment decisions.
AMP is committed to the enduring sustainability of its business
and the communities it serves, recognising the correlation
between the organisation’s environmental and social impacts,
the quality of its corporate governance, and its long-term
business success.
–
AMP contributes to the sustainability of its business and
the communities that it serves by using its expertise to:
provide high quality fi nancial advice, products and
–
services and investments to individuals and organisations
educate the community on the value of informed
fi nancial decisions
improve its resource effi ciency and minimise its
environmental impact
encourage good corporate governance
invest in the community through the AMP Foundation.
–
–
–
As a signifi cant participant in Australia’s fi nancial services
industry, AMP also actively engages in conversations with the
government and local communities, providing tools, education,
advice and research about both contemporary and future
fi nancial issues and opportunities.
By sharing its expertise, AMP aims to build people’s confi dence
and help them feel in control of their fi nancial future.
Minimising AMP’s environmental impact
AMP is committed to reducing the impact its operations have
on the environment by improving the company’s resource
effi ciency and minimising its carbon footprint. AMP believes
sound environmental management practices make good
business sense and takes an active role in understanding
environmental risks and opportunities for the organisation
including environmental risks associated with investments
managed by AMP Capital.
AMP’s environmental program is coordinated by the
Environment Leadership Team (ELT). The ELT is responsible
for setting targets and developing strategies to reduce AMP’s
environmental impacts. The team meets monthly to review
progress against its key priorities and objectives and progress
is communicated to AMP’s leadership team and the board by
the managing director of AMP Capital.
The ELT’s strategic priorities for 2013 included:
–
achieving a 10 per cent decrease in offi ce-based electricity
emissions year-on-year (YoY)
implementing energy effi ciency initiatives and improving
waste management practices at AMP’s main offi ce buildings
promoting and enabling employee work practices that
improve environmental performance
installing additional video conferencing capacity to reduce
air travel
improving environmental performance monitoring systems
across all buildings
expanding AMP’s carbon offset purchasing program
seeking external assurance of AMP’s 2013 carbon
emissions data.
–
–
–
–
–
–
Further information about the ASX Recommendations may
be obtained from the ASX website: asx.com.au/regulation/
corporate-governance-council.htm.
The ELT was also working towards carbon neutrality for the
AMP group by 31 December 2014, however AMP achieved
carbon neutrality in 2013, 12 months ahead of the target.

AMP’s carbon emissions data for 2013 is provided in the table
below and is calculated in accordance with AMP’s greenhouse
gas reporting criteria. Information on the criteria can be found
in the corporate responsibility section on AMP’s website:
amp.com.au.
In 2013, Scope 2 emissions, associated with offi ce-based
electricity use, decreased by 6 per cent YoY. This was due to
the implementation of energy effi ciency initiatives including
lighting upgrades at major AMP buildings, adjustments to
AMP data centres and consolidation of offi ces.
Scope 3 emissions, associated with air travel, showed a
signifi cant YoY decrease of 15 per cent. This is a result of the
adoption of a more accurate (less conservative) international
calculation method as detailed in the greenhouse gas
reporting criteria.
As part of the environmental program, AMP retired 32,422
carbon offsets in 2013. These offsets were purchased from a
range of projects that deliver environmental and community
based benefi ts and meet the requirements of internationally
recognised verifi cation protocols (VCS, Gold Standard) and the
Australian Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard
(NCOS). Further details on these projects are provided in the
AMP 2013 community report.
In 2014, AMP aims to maintain carbon neutrality and external
assurance of its carbon footprint through an ongoing focus
on energy effi ciency at all major buildings and by reducing
non-essential air travel. AMP will also continue to improve
waste management practices and introduce more sustainable
procurement strategies.
AMP reports annually to the Australian Government’s
Department of Industry and Department of the Environment
on compliance with the Energy Effi ciency Opportunities Act
2006 and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act
2007. AMP reports on environmental performance under
these laws at an AMP Limited level, with AMP Capital making
up a core component of the reporting through its property
and infrastructure divisions. AMP Capital remained an active
founding member of the Investor Group on Climate Change,
engaging with policy-makers on investment-related issues
associated with climate change, and a signatory to the
Carbon Disclosure Project.
Encouraging good corporate governance
AMP Capital is one of the longest standing managers of
responsible investment funds in Australia. As an investor
in companies and assets on behalf of clients, AMP Capital
recognises the strong link between an organisation’s
environmental and social impacts, the quality of its corporate
governance, and its long-term business success.
As a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment since
2007, AMP Capital is committed to integrating environmental,
social and corporate governance factors into its investment
decision-making and active ownership practices, across all
asset classes.
This is achieved through integrating investment guidelines
and policies, investment research and analysis and engaging
with investee boards and management teams on their
corporate governance practices, environmental performance
and relationship with society as a whole. AMP Capital also
engages with boards and management teams on issues
such as executive remuneration, board composition and
risk management, and lodges considered proxy votes on
all resolutions.
Further information on AMP Capital’s environmental,
social, governance and responsible investment philosophy
and activities is available at ampcapital.com.au/esg.
Investing in the community
AMP has a long tradition of supporting the community. In
1992, AMP set up the AMP Foundation which takes a strategic
approach to philanthropy by forming long-term community
partnerships focusing on one or two key areas. Since then, the
AMP Foundation has donated more than $70 million to the
community. In 2013, the AMP Foundation donated more than
$4 million to charities by funding education and employment
programs for disadvantaged young people (focusing on
indigenous students), supporting the non-profi t sector to
operate more effectively and facilitating the volunteering and
fundraising efforts of AMP employees. In 2013, AMP employees
raised more than $870,000 for charity and also volunteered
their time and skills with numerous charities.
Further information on the AMP Foundation’s activities
can be found in the AMP community report at amp.com.au/
ampfoundation.
AMP’s 2013 report on energy effi ciency opportunities and
further information on AMP’s environmental activities,
environmental policy and Carbon Disclosure Project
submission are available on AMP’s website.
AMP Financial Planning and Hillross advisers also provide free
fi nancial planning advice to cancer patients and their families
through an AMP Foundation-funded program with the Cancer
Council New South Wales.

There has been no movement in the Equity contribution reserve established in 2003 to recognise the additional loss on the demerger
of AMP’s UK operations in December 2003. This loss was the difference between the pro-forma loss on demerger (based upon directors’
valuation of the UK operations and the estimated net assets to be demerged) and the market-based fair value of the UK operations
(based upon the share price of the restructured UK operations on listing and the actual net assets of the UK operations on demerger).
The Share-based payment reserve represents the cumulative expense recognised in relation to equity settled share-based payments less
the cost of shares purchased and transferred to share-based payments recipients upon vesting.
The Capital profi ts reserve represents gains attributable to shareholders of AMP on the sale of minority interests in controlled entities
to entities outside the AMP group.
There has been no movement in the Demerger loss reserve established in 2003 to recognise the transfer from shareholders’ retained
earnings of the total loss on the demerger of AMP’s UK operations in December 2003.
Unrealised gains or losses on available for sale fi nancial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income as described in note 1(g)
and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. Upon impairment or disposal, the accumulated change in fair value within the
Available for sale fi nancial assets reserve is recognised within profi t or loss in the Income statement.
The Cash fl ow hedge reserve represents the cumulative impact of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash fl ow hedges
which are effective for hedge accounting. Hedge gains and losses are transferred to the Income statement when they are deemed ineffective
or upon realisation of the cash fl ow.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign controlled entities within the AMP group are recognised in Foreign currency translation
reserve. Exchange gains and losses are transferred to the Income statement upon realisation of the investment in the foreign controlled entity.
The Hedge of net investment reserve refl ects gains and losses on effective hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Hedge gains
and losses are transferred to the Income statement when they are deemed ineffective or upon realisation of the investment in the foreign
controlled entity.
The Owner-occupied property revaluation reserve represents cumulative valuation gains and losses on owner-occupied property required
to be recognised in equity.
10 Dividends paid includes the dividends paid on ‘treasury shares’. Dividends paid on ‘treasury shares’ are required to be excluded from the
consolidated fi nancial statements by adjusting retained earnings.
11 New capital from shares under dividend reinvestment plan $137m (2012: $313m).

Cash fl ows and cash and cash equivalents include amounts attributable to shareholders’ interests, policyholders’ interests in AMP life
insurance entities’ statutory funds and controlled entities of those statutory funds, external unitholders’ interests and non-controlling
interests. Amounts included in respect of AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds and controlled entities of those statutory funds have
a substantial impact on cash fl ows from operating activities and investing activities and proceeds from and repayments of borrowing –
non-banking operations, and cash and cash equivalents balances.
Dividends and distributions received are amounts of cash received mainly from investments held by AMP life insurance entities’ statutory
funds and controlled entities of those statutory funds. Dividends and distributions reinvested have been treated as non-cash items.
Net proceeds from sale of/(payment to acquire) investments in fi nancial assets includes loans and advances made (net of payments) and
purchases of fi nancial assets (net of maturities) during the period by AMP Bank.
Payments to acquire other subsidiaries and other businesses (net of cash acquired) did not have a material impact on the composition of
the AMP group.
The dividends paid amount is presented net of dividend reinvestment plan and dividends on ‘treasury shares’. See Statement of changes
in equity for further information.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies
The consolidated economic entity (the AMP group) comprises
AMP Limited (the parent entity), a company limited by shares,
and incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and all entities that
it controlled during the period and at the reporting date.
(a) Basis of preparation
This general purpose fi nancial report has been prepared in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (AASB), and the Corporations Act 2001. The
AMP group is a for-profi t entity for the purposes of preparing
fi nancial statements. The fi nancial report also complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.
The fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013
were authorised for issue on 20 February 2014 in accordance
with a resolution of the directors.
The signifi cant accounting policies adopted in the preparation
of the fi nancial report are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied to the current year and comparative
period, unless otherwise stated. Where necessary, comparative
information has been reclassifi ed to be consistent with current
period disclosure.
–
The AMP group is predominantly a wealth management
business conducting operations through registered life
insurance companies (AMP life insurance entities) and other
entities. Where permitted under accounting standards, the
assets and liabilities associated with life insurance contracts
and investment contracts are generally measured on a fair value
basis and other assets and liabilities are generally measured on
a historical cost basis.
Assets and liabilities have been presented on the face of the
Statement of fi nancial position in decreasing order of liquidity
and do not distinguish between current and non-current items.
The majority of the assets of the AMP group are investment
assets held to back investment contract and life insurance
contract liabilities. Although the amount of those assets which
may be realised and those liabilities which may be settled
within 12 months of the reporting date are not always known,
estimates of amounts expected to be recovered or settled
(a) no more than 12 months after the reporting date, and
(b) more than 12 months after the reporting date, have been
provided in footnotes to the relevant notes.
Changes in accounting policy
A number of new accounting standards and amendments
have been adopted effective 1 January 2013 which have had
an impact on the fi nancial position or performance of the
AMP group, as set out below:
–
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and revised
AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements. These standards
have changed the criteria for determining which entities
are to be consolidated. As a result of adopting AASB 10,
the following entities within the AMP group, which were
previously not consolidated, are now assessed to be
controlled by the AMP group and have been consolidated
into the results of the AMP group from 1 January 2013,
with retrospective adjustments for 2012:
−
Aged Care Investment Trusts No. 1 and No. 2, and their
controlled entities
AMP Capital China Growth Fund, and its controlled entity
−
− AMP Capital Infrastructure Equity Fund
−
AMP Capital Strategic Infrastructure Trust of
Europe No. 1, No. 2, AMP Capital Investors
(European Infrastructure No. 3) and AMP Capital
Investors (European Infrastructure No. 4), and their
controlled entities
− Australia Pacifi c Airports Fund No. 3
−
AMP Foundation and AMP Foundation Income
Benefi ciary Pty Ltd.
Other than for AMP Foundation and AMP Foundation
Income Benefi ciary Pty Ltd, investments in these entities
are held on behalf of policyholders and the AMP life
entities’ statutory funds recognise a liability to the
policyholders. In certain cases, over time, the amount of
the net assets of the controlled entities recognised in the
consolidated fi nancial statements may not match the
valuation of the relevant liability to the policyholder which
results in certain policyholder asset movements impacting
the profi t attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited.
The consolidation of these additional entities results
in the fi nancial statements of the AMP group recognising
a new class of investments classifi ed as available for sale,
and a new class of owner-occupied property measured
at cost less subsequent depreciation and impairments.
The accounting policies for these assets are set out in
note 1(g) and note 1(j).
Revised AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts. Under the previous
AASB 119, a gain was recognised in profi t or loss for
the expected earnings on the assets of defi ned benefi t
funds, with any difference between the expected
earnings and the actual earnings recognised within
other comprehensive income. Under the revised AASB
119, the amount recognised in profi t or loss in relation
to the assets is measured using the same discount rate
as for the defi ned benefi t liability, rather than expected
earnings. This amount is presented net of the interest cost
of funding the defi ned benefi t liability, which on adoption
results in a net interest expense. In addition, the revised
AASB 119 also requires AMP group to discount the portion
of annual leave expected to be settled beyond 12 months.
However, the impact of this discounting of annual leave is
not material.
Comparatives in the fi nancial statements have been restated
retrospectively for the adoption of AASB 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements and Revised AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts.
A reconciliation of the restated comparatives to the previously
reported amounts in the Income statement, Statement of
other comprehensive income, Statement of fi nancial position
and Statement of cash fl ows is set out in note 29.
The following Australian Accounting Standards and
amendments have also become mandatory for adoption
from 1 January 2013, but have not had any material effect
on the fi nancial position or performance of the AMP group:
–
–
Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.
The changes introduced by the revised AASB 101 relate
to presentation only, and have resulted in items in the
Statement of comprehensive income being segregated
between those that may eventually be realised in the
Income statement in future periods and those that
will not.
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of
Interests in Other Entities, revised AASB 128 Investments
in Associates and Joint Ventures and AASB 2011-7
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Arising
from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards.
These standards have changed the criteria for determining
which entities are to be accounted for using the equity
method in preparing consolidated fi nancial statements
and the required disclosures in relation to consolidated
entities, joint arrangements, joint operations, associates
and structured entities.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement. This standard has
centralised the defi nition and guidance for measuring
fair values where required to be applied by various
other accounting standards and removes some minor
inconsistencies that previously existed between the
guidance for determining fair value in these standards.
The new standard requires quantitative and qualitative
disclosures of all fair value measurements.
AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This standard has amended the
disclosures in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures,
to require information on the effect or potential effect of
netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated
with the group’s recognised fi nancial assets and recognised
fi nancial liabilities.
AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. These amendments have clarifi ed the meaning of
‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set off’ and the
application of AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation,
offsetting criteria to settlement systems which apply to
gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous.
AASB 2012-5 Amendments Arising from the 2009-2011
Annual Improvements Project. These amendments have
clarifi ed the disclosure requirements for segment assets and
liabilities in interim fi nancial statements to align reporting
within interim fi nancial statements to the requirements of
AASB 8 Operating Segments.
AASB 2012-9 Amendment to AASB 1048 arising from the
withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 removes
the requirement to apply Interpretation 1039 relating to
consideration of substantive enactment of major tax bills
in Australia.
AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – transition guidance and other amendments
makes various editorial amendments to a range of
Australian Accounting Standards and amendments to
AASB 10 and related Standards to revise the transition
guidance for initial application of those Standards.
AASB 2013-2 Amendments to AASB 1038 – Regulatory
Capital. This standard amends the life insurance capital
disclosure requirements so as to align the terminology
with that used in the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority’s revised capital requirements which applied
from 1 January 2013.
Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards and amendments
have been issued but are not yet effective. The AMP group
has not elected to early adopt any of these new standards or
amendments in this fi nancial report. These new standards
and amendments, when applied in future periods, are not
expected to have a material impact on the fi nancial position or
performance of the AMP group, other than as set out below:
–
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure
Requirements and additions to Corporations Regulations
2001, Regulation 2M.3.03. The revised amendments to
AASB 124 remove individual key management personnel
disclosures. The revised AASB 124 is mandatory for adoption
by the AMP group in the year ending 31 December 2014.
The changes to AASB 124 relate to disclosure only and are
not expected to have a fi nancial impact on the AMP group.
(b) Principles of consolidation
The fi nancial statements consolidate the fi nancial information
of controlled entities. The adoption, effective 1 January 2013,
of AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and revised AASB
127 Separate Financial Statements, has changed the criteria for
determining control. Previously, control was assessed based on
when AMP Limited had the power to govern the operating and
fi nancing policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its
activities. Since 1 January 2013, an entity is controlled when
AMP Limited is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from
its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over the investee.
The fi nancial information for controlled entities is prepared for
the same reporting date as the parent entity, using consistent
accounting policies. Where dissimilar accounting policies may
exist, adjustments are made to ensure conformity with the
group’s accounting policies.
Consolidation principles require the total amounts of
each underlying asset, liability, income and expense of the
controlled entities to be recognised in the consolidated fi nancial
statements. When a controlled managed investment scheme is
consolidated, the share of the unitholder liability attributable
to the AMP group is eliminated but amounts due to external
unitholders remain as liabilities in the consolidated Statement
of fi nancial position. The share of the net assets of controlled
entities attributable to non-controlling interests is disclosed
as a separate line item on the Statement of fi nancial position.
In the Income statement, the profi t or loss of the AMP group is
allocated between profi t or loss attributable to non-controlling
interests and profi t or loss attributable to shareholders of the
parent entity.
Controlled entities acquired are accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting. Information from the
fi nancial statements of controlled entities is included from the
date the parent entity obtains control until such time as control
ceases. Where the AMP group ceases to control an entity, the
consolidated fi nancial statements include the results for the
part of the reporting period during which the parent entity
had control.
Most acquisitions and disposals of controlled entities are in
relation to managed investment schemes with underlying net
assets typically comprising investment assets and cash. The
consideration for acquisitions or disposals refl ects the fair
value of the investment assets at the date of the transactions
after taking into account non-controlling interests.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments. This standard makes
signifi cant changes to the way fi nancial assets are classifi ed
for the purpose of determining their measurement basis
and also to the amounts relating to fair value changes which
are to be taken directly to equity. This standard also makes
signifi cant changes to hedge accounting requirements and
disclosures. This standard is mandatory for adoption by the
AMP group for the year ending 31 December 2017; however
early application is permitted in certain circumstances. The
fi nancial impact to the AMP group of adopting AASB 9 has
not yet been quantifi ed.
All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated
in full, including unrealised profi ts arising from intra-group
transactions.
Consolidation impact of investments of the AMP life
insurance entities
AMP life insurance entities conduct wealth management
business through separate life statutory funds. Income,
expenses, assets and liabilities attributable to policyholders
within the life statutory funds are consolidated into the AMP
group fi nancial statements, along with those attributable
to the shareholders of the parent entity.
–
48
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
The majority of the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory
funds’ investments are held through controlling interests in
a number of managed investment schemes and companies.
These investment assets are held on behalf of policyholders
and the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds recognise a
liability to the policyholders valued as described in note 1(s) for
Life insurance contract liabilities, and note 1(t) for Investment
contract liabilities. In certain cases, the amount of the net
assets of the controlled entities recognised in the consolidated
fi nancial statements may not match the valuation of the
relevant liabilities to the policyholders, which results in certain
policyholder asset movements impacting the profi t attributable
to shareholders of AMP Limited.
Certain controlled entities of the AMP life insurance entities’
statutory funds are operating companies which carry out
business operations unrelated to the core wealth management
operations of the AMP group.
Securitisation vehicles
The banking operation of the AMP group sells mortgage loans
to securitisation vehicles (also referred to as special purpose
entities) through its loan securitisation program. These
securitisation vehicles are controlled by the AMP group and
are therefore consolidated.
(c) Accounting for wealth management and life
insurance business
The accounting treatment of certain transactions in this
fi nancial report varies, depending on the nature of the
contract underlying the transactions. The two major contract
classifi cations relevant to the wealth management and
insurance business of the AMP group are investment
contracts and life insurance contracts.
For the purposes of this fi nancial report, holders of investment
contracts or life insurance contracts are collectively and
individually referred to as policyholders.
Investment contracts
The majority of the business of the AMP life insurance entities
relates to wealth management products such as savings,
investment-linked and retirement income policies. The
nature of this business is that the AMP life insurance entities
receive deposits from policyholders and those funds are
invested on behalf of the policyholders. With the exception
of fi xed retirement income policies, the resulting liability to
policyholders is linked to the performance and value of the
assets that back those liabilities. For fi xed retirement income
policies, the resulting liability is linked to the fair value of
the fi xed retirement income payments and associated
management services.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, such contracts
are defi ned as life investment contracts and described as
investment contracts throughout this fi nancial report.
Life insurance contracts
AMP life insurance entities also issue contracts that transfer
signifi cant insurance risk from the policyholder, covering death,
disability or longevity of the insured. In addition, there are some
policies known as discretionary participating contracts, that are
similar to investment contracts, but the timing of the vesting of
the profi t attributable to the policyholders is at the discretion of
the AMP life insurance entities.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, such contracts are
defi ned as life insurance contracts.
Assets measurement basis
Investment contract liabilities are measured at fair value as
described in note 1(t) and life insurance contract liabilities
are measured as described in note 1(s). Assets backing such
liabilities are measured at fair value, to the extent permitted
under Australian Accounting Standards. Realised and unrealised
gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value are
recognised in the Income statement, to the extent permitted
under Australian Accounting Standards. The accounting policies
for individual asset classes are described later in note 1.
All assets that back investment contract liabilities and life
insurance contract liabilities are included within the AMP
life insurance entities’ statutory funds and, as such, are
separately identifi able.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash-on-hand that
is available on demand and deposits that are held at call
with fi nancial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are
measured at fair value, being the principal amount. For
the purpose of the Statement of cash fl ows, Cash and cash
equivalents also includes other highly liquid investments
not subject to signifi cant risk of change in value, with short
periods to maturity, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank
overdrafts are shown within Borrowings in the Statement of
fi nancial position.
(e) Receivables
Receivables that back investment contract liabilities and life
insurance contract liabilities are designated as fi nancial assets
measured at fair value through profi t or loss. Reinsurance and
other recoveries are discounted to present value. Receivables
that do not back investment contract and life insurance contract
liabilities are measured at nominal amounts due, less any
allowance for doubtful debts. An allowance for doubtful debts
is recognised when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Given the
short-term nature of most receivables, the recoverable amount
approximates fair value.
(f) Inventories
Assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the
process of production for such sale or in the form of materials
or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the
rendering of services are classifi ed as inventories.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
(g) Investments in fi nancial assets
Investments in fi nancial assets measured at fair value through
profi t or loss
Investments in fi nancial assets designated on initial recognition
as fi nancial assets measured at fair value through profi t or
loss are initially recognised at fair value determined as the
purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in profi t or loss. Any
realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent
measurement at fair value are recognised in the Income
statement in the period in which they arise.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of investments
measured at fair value through profi t or loss is determined
as follows:
–
the fair value of listed equity securities traded in an active
market and listed managed investment schemes refl ects
the quoted bid price at the reporting date. In the case of
equity securities and listed managed investment schemes
where there is no active market, fair value is established
using valuation techniques including the use of recent arm’s
length transactions, references to other instruments that are
substantially the same, discounted cash fl ow analysis and
option pricing models

the fair value of listed debt securities refl ects the bid price
at the reporting date. Listed debt securities that are not
frequently traded are valued by discounting estimated
recoverable amounts. The fair value of unlisted debt
securities is estimated using interest rate yields obtainable
on comparable listed investments. The fair value of loans
is determined by discounting the estimated recoverable
amount using prevailing interest rates
the fair value of investments in unlisted managed
investment schemes is determined on the basis of published
redemption prices of those managed investment schemes
at the reporting date
there is no reduction for realisation costs in determining
fair value
the fair value of derivative fi nancial assets is determined
in accordance with the policy set out in note 1(q).
Investments in available for sale fi nancial assets
Available for sale investments are initially recognised at fair
value determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive
of any transaction costs. Transaction costs are expensed as
incurred in profi t or loss. Unrealised gains or losses arising from
subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised as Other
comprehensive income in the Available for sale fi nancial assets
reserve in the period in which they arise. Testing for impairment
is conducted in accordance with note 1(l). Upon impairment
or disposal, the accumulated change in fair value within the
available for sale fi nancial assets reserve is recognised within
profi t or loss in the Income statement.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of available
for sale investments is determined on the same basis as for
fi nancial assets measured at fair value through profi t or loss.
Investments in fi nancial assets measured at amortised cost
Investments in fi nancial assets measured at amortised cost
are mainly assets of AMP Bank. Loans, advances and other
receivables which arise when AMP Bank provides money directly
to a customer, including loans and advances to advisers, with
no intention of trading the fi nancial assets, are measured
at amortised cost. All other debt securities held by AMP
Bank are classifi ed as held to maturity investments. Held to
maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fi xed or
determinable payments and fi xed maturities that management
has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Investments in fi nancial assets measured at amortised cost are
initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the fi nancial
asset. These assets are subsequently recognised at amortised
cost using the effective interest rate method.
Investments in controlled entities
Investments by the parent entity in controlled entities are
measured at cost (which, in the case of the investment in AMP
Group Holdings Limited, was determined as net asset value on
demutualisation) less any accumulated impairment losses.
(h) Investments in associates accounted for using the
equity method
Associated entities are defi ned as those entities over which
the AMP group has signifi cant infl uence but there is no
capacity to control. Investments in associates, other than
those backing investment contract liabilities and life insurance
contract liabilities, are initially measured at cost plus any
excess of the fair value of AMP’s share of identifi able assets
and liabilities above cost at acquisition date subsequently
adjusted for AMP group’s share of post-acquisition profi t or
loss and movements in reserves net of any impairment. AMP
group’s share of profi t or loss of associates is included in the
consolidated Income statement. Any dividend or distribution
50
received from associates is accounted for as a reduction in
carrying value of the associate.
Investments in associates held to back investment contract
liabilities and life insurance contract liabilities are exempt
from the requirement to apply equity accounting and have
been designated on initial recognition as fi nancial assets
measured at fair value through profi t or loss.
(i) Investment property
Investment property is held to earn revenue from rentals
and/or for the purposes of capital appreciation. Investment
property includes all directly held freehold and leasehold
properties but excludes owner-occupied properties. See
note 1(j). There are no property interests held under operating
leases accounted for as investment property.
Investment property is initially recognised at cost, including
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment
property is measured at fair value.
Changes in value of investment property are taken directly to
the Income statement and may comprise changes in the fair
value from revaluation of investment property, and fair value
adjustments in relation to:
–
–
the straight-lining of fi xed rental income
tenant incentives including rent free periods and
landlord and tenant owned fi t-out contributions
capitalised leasing fees.
–
The process adopted to determine fair values for investment
properties is set out in note 11.
( j) Property, plant and equipment
Owner-occupied property
Under Australian Accounting Standards, where the whole or
a signifi cant portion of a property owned by the AMP group is
held for use by the AMP group in the production or supply of
goods or services, or for administrative purposes, that property
is classifi ed for accounting purposes as owner-occupied property
within Property, plant and equipment in the Statement of
fi nancial position.
Owner-occupied property held by the AMP group for
administrative purposes is initially recognised at cost, including
transaction costs, and is subsequently measured at the revalued
amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation, less
any subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. Fair value is determined on the same basis
as investment property in note 11.
Owner-occupied property assets used in the business
operations of aged-care facilities, held as investments on behalf
of policyholders of AMP life insurance entities controlled by
AMP group, are primarily used to earn income from the supply
of services. This class of owner-occupied property is initially
recognised at cost, including transaction costs and subsequently
measured at cost.
When a revaluation increases the carrying value of a property,
the increase is recognised directly in Other comprehensive
income through the owner-occupied property revaluation
reserve. However, an increase is recognised in the Income
statement to the extent that the amount reverses a revaluation
decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the Income
statement. When the carrying value of an asset is decreased as a
result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognised in the Income
statement. However, any decrease is recognised in the Owner-
occupied property revaluation reserve to the extent that it
reverses a balance existing in the reserve in respect of that asset.
Gains or losses on disposals are measured as the difference
between proceeds and the carrying amount and are recognised
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
in the Income statement. The balance of the owner-occupied
property revaluation reserve, in respect of a property disposed
of, is transferred to retained earnings.
Each part of an owner-occupied property, except land, that is
signifi cant in relation to the total property is depreciated on a
systematic basis over the useful life of the asset, being a period
not exceeding 40 years.
To the extent owner-occupied property is held by the life
insurance entities’ statutory funds, the amounts recognised
for the asset in the consolidated fi nancial statements may
not match the valuation of the relevant liability to the
policyholder, which results in certain policyholder asset
movements impacting the profi t attributable to shareholders
of AMP Limited.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is initially measured at cost, including
transaction costs. It is subsequently measured at cost less
any subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. The written down amount approximates
fair value.
Each item of plant and equipment is depreciated on a
systematic basis over the useful life of the asset of 3–10 years.
Leasehold improvements
Leasehold improvements are recognised as an asset only when
it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the
asset will fl ow to AMP group and the cost of the item can be
reliably measured.
(k) Intangible assets
Goodwill
When the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration
transferred in a business combination, the recognised amount of
any non-controlling interest and the fair value of any previously
held equity interest in the acquiree exceeds the fair value of the
identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the excess
is recognised as goodwill. Subsequently, goodwill is measured
at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not
subject to amortisation.
Capitalised costs
Costs are capitalised and carried forward only where the costs
relate to the creation of an asset with expected future economic
benefi ts which are capable of reliable measurement. Otherwise,
all costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they
are incurred. Capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, commencing
at the time the asset is fi rst put into use or held ready for
use (whichever is the earlier). The useful lives of such assets
generally do not exceed fi ve years; however a useful life of up to
10 years has been applied to some capitalised costs relating to
IT systems development projects where the AMP group expects
benefi ts to fl ow over a longer period.
Value of in-force business
An intangible asset is recognised in a business combination
for the fair value of future business arising from the existing
contractual arrangements of the acquired businesses with its
customers. The value of in-force business is measured initially at
fair value and is subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis
over its useful life. Value of in-force business has a useful life of
10 years for wealth management and distribution business and
20 years for wealth protection and mature business.
customer lists, fi nancial planner client servicing rights or
other distribution related rights other than through a business
combination. Distribution networks are measured initially at
fair value and subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis
over their useful lives of 3−15 years.
Financial planner client servicing rights held for sale in the
ordinary course of business are classifi ed as inventories and
accounted for as described in note 1(f).
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets comprise:
–
amounts recognised in a business combination for
the value of the software assets of the acquired entity
where it is expected that future economic benefi ts will be
derived. Software is recognised initially at fair value and
is subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over
its useful life. Software has a useful life of 2−4 years.
Software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred
acquired management rights relating to AMP’s asset
management business. For closed ended funds where
AMP cannot be removed as manager, these management
rights have an indefi nite useful life and are not amortised.
–
2012 included aged-care bed licences granted by government
agencies that did not have an expiry date and for which there
was no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets
were expected to generate net cash infl ows for AMP group. AMP
group ceased to control the entities which held the aged-care
bed licences during the 2013 year.
Reassessment of useful life
The useful life of each intangible asset is reviewed at the end
of the period and, where necessary, adjusted to refl ect current
assessments.
(l) Impairment of assets
Assets measured at fair value, where changes in fair value
are refl ected in the Income statement, are not subject to
impairment testing. As a result, fi nancial assets measured
at fair value through profi t or loss, and investment properties,
are not subject to impairment testing.
Other assets such as: available for sale investments; investments
in fi nancial assets measured at amortised cost; property,
plant and equipment; intangible assets including goodwill;
investments in associates accounted for using the equity
method; and (in the case of the parent entity) investments
in controlled entities, are subject to impairment testing.
For available for sale investments, where there is objective
evidence that an investment is impaired, an impairment is
recognised in the Income statement, measured as the difference
between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment
and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment
loss previously recognised in profi t or loss. Impairment losses
for equity instruments are not reversed. Impairment losses
for debt instruments are reversed only to the extent of a
subsequent increase in fair value which can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment.
For loans, advances, held to maturity investments and other
receivables, impairment is recognised in the Income statement
when there is objective evidence a loss has been incurred,
measured as the difference between the carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows,
discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Distribution networks
An intangible asset is recognised in a business combination
for the fair value of the existing contractual distribution
arrangements of the acquired entity. Distribution networks
intangibles are also recognised where the AMP group acquires
For other assets, impairment is recognised in the Income
statement, measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use.

Notes to the fi nancial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
Intangible assets that have indefi nite useful lives, such as
goodwill, are not subject to amortisation but are tested at
least annually for impairment. Other assets are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purposes of assessing impairment of goodwill, assets
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifi able cash fl ows (cash-generating units). Impairment
is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates.
(m) Taxes
Tax consolidation
AMP Limited and its wholly-owned controlled entities
which are Australian-domiciled companies comprise a tax-
consolidated group of which AMP Limited is the head entity.
Following the AMP group’s sale of 15 per cent ownership
interest in AMP Capital Holdings Limited (AMPCH) on 1 March
2012, AMPCH and its wholly-owned controlled entities which
are Australian-domiciled companies left the AMP Limited tax-
consolidated group and formed their own tax-consolidated
group of which AMPCH is the head entity.
The implementation date for the AMP Limited tax-consolidated
group was 30 June 2003.
Under tax consolidation, the head entity assumes the following
balances from entities within the tax-consolidated group:
–
current tax balances arising from external transactions
recognised by entities in the tax-consolidated group,
occurring after the implementation date
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses
and unused tax credits recognised by entities in the
tax-consolidated group.
–
A tax funding agreement has been entered into by the head
entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated
group. Entities in the tax-consolidated group continue to be
responsible, by the operation of the tax funding agreement, for
funding tax payments required to be made by the head entity
arising from underlying transactions of the controlled entities.
Controlled entities make (receive) contributions to (from) the
head entity for the balances assumed by the head entity, as
described above. The contributions are calculated in accordance
with the tax funding agreement. The contributions are payable
as set out in the agreement and refl ect the timing of the
respective head entities’ obligations to make payments to
the Australian Taxation Offi ce.
Assets and liabilities which arise as a result of balances
transferred from entities within the tax-consolidated group
to the head entity are recognised as related-party balances
receivable and payable in the Statement of fi nancial position
of AMP Limited. The recoverability of balances arising from
the tax funding arrangements is based on the ability of the
tax-consolidated group to utilise the amounts recognised
by the head entity.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense/credit is the tax payable on taxable income
for the current period based on the income tax rate for each
jurisdiction and adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets
and liabilities attributable to:
–
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their Statement of fi nancial position
carrying amounts
unused tax losses
the impact of changes in the amounts of deferred tax assets
and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates or in the
manner in which these balances are expected to be realised.
–
–
52
Adjustments to income tax expense/credit are also made
for any differences between the amounts paid or expected
to be paid in relation to prior periods and the amounts
provided for these periods at the start of the current period.
Any tax impact on income and expense items that are
recognised directly in equity is also recognised directly
in equity.
Income tax for investment contracts business and life
insurance contracts business
The income tax expense recognised in the Income statement
of AMP group which arises in respect of the AMP life
insurance entities refl ects tax imposed on shareholders
as well as policyholders.
Investment contracts liabilities and life insurance contracts
liabilities are established in Australia net, and in New Zealand
gross, of the policyholders’ share of any current tax payable
and deferred tax balances of the AMP group.
Arrangements made with some superannuation funds result
in the AMP life insurance entities making payments to the
Australian Taxation Offi ce in relation to contributions tax
arising in those funds. The amounts paid are recognised as
a decrease in investment contract liabilities and not included
in income tax expense.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for
temporary differences at the tax rates which are expected to
apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled,
based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively
enacted for each jurisdiction.
The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative
amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences
to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception
is made for certain temporary differences arising from the
initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax
asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary
differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a
business combination, that at the time of the transaction did
not affect either accounting profi t or taxable profi t or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those
temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for
temporary differences between the carrying amount and
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the
parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax, including amounts in respect of investment
contracts and life insurance contracts, is not discounted
to present value.
Goods and services tax
The AMP group operates across a number of tax jurisdictions
and offers products and services that may be subject to
various forms of goods and services tax (GST) imposed by
local tax authorities.
All income, expenses and assets are recognised net of any
GST paid, except where they relate to products and services
which are input taxed for GST purposes or where the GST
incurred is not recoverable from the relevant tax authorities.
In such circumstances, the GST paid is recognised as part
of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the
relevant expense.
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
Receivables and payables are measured with the amount
of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or
payable to the tax authorities is included as either a receivable
or payable in the Statement of fi nancial position.
of directly attributable transaction costs. For borrowings and
subordinated debt which are subsequently measured at fair
value through profi t or loss, directly attributable transaction
costs are expensed.
Cash fl ows are reported on a gross basis refl ecting any GST
paid or collected. The GST component of cash fl ows arising
from investing or fi nancing activities which are recoverable
from, or payable to, local tax authorities are classifi ed as
Operating cash fl ows.
(n) Payables
Payables are measured at the nominal amount payable. Given
the short-term nature of most payables, the nominal amount
payable approximates fair value.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when:
–
the AMP group has a present obligation
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event
it is probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying
economic benefi ts will be required to settle the
obligation, and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation.
–
–
Where the AMP group expects some or all of a provision
to be reimbursed, eg under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the Income
statement net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of
management’s best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. For
provisions other than employee entitlements, the discount
rate used to determine the present value refl ects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specifi c to the liability.
Employee entitlements
Liabilities arising in respect of salaries and wages and
any other employee entitlements expected to be settled
within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at
their nominal amounts. All other employee entitlements
are measured at the present value of the estimated future
cash outfl ows to be made in respect of services provided
by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the
present value of future cash outfl ows, discount rates are
determined with reference to market yields at the end of
the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds or, in
countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, using
market yields at the end of the period on government bonds.
Restructuring
A restructuring provision is only recognised when it is
probable that future costs will be incurred in respect of
a fundamental reorganisation or change in focus of the
business of the AMP group. A provision is recognised when
the AMP group is demonstrably committed to the expenditure
and a reliable estimate of the costs involved can be made.
The provision is measured as the best estimate of the
incremental, direct expenditures to be incurred as a result
of the restructure and does not include costs associated with
the ongoing activities of the AMP group.
(p) Borrowings and subordinated debt
All borrowings and subordinated debt are fi nancial liabilities
and are initially recognised at fair value. In the case of
borrowings and subordinated debt which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost, initial fair value is calculated net
Borrowings and subordinated debt, other than those held by
controlled entities of the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory
funds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and
the redemption amount is recognised in the Income statement
over the period of the contract using the effective interest rate
method. It is AMP’s policy to hedge currency and interest rate
risk arising on issued bonds and subordinated debt. When
fair value hedge accounting is applied to borrowings and
subordinated debt, the carrying amounts of borrowings and
subordinated debt are adjusted for changes in fair value for the
period that the fair value hedge relationship remains effective.
See note 1(q).
Borrowings of certain controlled managed investment schemes
of the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds are measured
at amortised cost for the purpose of determining the unit price
of those schemes. These borrowings are measured at amortised
cost in this fi nancial report with any difference between the
proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount
recognised in the Income statement over the period of the
contract using the effective interest rate method.
All other borrowings of the controlled entities of the statutory
funds are subsequently measured at fair value with movements
recognised in the Income statement.
(q) Derivative fi nancial assets, derivative fi nancial liabilities
and hedging
The AMP group is exposed to changes in interest rates and
foreign exchange rates as well as movements in the fair
value of investment guarantees it has issued in respect of its
products. To mitigate the risks arising from these exposures,
the AMP group uses derivative fi nancial instruments such
as cross-currency and interest-rate swaps, forward rate
agreements, futures, options and foreign currency contracts.
Derivative fi nancial instruments are also used to gain
exposure to various markets for asset and liability
management purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value exclusive of any
transactions costs on the date on which a derivative contract
is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair
value at the end of each reporting period. All derivatives are
recognised as assets when their fair value is positive and as
liabilities when their fair value is negative.
The method of recognising the movement in fair value
depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging
instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The AMP group designates a hedge as either:
–
a hedge of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities
or a fi rm commitment (fair value hedge)
a hedge of highly probable forecast transactions
(cash fl ow hedge), or
a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation
(net investment hedge).
–
–
AMP group documents the relationship between hedging
instruments and hedged items at inception of the transaction,
as well as the AMP group’s risk management and strategy for
undertaking various hedge transactions. The AMP group also
documents its assessment of whether the derivatives used in
hedging transactions have been, and will continue to be, highly
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash fl ows of
hedged items. This assessment is carried out both at hedge
inception and on an ongoing basis.

1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
Accounting for hedges
(i) Fair value hedges:
–
–
–
to the extent that a hedge is effective, changes in the
fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify
as fair value hedges are recognised in the Income
statement together with any changes in the fair value
of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to
the hedged risk
the gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion
of a hedge is recognised immediately in the Income
statement
if a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of
a hedged item, for which the effective interest method
is used, is amortised to the Income statement over the
period until the forecast transaction occurs.
(ii) Cash fl ow hedges:
–
–
–
–
the effective portion of changes in the fair value of
derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash fl ow
hedges is recognised through Other comprehensive
income in the Cash fl ow hedge reserve in equity. The
balance of the Cash fl ow hedge reserve in relation to
each particular hedge is transferred to the Income
statement in the period when the hedged item affects
profi t or loss
the gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion
of a hedge is recognised immediately in the Income
statement
hedge accounting is discontinued when a hedging
instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when
a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting. The cumulative gain or loss existing in
equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised
when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised
in the Income statement
when a forecast transaction is no longer expected to
occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported
in equity is immediately transferred to the Income
statement.
(iii) Net investment hedges:
–
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation,
including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted
for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in
a similar way to cash fl ow hedges. Gains and losses
on the hedging instrument relating to the effective
portion of the hedge are recognised (including related
tax impacts) through Other comprehensive income
in the Hedge of net investment reserve, while any
gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of
the hedge are recognised in profi t or loss. On disposal
of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any
such gains or losses recognised directly in equity is
transferred to the Income statement.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative fi nancial instruments do not qualify
for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any
derivative fi nancial instrument that does not qualify for
hedge accounting are recognised in the Income statement
in the period in which they arise.
Fair value estimation
The fair value of fi nancial instruments traded in active
markets (such as publicly traded derivatives) is based on
quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted
market price for fi nancial assets is the current bid price;
the quoted market price for fi nancial liabilities is the
current offer price.
The fair value of fi nancial instruments not traded in an
active market (eg over-the-counter derivatives) is determined
using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net
present value techniques, option pricing models, discounted
cash fl ow methods and comparison to quoted market prices
or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
(r)
Recognition and de-recognition of fi nancial assets
and liabilities
Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are recognised at
the date the AMP group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-
recognised when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from
the fi nancial assets expire, or are transferred. A transfer occurs
when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of the fi nancial asset are passed to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation
specifi ed in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(s) Life insurance contract liabilities
The fi nancial reporting methodology used to determine
the fair value of life insurance contract liabilities is referred
to as margin on services (MoS).
Under MoS, the excess of premium received over claims
and expenses (the margin) is recognised over the life of the
contract in a manner that refl ects the pattern of risk accepted
from the policyholder (the service). The planned release of this
margin is included in the movement in life insurance contract
liabilities recognised in the Income statement.
Life insurance contract liabilities are usually determined
using a projection method, whereby estimates of policy cash
fl ows (premiums, benefi ts, expenses and profi t margins to be
released in future periods) are projected using best-estimate
assumptions about the future. The liability is calculated as
the net present value of these projected cash fl ows. When
the benefi ts under a life insurance contract are linked to the
assets backing it, the discount rate applied is based on the
expected future earnings rate of those assets. Where the
benefi ts are not linked to the performance of the backing
assets, a risk-free discount rate is used. The risk-free discount
rate is based on the zero coupon government bond rate and a
liquidity margin, which depends on the nature, structure and
terms of the contract liabilities.
An accumulation method may be used if it produces results
that are not materially different from those produced by
a projection method. A modifi ed accumulation method is
used for some discretionary participating business, where
the life insurance liability is the accumulation of amounts
invested by policyholders, less fees specifi ed in the policy, plus
investment earnings and vested benefi ts, adjusted to allow
for the fact that crediting rates are determined by reference
to investment income over a period of greater than one year.
The accumulation method may be adjusted to the extent that
acquisition expenses are to be recovered from future margins
between fees and expenses.
Allocation of operating profi t and unvested
policyholder benefi ts
The operating profi t arising from discretionary participating
contracts is allocated between shareholders and participating
policyholders by applying the MoS principles in accordance
with the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Life Act) and, for The
National Mutual Life Association (NMLA), the Memorandum
of Demutualisation.
Once profi t is allocated to participating policyholders it can
only be distributed to these policyholders. Any distribution
of this profi t to shareholders is only allowed for overseas
business with specifi c approval of the regulators.
54
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
Profi t allocated to participating policyholders is recognised in
the Income statement as an increase in policy liabilities. Both
the element of this profi t that has not yet been allocated to
specifi c policyholders (ie unvested) and that which has been
allocated to specifi c policyholders by way of bonus distributions
(ie vested) are included within life insurance contract liabilities.
Bonus distributions to participating policyholders are merely
a change in the nature of the liability from unvested to vested
and, as such, do not alter the amount of profi t attributable
to shareholders.
The principles of allocation of the profi t arising from
discretionary participating business are as follows:
(i)
Investment income (net of tax and investment expenses)
on retained earnings in respect of discretionary
participating business is allocated between policyholders
and shareholders in proportion to the balances of
policyholders’ and shareholders’ retained earnings.
This proportion is, mostly, 80 per cent policyholders
and 20 per cent shareholders.
–
–
(ii) Other MoS profi ts arising from discretionary participating
business are allocated 80 per cent to policyholders and
20 per cent to shareholders, with the following exceptions:
–
the profi t arising from New Zealand corporate
superannuation business is apportioned such that
shareholders are allocated 15 per cent of the profi t
allocated to policyholders
the profi t arising in respect of Preservation
Superannuation Account business is allocated 92.5 per
cent to policyholders and 7.5 per cent to shareholders
the profi ts arising from NMLA’s discretionary
participating investment account business where
100 per cent of investment profi t is allocated to
policyholders and 100 per cent of any other profi t or
loss is allocated to shareholders, with the over-riding
provision being that at least 80 per cent of any profi t
and not more than 80 per cent of any loss be allocated
to policyholders’ retained profi ts of the relevant
statutory fund
the underwriting profi t arising in respect of
NMLA’s Participating Business Super Risk business
is allocated 90 per cent to policyholders and 10 per
cent to shareholders
for AMP Life, additional tax on taxable income to
shareholders in respect of Australian superannuation
business is allocated to shareholders only.
(iii) All profi ts arising from non-participating business,
–
–
including net investment returns on shareholder capital
and retained earnings in life entities’ statutory funds
(excluding retained earnings dealt with in (i) above),
are allocated to shareholders.
Allocation of expenses within the life insurance entities’
statutory funds
All operating expenses relating to the life insurance contract
and investment contract activities are apportioned between
acquisition, maintenance and investment management
expenses. Expenses which are directly attributable to an
individual life insurance contract or investment contract or
product are allocated directly to a particular expense category,
fund, class of business and product line as appropriate.
Where expenses are not directly attributable, they are
appropriately apportioned, according to detailed expense
analysis, with due regard for the objective in incurring that
expense and the outcome achieved. The apportionment
basis has been made in accordance with Actuarial Standards
and on an equitable basis to the different classes of business
in accordance with the Life Act.
The costs apportioned to life insurance contracts are
included in the determination of margin described above.
Investment management expenses of the life statutory
funds are classifi ed as operating expenses. See note 1(aa).
(t) Investment contract liabilities
An investment contract consists of a fi nancial instrument
and an investment management services element, both
of which are measured at fair value. With the exception of
fi xed retirement-income policies, the resulting liability to
policyholders is closely linked to the performance and value
of the assets (after tax) that back those liabilities. The fair
value of such liabilities is therefore the same as the fair value
of those assets (after tax charged to the policyholders) except
where accounting standards prevent those assets from being
measured at fair value.
For fi xed retirement-income policies, the fi nancial instrument
element of the liability is the fair value of the fi xed retirement-
income payments, being their net present value using a
fair value discount rate. The fair value of the associated
management services element is the net present value,
using a fair value discount rate, of all expenses associated
with the provision of services and any profi t margins thereon.
(u) Contributed equity
Issued capital
Issued capital in respect of ordinary shares is recognised as
the fair value of consideration received by the parent entity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of certain
new shares are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds.
Treasury shares
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
has granted relief from restrictions in the Corporations Act 2001
to allow AMP’s life insurance entities to hold and trade shares
in AMP Limited as part of the policyholder funds’ investment
activities. These shares (defi ned by Australian Accounting
Standards as treasury shares) are held on behalf of policyholders
and, as a result, the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory
funds also recognise a corresponding liability to policyholders.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, the AMP group
cannot recognise ‘treasury shares’ in the consolidated
Statement of fi nancial position. These assets, plus any
corresponding Income statement fair value movement
on the assets and dividend income, are eliminated when
the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds are consolidated
into the AMP group. The cost of the investment in the shares
is deducted to arrive at the amount of contributed equity.
However, the corresponding investment contract and life
insurance contract liabilities, and related Income statement
change in the liabilities, remain on consolidation. At the AMP
group consolidated level, this mismatch results in policyholder
asset movements impacting the profi t attributable to
shareholders of AMP Limited.
The AMP Foundation also holds AMP Limited shares. These
assets, plus any corresponding Income statement fair value
amount on the assets and any dividend income, are also
eliminated on consolidation of the AMP Foundation into AMP
group. As the net assets and profi t of the AMP Foundation
Trust are fully attributable to non-controlling interests, this
has no impact on the net assets or profi t attributable to the
shareholders of AMP Limited.
(v) Foreign currency transactions
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated fi nancial report is presented in Australian
dollars (the presentation currency). Items included in the
AMP 2013 annual report
55
Notes to the fi nancial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
fi nancial statements for each of the AMP group entities
are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (the functional
currency). The functional currency of the parent entity is
Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Income and expense items denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency are translated at the spot exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date, with
exchange gains and losses recognised in the Income statement.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled entities
Where the functional currency of a controlled entity is not the
presentation currency, the transactions and balances of that
entity are translated as follows:
–
income and expenses are translated at average exchange
rates, unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction
dates. In this case, income and expenses are translated at
the dates of the transactions
assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at
the reporting date
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in
Other comprehensive income in the foreign currency
translation reserve.
–
–
When a foreign operation is sold, the cumulative amount in the
foreign currency translation reserve relating to that operation is
recognised in the Income statement as part of the gain or loss
on sale. If a portion of the operation is sold, the proportionate
share of the cumulative amount is recognised.
(w) Insurance premium and related revenue
Life insurance contracts
Life insurance contract premiums are separated into their
revenue and deposit components. Premium amounts earned
by bearing insurance risks are recognised as revenue. Other
premium amounts received, which are in the nature of deposits,
are recognised as an increase in life insurance contract liabilities.
Premiums with no due date or fi xed amount are recognised on
a cash-received basis. Premiums with a regular due date are
recognised on an accruals basis. Unpaid premiums are only
recognised during the days of grace or where secured by the
surrender value of the life insurance contract and are reported
as outstanding premiums and classifi ed as receivables in the
Statement of fi nancial position.
Investment contracts
There is no premium revenue in respect of investment contracts.
Amounts received from policyholders in respect of investment
contracts comprise:
–
origination fees, advice fees and ongoing investment
management fees. See note 1(x)
amounts credited directly to investment contract liabilities.
See note 1(t).
–
(x) Fee and other revenue
Fees are charged to customers in connection with investment
contracts and other fi nancial services contracts. Revenue is
recognised as services are provided. In some cases, services are
provided at the inception of the contract, while other services
are performed over the life of the contract.
An investment contract consists of a fi nancial instrument
and an investment-management services element.
56
The payment by the policyholder includes the amount to
fund the fi nancial instrument and a fee for the origination of
the contract. In many cases, that origination fee is based on
amounts paid to fi nancial planners for providing initial advice.
The fi nancial instrument is classifi ed as an investment contract
and is measured at fair value. See note 1(t).
The revenue that can be attributed to the origination service
is recognised at inception. Any amounts paid to fi nancial
planners is also recognised as an expense at that time.
See note 1(aa).
Fees for ongoing investment management services and
other services provided are charged on a regular basis,
usually daily, and are recognised as the service is provided.
Fees charged for performing a signifi cant act in relation to
funds managed by the AMP group are recognised as revenue
when that act has been completed.
(y) Investment gains or losses
Dividend and interest income is recognised in the Income
statement on an accruals basis when the AMP group obtains
control of the right to receive the revenue.
Net realised and unrealised gains and losses include realised
gains and losses being the change in value between the
previously reported value and the amount received on
de-recognition of the asset or liability, and unrealised gains
and losses being changes in the fair value of fi nancial assets
and investment property recognised in the period.
Rents raised are on terms in accordance with individual
leases. Certain tenant allowances that are classifi ed as lease
incentives, such as rent-free periods, fi t-outs and upfront
payments, are capitalised and amortised over the term of
the lease. The aggregate cost of incentives is recognised
as a reduction to revenue from rent over the lease term.
(z) Insurance claims and related expense
Life insurance contracts
Life insurance contract claims are separated into their
expense and withdrawal components. The component
that relates to the bearing of risks is treated as an expense.
Other claim amounts, which are in the nature of
withdrawals, are recognised as a decrease in life
insurance contract liabilities.
Claims are recognised when a liability to a policyholder
under a life insurance contract has been established or
upon notifi cation of the insured event, depending on the
type of claim.
Investment contracts
There is no claims expense in respect of investment
contracts. Amounts paid to policyholders in respect of
investment contracts are withdrawals and are recognised
as a decrease in investment contract liabilities. See note 1(t).
(aa) Operating expenses
All operating expenses, other than those allocated to life
insurance contracts, (see note 1(s)), are expensed as incurred.
Expenses of controlled entities of the AMP life insurance
entities’ statutory funds represent the business costs of those
entities and are consolidated into the results of the AMP group.
The majority of investment contracts issued result in payments
to external service and advice providers. Where the amount
paid equates to a fee charged to policyholders for the provision
of advice, the amount is expensed either at inception or
over the period of the contract consistent with the basis
for recognising the fee revenue on the respective contracts.
See note 1(t).
1. Basis of preparation and summary of signifi cant accounting policies continued
Operating lease payments
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the
Income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term
or other systematic basis representative of the patterns of the
benefi ts obtained. Operating incentives are recognised as a
liability when received and subsequently reduced by allocating
lease payments between rental expense and reduction of
the liability.
(bb) Finance costs
Finance costs include:
(i) Borrowing costs:
–
–
interest on bank overdrafts, borrowings and
subordinated debt, and
amortisation of discounts or premiums related to
borrowings.
(ii) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an
adjustment to interest costs.
(iii) Changes in the fair value of derivative hedges together
with any change in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liabilities that are designated and qualify as fair value
hedges, foreign exchange gains and losses and other
fi nancing related amounts. The accounting policy for
derivatives is set out in note 1(q).
Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses when incurred.
(cc) Share-based payments
The AMP group issues performance rights, restricted shares
and other equity instruments to employees as a form of equity-
settled share-based compensation. Equity-settled share-based
compensation to employees is considered to be an expense in
respect of the services received and is recognised in the Income
statement over the vesting period of the instrument with a
corresponding amount in the share-based payment reserve
within equity.
The expense is based on the fair value of each grant, measured
at the date of the grant. For performance rights and similar
instruments, the fair value is determined by an external valuer.
The fair value calculation takes into consideration a number
of factors, including the likelihood of achieving market-based
vesting conditions such as total shareholder return. The
fair value determined at grant date is not altered over the
vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are included
in assumptions about the number of instruments that are
expected to vest. At each reporting date, the AMP group reviews
its estimates of the number of instruments that are expected
to vest. Any changes to the original estimates are recognised in
the Income statement and the share-based payment reserve,
over the remaining vesting period.
Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based payment
are modifi ed and the expense increases as a result of the
modifi cation, the increase is recognised over the remaining
vesting period. When a modifi cation reduces the expense,
there is no adjustment and the pre-modifi cation cost continues
to be recognised.
Expenses for awards that do not ultimately vest are reversed
in the period in which the instrument lapses, except for awards
where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, in which
case no reversal is recognised.
When instruments vest, shares are purchased on market
and transferred to the employee. The cost of the purchase
is recognised in the share-based payment reserve.
(dd) Superannuation funds
The AMP group operates superannuation funds that provide
benefi ts for employees and their dependants on resignation,
retirement, disability or death of the employee. The funds have
both defi ned contribution and defi ned benefi t sections. Refer
to note 27 for further information on the funds.
The contributions paid and payable by AMP group to defi ned
contributions funds are recognised in the Income statement as
an operating expense when they fall due. Prepaid contributions
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a
reduction in the future payments is available.
For the defi ned benefi t sections of superannuation funds
operated by the AMP group, the AMP group recognises the
net defi cit or surplus position of each fund in the Statement
of fi nancial position as defi ned by AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts.
This does not represent an assessment of the funds’ funding
positions. The defi cit or surplus is measured as the difference
between the fair value of the funds’ assets and the discounted
defi ned benefi t obligations of the funds, using discount rates
determined with reference to market yields at the end of the
reporting period on high quality corporate bonds or, in countries
where there is no deep market in such bonds, using market
yields at the end of the period on government bonds.
After taking into account any contributions paid into the defi ned
benefi t funds during the period, movements in the net surplus
or defi cit of each fund, except actuarial gains and losses, are
recognised in the Income statement. Actuarial gains and losses
arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions over the period are recognised (net of tax) directly
in retained earnings through Other comprehensive income.
Contributions paid into defi ned benefi t funds are recognised
as reductions in the defi cit.
(ee) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
consolidated profi t attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited,
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number of ‘treasury
shares’ held during the period is deducted in calculating the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t
used in the determination of basic earnings per share by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period adjusted for potential ordinary shares considered to be
dilutive. Potential ordinary shares are contracts such as options
and performance rights that may entitle the holder to ordinary
shares. These potential ordinary shares are considered dilutive
when their conversion into ordinary shares would be likely to
cause a reduction in earnings per share. The weighted average
number of ‘treasury shares’ held during the period is deducted
in calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding for diluted earnings per share.
(ff) Disposal groups held for sale
A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of together
as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly
associated with those assets that will be transferred in the
transaction. Disposal groups are classifi ed as held-for-sale if
their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The
criteria for held-for-sale classifi cation is regarded as met only
when the sale is highly probable, the disposal group is available
for immediate sale in its present condition, management is
committed to a plan to sell the group and a sale is expected
to be completed within a year.
Disposal groups classifi ed as held-for-sale are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs
of disposal. Assets and liabilities of disposal groups are shown
separately from other assets and liabilities in the Statement
of fi nancial position.

Notes to the fi nancial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
2. Signifi cant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The making of judgements, estimates and assumptions is a
necessary part of the fi nancial reporting process and these
judgements, estimates and assumptions can have a signifi cant
effect on the reported amounts in the fi nancial statements.
Estimates and assumptions are determined based on
information available to management at the time of preparing
the fi nancial report and actual results may differ from these
estimates and assumptions. Had different estimates and
assumptions been adopted, this may have had a signifi cant
impact on the fi nancial statements. Signifi cant accounting
judgements, estimates and assumptions are re-evaluated at
each reporting period in the light of historical experience and
changes to reasonable expectations of future events. Signifi cant
accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions include
but are not limited to:
(a) Consolidation
Entities are included within the consolidated fi nancial
statements of the AMP group where AMP Limited has control
over the entities. Control arises from exposure, or rights, to
variable returns from involvement with an entity, where
AMP Limited has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the entity. Judgement is applied by management
in assessing whether control exists.
Judgement is applied in determining the relevant activities of
each entity and determining whether AMP Limited has power
over these activities. This involves assessment of the purpose
and design of the entity, identifi cation of the activities which
signifi cantly affect that entity’s returns and how decisions
are made about those activities. In assessing how decisions
are made, management considers voting and veto rights,
contractual arrangements with the entity or other parties,
and any rights or ability to appoint, remove or direct key
management personnel or entities that have the ability to direct
the relevant activities of the entity. Consideration is also given
to the practical ability of other parties to exercise their rights.
Judgement is also applied in identifying the variable returns
of each entity and assessing AMP Limited’s exposure to these
returns. Variable returns include distributions, exposure to
gains or losses and fees that may vary with the performance
of an entity.
(b) Fair value of investments in fi nancial assets
The AMP group measures investments in fi nancial assets,
other than those held by AMP Bank and loans and advances
to advisers, at fair value. Where available, quoted market prices
for the same or similar instruments are used to determine
fair value. Where there is no market price available for an
instrument, a valuation technique is used. Management
applies judgement in selecting valuation techniques and
setting valuation assumptions and inputs. Further detail on
the determination of fair value of fi nancial instruments is set
out in note 23.
(c) Fair values of investment properties and owner-occupied
property
The AMP group measures investment properties at fair value
through profi t or loss. Owner-occupied property is measured
at fair value at last valuation date less subsequent depreciation.
The valuation of investment properties and owner-occupied
property requires judgement to be applied in selecting
appropriate valuation techniques and setting valuation
assumptions. The AMP group engages independent registered
valuers to value each of its investment properties on a rolling
annual basis. Further detail on the determination of fair values
of investment properties is set out in note 11.
(d) Acquired intangible assets
Subject to some exceptions, accounting standards require the
assets and liabilities of businesses acquired through a business
combination to be measured at their acquisition date fair
values. Management apply judgement in selecting valuation
techniques and setting valuation assumptions to determine
the acquisition date fair values and to estimate the useful
lives of these assets. Note 25(d) provides details of intangibles
acquired through business combinations during the period.
Accounting standards require management to assess, at
each reporting period, whether there are any indicators of
impairment in relation to the carrying value of intangible
assets. Where an impairment indicator is identifi ed, and
at least annually for assets with indefi nite useful lives, the
recoverable amount of the asset must be determined and
compared to the carrying amount.
Judgement is applied by management in assessing whether
there are any impairment indicators and, where required,
determining the recoverable amount. For further details on
impairment of intangibles, refer to note 13.
(e) Goodwill
Goodwill is required to be allocated to cash generating units
and tested for impairment on an annual basis. Management
apply judgement in determining cash generating units and
allocating the goodwill arising from business combinations to
these cash generating units. Impairment is assessed annually
by determining the recoverable amount of each cash generating
unit which has a goodwill balance. Management applies
judgement in selecting valuation techniques and setting
valuation assumptions to determine the recoverable amount.
Note 13 sets out further information on the impairment
testing of goodwill.
58
2. Signifi cant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions continued
( j) Defi ned benefi t plan liabilities
The defi ned benefi t plan liabilities of the AMP group are
measured as the difference, for each fund, of the fair value of
the fund’s assets and the actuarially determined present value
of the obligation to fund members. AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts
requires defi ned benefi t plan liabilities to be measured using
discount rates determined with reference to market yields at
the end of the reporting period or high quality corporate bonds
or in countries where there is no deep market in such bonds,
using market yields on government bonds. Judgement is applied
in assessing whether there is a deep market in high quality
corporate bonds and in the selection of government bonds
used to determine the yield.
The determination of the fair value of the fund’s assets is also
subject to the other judgements, estimates and assumptions
discussed at (b) above. The calculation of the obligation to fund
members requires judgement to be applied in the setting of
actuarial assumptions. Further detail on the determination
of defi ned benefi t plan liabilities is set out in note 27.
(f) Tax
The AMP group is subject to taxes in Australia and other
jurisdictions where it has operations. The application of tax
law to the specifi c circumstances and transactions of the AMP
group requires the exercise of judgement by management.
The tax treatments adopted by management in preparing
the fi nancial statements may be impacted by changes in
legislation and interpretations or be subject to challenge by
tax authorities.
Judgement is also applied by management in determining
the extent to which the recovery of carried forward tax losses is
probable for the purpose of meeting the criteria for recognition
as deferred tax assets. Note 7 sets out information on carried
forward tax losses for which a deferred tax asset has not
been recognised.
(g) Provisions
A provision is recognised for items where the AMP group has
a present obligation arising from a past event, it is probable
that an outfl ow of economic resources will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation. The provision is measured as
the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation. Management apply judgement in assessing
whether a particular item satisfi es the above criteria and
in determining the best estimate. Note 15 sets out further
information on provisions.
(h) Insurance contract liabilities
The measurement of insurance contract liabilities is
determined using the margin on services (MoS) methodology.
The determination of the liability amounts involves judgement
in selecting the valuation methods and profi t carriers for
each type of business and setting valuation assumptions.
The determination is subjective and relatively small changes
in assumptions may have a signifi cant impact on the reported
profi t. The board of each of the life entities is responsible for
these judgements and assumptions, after taking advice from
the Appointed Actuary. Further detail on the determination
of insurance contract liabilities is set out in note 20.
(i) Investment contract liabilities
Investment contract liabilities are measured at fair value. For
the majority of contracts, the fair value is determined based on
published unit prices and the fair value of backing assets, and
does not generally require the exercise of judgement. For fi xed
income products and the North capital guarantee, fair value
is determined using valuation models. Judgement is applied
in selecting the valuation model and setting the valuation
assumptions. Further details on investment contract liabilities
are set out in note 21.

3. Segment information
(a) Segments – background
Operating segments have been identifi ed based on separate
fi nancial information that is regularly reviewed by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The term CODM refers to
the function performed by the Chief Executive Offi cer and his
immediate team, as a team, in assessing performance and
determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments
are identifi ed according to the nature of profi t generated and
services provided. Segment information in this note is reported
separately for each operating segment. AMP group evaluates the
performance of segments on a post-tax operating earnings basis.
Segment information is not reported for activities of AMP group
offi ce companies as it is not the function of these departments
to earn revenue and any revenues earned are only incidental to
the activities of the AMP group.
Asset segment information has not been disclosed because
the balances are not provided to the CODM for the purposes of
evaluating segment performance and deciding the allocation of
resources to segments.
(b) Description of segments

Statutory reporting revenue for Australian Wealth Protection, Australian Mature and AMP Financial Services New Zealand includes premium
and investment gains and losses. However, for segment reporting, external customer revenue is operating earnings which represents gross
revenue less claims, expenses, movement in insurance contract liabilities and tax relating to those segments.
AMP Capital segment revenue is reported net of external investment manager fees paid in respect of certain assets under management.
AMP Capital segment profi t is reported net of 15 per cent attributable to MUTB (FY12: period from March 2012). Other AMP Capital segment
information is reported before deductions of minority interests.
Other segment information excludes revenue, expenses and tax relating to assets backing policyholder liabilities.
Intersegment revenue represents operating revenue between segments priced on an arm’s length basis.

Underlying investment income consists of investment income on shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets
(as opposed to income producing operating assets) normalised in order to bring greater clarity to the results by eliminating the impact of
short-term market volatility on underlying performance. Underlying returns are set based on long-term expected returns for each asset
class, except for a short term return, equivalent to a one year government bond, set annually for the implicit DAC component of shareholder
assets. Market adjustment – investment income is the excess (shortfall) between the underlying investment income and the actual return
on shareholder assets invested in income producing investment assets.
2 Market adjustment – annuity fair value relates to the net impact of investment markets on AMP’s annuity portfolio.
3
Market adjustment – risk products relates to the net impact of changes in market economic assumptions (bond yields and CPI) on the
valuation of risk insurance liabilities.
4 Other items include one-off and non-recurring revenues and costs.
5
Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets held on behalf of the policyholders (and related tax balances) are recognised in the
fi nancial statements at different values to the values used in the calculation of the liability to policyholders in respect of the same assets.
Therefore, movements in these policyholder assets result in accounting mismatches which impact profi t attributable to shareholders.
These differences have no impact on the operating earnings of the AMP group.
Revenue as per the Income statement of $20,113m (2012: $17,429m) comprises Premiums and related revenue $2,283m (2012: $2,218m),
Fee revenue $2,434m (2012: $2,252m), Other revenue $419m (2012: $696m), Investment gains and (losses) gains of $14,963m (2012: gains

(b) Relationship between income tax expense and accounting profi t
The following table provides a reconciliation of differences between prima facie tax calculated as 30 per cent of the profi t before
income tax for the year and the actual income tax expense recognised in the Income statement for the year. The income tax expense
amount refl ects the impact of both income tax attributable to shareholders as well as income tax attributable to policyholders.
In respect of income tax expense attributable to shareholders, the tax rate which applies is 30 per cent in Australia and 28 per cent
in New Zealand.
Income tax attributable to policyholders is based on investment income allocated to policyholders less expenses deductible against
that investment income. The impact of the tax is charged against policyholder liabilities. A number of different tax rate regimes
apply to policyholders. In Australia, certain classes of policyholder life insurance income and superannuation earnings are taxed
at 15 per cent, and certain classes of income on some annuity business are tax-exempt. The rate applicable to New Zealand life
insurance business during the year is 28 per cent.
Profi t before income tax
Policyholder tax (expense) credit recognised as part of the change
in policyholder liabilities in determining profi t before tax

Prima facie tax at the rate of 30%
Tax effect of differences between amounts of income and expenses recognised
for accounting and the amounts deductible/taxable in calculating taxable income:

Inventories include inventories and development properties of investment entities controlled by the life entities’ statutory funds which carry
out business operations unrelated to the core wealth management operations of the AMP group. Inventories also include fi nancial planning
client servicing rights held for sale in the ordinary course of business. AMP group has arrangements in place with certain fi nancial planning
advisers whereby AMP group is required, subject to the adviser meeting certain conditions, to pay a benefi t to those advisers on surrender of
the client servicing rights. The benefi t paid under these arrangements is calculated based on value metrics attributable to the client register
at the valuation date. AMP has the right to change the multiples used to determine the benefi t paid (subject to a notice period). In some
cases, the arrangements can be changed without notice should legislation, economic or product changes render them inappropriate. In the
normal course of business, AMP group seeks to on-sell the client servicing rights to other fi nancial planning advisers and accordingly any
client servicing rights acquired under these arrangements are classifi ed as inventory.
Other assets are assets of investment entities controlled by the life entities’ statutory funds which carry out business operations unrelated
to the core wealth management operations of the AMP group.
3 $99m (2012: $93m) of inventories and other assets is expected to be recovered more than 12 months from the reporting date.

Investment property of $3,901m (2012: $3,066m) held by controlled entities of the life entities’ statutory funds has been provided as security
against borrowings of these controlled entities of the life entities’ statutory funds.
Valuation of investment property
Investment property is measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
Fair values of the AMP group’s properties are determined by independent registered valuers who have appropriate registered
professional qualifi cations and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued.
The fair value appraisals are obtained on a rolling annual basis. The valuation schedule may be altered when a property is either
undergoing or being appraised for redevelopment, refurbishment or sale, or is experiencing other changes in assets or tenant
profi les which may signifi cantly impact value: or when there have been signifi cant changes in the property market and broader
economy such as updates to comparable property sales which may have an impact on the individual asset values. The carrying
value of each investment property is assessed at reporting date to ensure there has been no material change to the fair value since
the valuation date.
The valuers apply ‘comparable sales analysis’ and the ‘capitalised income approach’ by reference to annual net market income,
comparable capitalisation rates and other property-specifi c adjustments as well as discounted cash fl ow analysis where the
expected net cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a market determined risk adjusted discount rate. The fair
value of investment property does not refl ect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property.

Total goodwill comprises amounts attributable to shareholders of $2,683m (2012: $2,682m) and amounts attributable to policyholders

Impairment of goodwill relates to goodwill of controlled entities of the life entities’ statutory funds, which carry out business operations
unrelated to the core wealth management operations of the AMP group.
Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill includes balances attributable to shareholders and balances attributable to policyholders in investment entities controlled
by the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds.
Goodwill attributable to shareholders
$2,683m (2012: $2,682m) of the goodwill is attributable to shareholders and arose from the acquisition of AMP AAPH Limited group
in the prior year, a previous Life Act Part 9 transfer of life insurance business into the statutory funds of AMP Life and other business
combinations where AMP group was the acquirer.
70
13. Intangibles continued
Each of the businesses acquired included activities conducted in the same business units already operated by AMP. Those business
units are Australian Wealth Management (WM), Australian Wealth Protection (WP), Australian Mature, AMP Financial Services
New Zealand and AMP Capital and those business units are identifi ed as the cash generating units for the purpose of assessing
goodwill impairment.
For the purposes of impairment testing, the amount is allocated to the cash generating units as follows:
– Australian WM – goodwill attributable: $1,406m (2012: $1,405m)
– Australian WP – goodwill attributable: $668m (2012: $668m)
– Australian Mature – goodwill attributable: $350m (2012: $350m)
– AMP Financial Services New Zealand – goodwill attributable $172m (2012: $172m)
– AMP Capital – goodwill attributable $87m (2012: $87m).
AMP Capital has other intangible assets of $1m (2012: $1m) with an indefi nite useful life. There were no other intangibles with
indefi nite useful lives allocated to the shareholder cash generating units.
The recoverable amount for each cash generating unit has been determined using the fair value less costs of disposal basis. For
each cash generating unit, other than AMP Capital, the fair value has been determined considering a combination of the estimated
embedded value plus the value of one year’s new business times a multiplier. These are generally regarded as features of a Life
insurance business that, when taken together, would be an estimate of fair value. Embedded value is a calculation which represents
the economic value of the shareholder capital in the business and the future profi ts expected to emerge from the business currently
in-force expressed in today’s dollars.
The key assumptions applied in estimating the embedded value and value of one year’s new business are: mortality, morbidity,
discontinuance rates, maintenance unit costs, future rates of supportable bonus for participating business, franking credits, risk
discount rates, investment returns and infl ation rates. Premium and claim amounts are estimated over the expected life of the
in-force policies which varies depending on the nature of the product. Future maintenance and investment expenses are estimated
based on unit costs derived from budgeted amounts for the following year and increased in future years for expected rates of
infl ation. Assumptions applied in this valuation are consistent with the best estimate assumptions used in calculating the policy
liabilities of AMP’s life insurance entities except that the value of in-force and new business calculation includes a risk discount
rate. Note 1(s) and note 20 provide extensive details with respect to the assumptions, management’s approach to determining the
values assigned to each key assumption and their consistency with past experience and external sources of information. All relevant
business is projected for the embedded value and the description of the assumptions in note 20 applies even where that business
is not valued by projection methods for profi t reporting. The value of in-force and new business calculation uses a risk discount rate
based on the zero coupon government bond curve plus a discount margin of 4 per cent (2012: 3 per cent): Australia 6.5−9.5 per cent
(2012: 6.3 per cent), New Zealand 7.2−9.4 per cent (2012: 6.6 per cent).
The recoverable amount for the AMP Capital cash generating unit is determined based on a multiple of 17.4 times current period
earnings, which approximates the fair value of this business, less an allowance for disposal costs.
The conclusion from the goodwill impairment testing is that there has been no impairment to the amount of the goodwill
recognised and there is no reasonably possible change in key assumptions that could cause the carrying amount to exceed the
recoverable amount.
Goodwill attributable to policyholders
The policyholder goodwill has arisen on acquisitions of operating subsidiaries controlled by the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory
funds, which carry out business operations unrelated to the core wealth management operations of the AMP group. The goodwill
represents the future value of cash fl ows expected to be derived from those operating subsidiaries.
Policyholder cash generating units were allocated $28m of goodwill at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: $194m). Policyholder
cash generating units had no other intangibles with indefi nite useful lives (31 December 2012: $198m).
The individual goodwill components are not signifi cant in comparison with the total carrying amount of goodwill attributable
to policyholders. Impairment testing resulted in an impairment of $18m recognised during the year ended 31 December 2013
(31 December 2012: $40m). The $18m impairment was incurred as a result of a decline in projected future cash fl ows in underlying
operating subsidiaries controlled by the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds. Total impairment for the period was $25m of
which $7m related to impairment of assets of disposal groups (refer to note 30).
Impairment testing of these goodwill balances is based on each asset’s value in use, calculated as the present value of forecast future
cash fl ows from those assets using discount rates of between 13.0 per cent and 19.6 per cent (2012: 11.9 per cent and 15.0 per cent).
The forecast cash fl ows used in the impairment testing for operating subsidiaries are based on assumptions as to the level of
profi tability for each business over the forecast period. Forecasts for the following 12 months have in each case been extrapolated
based on terminal value growth rates of between 3.0 per cent and 4.0 per cent per annum (2012: 2.7 – 4.0 per cent per annum).
The projected revenues are based on the businesses in their current condition. The assumptions do not include the effects of any
future restructuring to which the entity is not yet committed or of future cash outfl ows by the entity that will improve or enhance
the entity’s performance.
At the reporting date, there is no reasonably possible change in key assumptions that could cause the carrying amount to exceed
the recoverable amount.
Shareholders have no direct exposure to movements in goodwill attributable to policyholders. However, due to the impact of
the accounting for investments in controlled entities of the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds (see note 1(b)), policyholder
asset movements (including goodwill) can impact the net profi t after tax attributable to shareholders. Any impact is temporary
in nature, reversing no later than the point at which AMP group ceases to control the investments.

Life insurance contract premium revenue consists entirely of direct insurance premiums; there is no inward reinsurance component.
For participating business in the statutory funds, part of the assets in excess of the life insurance contract and other liabilities calculated
under MoS are attributed to policyholders. Under the Life Act, this is referred to as policyholder retained profi ts. For the purpose of reporting
under accounting standards, this amount is referred to as unvested policyholder benefi ts liabilities and is included within life insurance
contract liabilities even though it is yet to be vested as specifi c policyholder entitlements.

(f) Assumptions and methodology applied in the valuation of life insurance contract liabilities
Life insurance contract liabilities, and hence the net profi t from life insurance contracts, are calculated by applying the principles
of margin on services (MoS). Refer to note 1(s) for a description of MoS and the methods for calculating life insurance contract
liabilities.
The methods and profi t carriers used to calculate life insurance contract liabilities for particular policy types are as follows:
Business type
Method
Conventional
Investment account
Retail risk (lump sum)
Retail risk (income protection – AMP Life NZ only)
Retail risk (income protection – all others)
Group risk (lump sum)

Key assumptions used in the calculation of life insurance contract liabilities are as follows:
(i) Risk-free discount rates
Except where benefi ts are contractually linked to the performance of the assets held, a risk-free discount rate based on current
observable, objective rates that relate to the nature, structure and term of the future obligations is used. The rates are determined
as shown in the following table:

20. Life insurance contracts continued
(ii) Participating business discount rates
Where benefi ts are contractually linked to the performance of the assets held, as is the case for participating business, a discount
rate based on the expected market return on backing assets is used. The assumed earning rates for backing assets for participating
business are largely driven by long-term (eg 10 year) government bond yields. The 10 year government bond yields used at the
relevant valuation dates are as shown below.
Assumed earning rates for each asset sector are determined by adding to the bond yield various risk premiums which refl ect the
relative differences in expected future earning rates for different asset sectors. For products backed by mixed portfolio assets, the
assumption varies with the proportion of each asset sector backing the product. The risk premiums applicable at the valuation date
are shown in the table below.

The risk premiums for local equities include allowance for imputation credits. The risk premiums for fi xed interest refl ect credit
ratings of the portfolio held.
The averages of the asset mixes assumed for the purpose of setting future investment assumptions for participating business at the
valuation date are as shown in the table below for each life company. These asset mixes are not necessarily the same as the actual
asset mix at the valuation date as they refl ect long-term assumptions.

The asset mix above includes both conventional and investment account business for AMP Life, but only conventional business for NMLA.
As described in note 1(s), 100 per cent of investment profi ts on NMLA’s investment account business are allocated to policyholders.
Where an assumption used is net of tax, the tax on investment income is allowed for at rates appropriate to the class of business
and asset sector, including any allowance for imputation credits on equity income. For this purpose, the total return for each asset
sector is split between income and capital gains. The actual split has varied at each valuation date as the total return has varied.
(iii) Future participating benefi ts
For participating business, the total value of future bonuses (and the associated shareholder’s profi t margin) included in life
insurance contract liabilities is the amount supported by the value of the supporting assets, after allowing for the assumed
future experience. The pattern of bonuses and shareholder profi t margin assumed to emerge in each future year depends on the
assumed relationship between reversionary bonuses (or interest credits) and terminal bonuses. This relationship is set to refl ect
the philosophy underlying actual bonus declarations.
Actual bonus declarations are determined to refl ect, over time, the investment returns of the particular fund and other factors in
the emerging experience and management of the business. These factors include:
–
–
–
–
allowance for an appropriate degree of benefi t smoothing
reasonable expectations of policyholders
equity between generations of policyholders applied across different classes and types of business
ongoing capital adequacy.
Given the many factors involved, the range of bonus structures and rates for participating business is extremely diverse.

3.0%–6.8% (3.0%–5.0%)
(iv) Future maintenance and investment expenses
Unit maintenance costs are based on budgeted expenses in the year following the reporting date (including GST, as appropriate,
and excluding one-off expenses). For future years, these are increased for infl ation as described in (v) below. These expenses include
fees charged to the life statutory funds by service companies in the AMP group. Unit costs vary by product line and class of business
based on an apportionment that is supported by expense analyses.
Future investment expenses are based on the fees currently charged by the asset managers.
(v) Infl ation and indexation
Benefi ts and premiums under many regular premium policies are automatically indexed by the published consumer price index
(CPI). Assumed future take-up of these indexation options is based on AMP Life and NMLA’s own experience with the annual future
CPI rates derived from the difference between long-term government bonds and indexed government bonds.
The assumptions for expense infl ation have regard to these rates, recent expense performance, AMP Life and NMLA’s current plans
and the terms of the relevant service company agreement, as appropriate.
The assumed annual infl ation and indexation rates at the valuation date are:
Australia

2.6% CPI, 3.0% expenses
2.7% CPI, 3.0% expenses
2.5% CPI, 3.0% expenses
2.5% CPI, 3.0% expenses
(vi) Bases of taxation
The bases of taxation (including deductibility of expenses) are assumed to continue in accordance with legislation current at the
valuation date.
(vii) Voluntary discontinuance
Assumptions for the incidence of withdrawals, paid ups and premium dormancy are primarily based on investigations of AMP
Life’s and NMLA’s own historical experience. These rates are based upon the assessed global rate for each of the individual products
(or product groups) and then, where appropriate, further adjusted for duration, premium structure, smoker status, age attained
or short-term market and business effects. Given the variety of infl uences affecting discontinuance for different product groups,
the range of voluntary discontinuance rates across AMP Life and NMLA are extremely diverse.
The assumptions for future rates of discontinuance for the major classes of life insurance contracts are shown in the following table.
The table includes the short-term voluntary discontinuance assumptions for Australian risk business.

(viii) Surrender values
The surrender bases assumed for calculating surrender values are those current at the reporting date. There have been no changes
to the bases during the year (or the prior year) that would materially affect the valuation results.
(ix) Mortality and morbidity
Standard mortality tables, based on national or industry wide data, are used. These are then adjusted by factors that take account
of AMP Life and NMLA’s own experience.
Rates of mortality assumed at 31 December 2013 for AMP Life and NMLA are as follows:
–
conventional in Australia and New Zealand and Wealth Protection in New Zealand are unchanged from those assumed at
31 December 2012 in Australia and New Zealand. The rates are based on IA95-97 for AMP Life and IA90-92 for NMLA with
an allowance for future mortality improvements for Conventional business
annuitant mortality rates are unchanged from those assumed in December 2012
AMP Life and NMLA Australian Retail Risk mortality rates have changed to be based on the new Industry standard IA04-08

For TPD and Trauma business the Australian AMPL and NMLA Retail Risk products assumptions have been changed to use the
latest industry table IA04-08 modifi ed based on our aggregated experience but with overall product specifi c adjustment factors.
No changes have been made to the New Zealand assumptions.
For Income Protection business the assumptions have been updated to use the IAD89-93 standard table modifi ed for AMPL and
NMLA Australia and New Zealand combined experience with overall product specifi c adjustment factors. The adjustment factors
include age, gender, occupation, waiting period, duration on claim, benefi t band and benefi t period.

from 1990–1992.
IML00 and IFL00 are mortality tables developed by the Actuaries Institute and the Faculty of Actuaries based
on United Kingdom annuitant lives experience from 1999–2002. The tables refer to male and female lives
respectively and incorporate factors that allow for mortality improvements since the date of the investigation.
IML00* and IFL00* are these published tables amended for some specifi c AMP experience.
The UK 00 series tables represent the latest annuitant/pensioner experience and therefore replace the
80 series tables, which are based on experience from 1979 to 1982. Pensioner tables are used given that the
NZ annuitants did not voluntarily obtain annuities as they received one automatically from their pension plan.
This was published by The Actuaries Institute under the name A graduation of the 2004–2008 Lump Sum

(x) Impact of changes in assumptions
Under MoS, for life insurance contracts valuations using the projection method, changes in assumptions are recognised by adjusting
the value of future profi t margins in life insurance contract liabilities. Future profi t margins are released over future periods.
Changes in assumptions do not include market related changes in discount rates such as changes in benchmark market yields
caused by changes in investment markets and economic conditions. These are refl ected in both life insurance contract liabilities
and asset values at the reporting date.
The impact on future profi t margins of changes in assumptions from 31 December 2012 to 31 December 2013 in respect of life
insurance contracts (excluding new business contracts which are measured using assumptions at reporting date) is as shown in
the table below for the two life companies.

In most cases, the overall amount of life insurance contract liabilities and the current period profi t are not affected by changes in
assumptions. However, where in the case of a particular related product group, the changes in assumptions at the end of a period
eliminate any future profi t margins for the related product group, and results in negative future profi t margins, this negative
balance is recognised as a loss in the current period. If the changes in assumptions in a period are favourable for a product group
currently in loss recognition, then the previously recognised losses are reversed in the period.

(g) Insurance risk sensitivity analysis – life insurance contracts
For life insurance contracts that are accounted for under MoS, amounts of liabilities, income or expense recognised in the period
are unlikely to be sensitive to changes in variables even if those changes may have an impact on future profi t margins.

At 31 December 2012, changes in assumptions fully absorbed future profi t margins on NMLA’s retail ordinary disability income products and
these products remain in a capitalised loss position at 31 December 2013. Any improvement in the assumptions for these products would be
recognised initially as a reversal of the previously recognised loss.
(h) Life insurance risk
The life insurance activities of AMP Life and NMLA involve a number of non-fi nancial risks concerned with the pricing, acceptance
and management of the mortality, morbidity and longevity risks accepted from policyholders, often in conjunction with the
provision of wealth management products.
The design of products carrying insurance risk is managed to ensure that policy wording and promotional materials are clear,
unambiguous and do not leave AMP Life and NMLA open to claims from causes that were not anticipated. Product prices are set
through a process of fi nancial analysis, including review of previous AMP Life and NMLA and industry experience and specifi c
product design features. The variability inherent in insurance risk, including concentration risk, is managed by having a large
geographically diverse portfolio of individual risks, underwriting and the use of reinsurance.
Underwriting is managed through a dedicated underwriting department, with formal underwriting limits and appropriate training
and development of underwriting staff. Individual policies carrying insurance risk are underwritten on their merits and are generally
not issued without having been examined and underwritten individually. Individual policies which are transferred from a group
scheme are generally issued without underwriting. Group risk insurance policies meeting certain criteria are underwritten on the
merits of the employee group as a whole.
Claims are managed through a dedicated claims management team, with formal claims acceptance limits and appropriate training
and development of staff to ensure payment of all genuine claims. Claims experience is assessed regularly and appropriate actuarial
reserves are established to refl ect up-to-date experience and any anticipated future events. This includes reserves for claims incurred
but not yet reported.
AMP Life and NMLA reinsure (cede) to specialist reinsurance companies a proportion of their portfolio or certain types of insurance
risk, including catastrophe. This serves primarily to:
reduce the net liability on large individual risks
–
obtain greater diversifi cation of insurance risks
–
provide protection against large losses.
–
The specialist reinsurance companies are regulated by APRA or industry regulators in other jurisdictions and have strong credit
ratings from A- to AA+.

Terms and conditions of life insurance contracts
The nature of the terms of the life insurance contracts written by AMP Life and NMLA is such that certain external variables can be
identifi ed on which related cash fl ows for claim payments depend. The following table provides an overview of the key variables upon
which the timing and uncertainty of future cash fl ows of the various life insurance contracts issued by AMP Life and NMLA depend.
Type of contract
Detail of contract workings
Nature of compensation for claims
Key variables affecting future cash flows
Non-participating
life insurance
contracts with fi xed
and guaranteed
terms (term life
and disability and
yearly renewable)
These policies provide
guaranteed benefi ts, which
are paid on death or ill-health,
that are fi xed and not at the
discretion of the Life Company.
Premium rates for yearly
renewable business are not
guaranteed and may be changed
at the Life Company’s discretion
for the portfolio as a whole.
Benefi ts, defi ned by the
insurance contract, are
not directly affected by the
performance of any underlying
assets or the performance
of any associated investment
contracts as a whole.
Mortality, morbidity, lapses,
expenses and market earning
rates on assets backing
the liabilities.
Life annuity contracts
In exchange for an initial single
premium, these policies provide
a guaranteed regular income for
the life of the insured.
The amount of the guaranteed
regular income is set at
inception of the policy
including any indexation.
Longevity, expenses and market
earning rates on assets backing
the liabilities.
Conventional life
insurance contracts
with discretionary
participating benefi ts
(endowment and
whole of life)
Investment account
contracts with
discretionary
participating features
These policies combine life
insurance and savings. The
policyholder pays a regular
premium and receives the
specifi ed sum insured plus any
accruing bonuses on death
or maturity. The sum insured
is specifi ed at inception and
guaranteed. Reversionary
bonuses are added annually,
which once added (vested) are
guaranteed. A further terminal
bonus may be added on
surrender, death or maturity.
The gross value of premiums
received is invested in the
investment account with fees
and premiums for any associated
insurance cover being deducted
from the account balance when
due. Interest is credited regularly.
Benefi ts arising from the
discretionary bonuses are
based on the performance
of a specifi ed pool of contracts
and the assets supporting
these contracts.
Market earning rates on
assets backing the liabilities,
interest rates, lapses, expenses,
and mortality.
Fees, lapses, expenses and
market earning rates on the
assets backing the liabilities,

Payment of the account
balance is generally
guaranteed, although it may
be subject to certain penalties
on early surrender or limited
adjustment in adverse markets.
Operating profi t arising from
these contracts is allocated
between the policyholders
and shareholders with not
less than 80% allocated to
policyholders. Distribution of
policyholder profi t is through
an interest rate mechanism.
(i) Liquidity risk and future net cash outfl ows
The following table shows the estimated timing of future net cash outfl ows resulting from insurance contract liabilities.
This includes estimated future surrenders, death/disability claims and maturity benefi ts, offset by expected future premiums

(b) Restrictions on assets in statutory funds
AMP Life and NMLA conduct investment linked and non-investment linked business. For investment linked business, deposits are
received from policyholders, the funds are invested on behalf of the policyholders and the resulting liability to policyholders is linked
to the performance and value of the assets that back those liabilities.
The Life Act requires the life insurance business of AMP Life and NMLA to be conducted within life statutory funds.
AMP Life has three statutory funds as set out below:
No. 1 fund
Australia
Capital guaranteed business (whole of life, endowment, investment
account, retail and group risk and immediate annuities).
New Zealand
All business (whole of life, endowment, investment account,
retail and group risk, investment-linked and immediate annuities).
No. 2 fund
Australia
Investment-linked superannuation business (retail
and group investment-linked and deferred annuities).
No. 3 fund
Australia
Investment-linked ordinary business.
NMLA has six statutory funds as set out below:
No. 1 fund
Australia
Capital guaranteed ordinary business (whole of life, endowment,
investment account and retail and group risk).
New Zealand
All business (whole of life, endowment, investment account, retail and

Investments held in the life statutory funds can only be used in accordance with the relevant regulatory restrictions imposed under
the Life Act and associated rules and regulations. The main restrictions are that the assets in a life statutory fund can only be used
to meet the liabilities and expenses of that life statutory fund, to acquire investments to further the business of the life statutory
fund or as distributions provided solvency, capital adequacy and other regulatory requirements are met. See further details about
solvency and capital adequacy in note 21(d).
Australian Accounting Standards require the income, expenses, assets and liabilities in the fi nancial statements of AMP Life
and NMLA to include amounts attributable to policyholders in investment linked and non-investment linked business of the
life statutory funds. The following table shows a summary of the balances in the life statutory funds disaggregated between

The net assets of life statutory funds attributable to shareholders represent the interests of shareholders including funds required
to meet regulatory requirements as well as further amounts of shareholder funds in excess of regulatory requirements.
Impact of the life statutory fund amounts on the AMP group consolidated fi nancial statements
To the extent that investments by the life statutory funds are held through wholly or partly owned controlled entities of the life
statutory funds, the balances of those controlled entities are consolidated by AMP Life and NMLA and therefore become part of
the consolidated balances of this AMP group fi nancial report. The consolidated balances include 100 per cent of the underlying
investments in fi nancial assets, investment property, and other net operating assets of the controlled entities of AMP life entities’
statutory funds. Most of the controlled entities are managed investment schemes and the share of the consolidated profi t and net
assets of those managed investment schemes attributable to unitholders other than the AMP Life statutory funds is recognised in
the consolidated income statement as Movement in external unitholders’ liabilities and in the consolidated Statement of fi nancial
position as External unitholders’ liabilities.

21. Other life insurance and investment contract disclosures continued
(d) Capital requirements
Registered life insurance entities are required to hold prudential reserves, over and above their life insurance contract and
investment contract liabilities, as a buffer against adverse experience and poor investment returns. New prudential capital
standards for Australian Life and General Insurance Companies (LAGIC) were introduced effective 1 January 2013. This LAGIC
framework is intended to take account of the full range of risks to which a regulated institution is exposed and introduces the
prescribed capital amount (PCA) requirement. The PCA is the minimum level of capital that the regulator deems must be held
to meet policyholder obligations. The regulatory capital base and prescribed capital amounts at 31 December 2013 have been
calculated based on the new standards. Capital disclosures prior to 1 January 2013 were based on the capital standards in place
at the time and have not been restated to refl ect the LAGIC requirements.
In addition to the regulatory capital requirements, the Company maintains a target surplus providing additional capital buffer against
adverse events. The Company uses internal capital models to determine its target surplus, with the models refl ecting the risks of
the business, principally the risk of adverse asset movements relative to the liabilities and of worse than expected claims costs.
The excess of the Company’s capital base over the prescribed capital amount under LAGIC as at 31 December 2013 was $865m and
$315m for AMP Life and NMLA respectively.
The Appointed Actuaries of AMP Life and NMLA have confi rmed that the available assets of each life statutory fund have exceeded
PCA at all times during 2013 and exceeded the previous capital adequacy and the solvency reserve required at all times during 2012.

Prior to 1 January 2013, Life companies were required to hold prudential reserves based on the greater of the requirements under
solvency and capital adequacy standards. The purpose of the solvency requirement was to ensure, as far as practicable, that at any
time the life company was able to meet all existing liabilities as they became due. The capital adequacy requirement was a separate
requirement (usually greater), taking into account also viability as an ongoing concern. These were specifi ed in the Life Insurance Act
1995, the previous LPS 2.04 Solvency Standard and LPS 3.04 Capital Adequacy Standard.

the Appointed Actuary of NMLA, are satisfi ed as to the accuracy of the data used in the valuations in the fi nancial report and in the
tables in this note and note 20.
The liabilities to policyholders (being the sum of the life insurance contract and investment contract liabilities, including any asset
or liability arising in respect of the management services element of an investment contract) and solvency reserves have been
determined at the reporting date in accordance with the Life Act.
(f) Amounts which may be recovered or settled within 12 months after the reporting date
Based on assumptions as to likely withdrawal patterns of the various product groups, it is estimated that approximately $12,632m
(2012: $11,936m) of policy liabilities may be settled within 12 months of the reporting date.

22. Risk management and fi nancial instruments disclosures
Financial risk management
Financial risk management (FRM) at AMP is an integral part of AMP group’s enterprise risk management framework. The Audit
Committee, supported by the Group Asset and Liability Committee (Group ALCO), is responsible for ensuring fi nancial risks are
appropriately managed.
(a) Risks and mitigation
Financial risks arising in the AMP group include market risk (investment risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, currency
risk, property risk, and equity price risk); liquidity and refi nancing risk; and credit risk. These risks are managed according to the
Enterprise Risk Management Policy and individual policies for each risk category. This fi nancial risk management includes the use
of derivative fi nancial instruments such as cross-currency and interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements, futures, options and
foreign currency contracts to hedge risk exposures arising from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Financial risk management includes decisions made about the allocation of investment assets across asset classes and/or markets
and the management of risks within these asset classes. Financial risk for investments in the AMP group is managed by reference
to the probability of loss relative to expected income over a one-year time horizon at a 90 per cent confi dence level (profi t at risk).
In respect of investments held in the shareholder fund and in the life statutory funds, the loss tolerance over the discretionary
investments is set at a low level because AMP has equity market exposure in its businesses (for example through fees on assets
under management).
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of assets and liabilities, or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate due to
movements in the fi nancial markets. These movements include foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices
or property prices. Market risk in the AMP group arises from the management of insurance contracts and investment of shareholder
capital including investments in equities, property, interest bearing investments and corporate debt.
(b) Market risk sensitivity analysis
The paragraphs below include sensitivity analysis tables showing how the profi t after tax and equity would have been impacted by
changes in market risk variables including interest rate risk and currency risk as defi ned in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
They show the direct impact on the profi t after tax or equity of a reasonably possible change in factors which affect the carrying
value of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities held at the end of the reporting period.
The sensitivity is required to show the impact of a reasonably possible change in market rate (it is not intended to illustrate a
remote, worst case, stress test scenario nor does it represent a forecast. In addition it does not include the impact of any mitigating
management actions) over the period to the subsequent reporting date. The categories of risks faced and methods used for deriving
sensitivity information did not change from previous periods.
The only market risk relating to the parent entity is in relation to the AMP Notes 2 subordinated debt instruments issued in
December 2013 which have been on-lent to other AMP subsidiaries on the same terms and conditions.
Interest rate risk
(i)
Interest rate risk is the risk of an impact on AMP group’s profi t after tax and equity from movements in market interest rates,
including changes in the absolute levels of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the margin between different yield curves
and the volatility of interest rates.
Interest rate risk arises from interest bearing fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities in various activities of the AMP group.
Management of those risks is decentralised according to the activity. Details are as follows:
–
AMP group’s long-term borrowings and AMP group’s and the parent entity’s subordinated debt – interest rate risk arises in relation
to long-term borrowings and subordinated debt raised through a combination of Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and
pound sterling denominated fi xed-rate and fl oating-rate facilities. Most of AMP group’s debt is Australian dollar denominated
and AMP group’s foreign denominated debt is converted to fl oating-rate Australian dollars through cross-currency swaps.
Interest rate risk is managed by entering fl oating-to-fi xed interest rate swaps, which have the effect of converting borrowings
from fl oating rates to fi xed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the AMP group agrees with other parties to exchange, at
specifi ed intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fi xed contract rates and fl oating-rate interest amounts calculated
by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.
AMP group policy is to maintain between 40–60 per cent of borrowings and subordinated debt at fi xed rates. At the reporting
date, 40 per cent (2012: 50 per cent) of the AMP group’s borrowings and subordinated debt were effectively at fi xed rates.
–
AMP Life and NMLA – as discussed in note 1(b), AMP Life and NMLA conduct their wealth management and life insurance
business through separate life statutory funds. Investment assets of the life statutory funds including interest bearing
fi nancial assets are held to back investment contract liabilities, life insurance contract liabilities, retained profi ts and capital.
The interest rate risk of AMP Life and NMLA which impacts shareholders arises in respect of fi nancial assets and liabilities held in
the shareholder fund and in the life statutory funds. A risk arises to the extent that there is an economic mismatch between the
timing of payments to life policyholders and the duration of the assets held in the life statutory funds to back the policyholder
liabilities. Where a liability in respect of investment contracts is directly linked to the value of the assets (where applicable, net of
related liabilities) held to back that liability (investment-linked business), there is no residual interest rate exposure which would
impact shareholders.

Notes to the fi nancial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
22. Risk management and fi nancial instruments disclosures continued
Management of various risks associated with investments undertaken by life statutory funds and the life shareholder fund, such
as interest rate risk is subject to the relevant regulatory requirements governed by the Life Act. AMP Life and NMLA are required
to satisfy capital adequacy requirements, including holding statutory reserves to cater for interest rate risk to the extent that
assets are not matched against liabilities.
AMP Life and NMLA manage interest rate and other market risks pursuant to an asset and liability management policy that has
regard to policyholder expectations and risks to the AMP Life and NMLA Board’s target surplus philosophy for capital as advised
by the appointed actuaries.
–
AMP Bank – interest rate risk arises in AMP Bank from mismatches of repricing terms (for example, a three-year fi xed rate
loan funded with a 90 day term deposit – term risk) and variable rate short-term repricing bases (basis risk). AMP Bank uses
natural offsets, interest-rate swaps and basis swaps to hedge the mismatches within exposure limits. Group Treasury manages
the interest rate exposure in AMP Bank by maintaining a position, which is generally neutral, within the limits delegated and
approved by the AMP Bank Board.
Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis
This analysis demonstrates the impact of a 100 basis point change in Australian and International interest rates, with all other
variables held constant, on profi t after tax and equity. It is assumed that all underlying exposures and related hedges are included
in the sensitivity analysis, that the 100 basis point change occurs as at the reporting date and that there are concurrent movements
in interest rates and parallel shifts in the yield curves. The impact on equity includes both the impact on profi t after tax as well as
the impact of amounts that would be taken directly to equity in respect of the portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives
that qualify as cash fl ow hedges for hedge accounting. A sensitivity level of 100 basis points is determined considering the range
of interest rates applicable to interest bearing fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities in the AMP group.

(ii) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk of an impact on AMP group’s profi t after tax and equity from movements in foreign exchange rates.
Changes in value would occur in respect of translating the AMP group’s capital invested in overseas operations into Australian
dollars at reporting date (translation risk) or from foreign exchange rate movements on specifi c cash fl ow transactions
(transaction risk).
Other than where the impact would be immaterial, corporate debt is typically converted to Australian dollars through cross-
currency swaps, individual investment assets in shareholder capital (excluding the international equities portfolio attributable
to shareholders within the AMP Life Statutory Fund No. 1 fund) and seed and sponsor capital investments are hedged, and
expected foreign currency receipts and payments are hedged once the value and timing of the expected cash fl ow is known.
Subject to Group ALCO approval, Group Treasury may allow for natural hedging of foreign exchange risk through unhedged
foreign currency borrowings, or enter into discretionary foreign exchange transactions to hedge enterprise-wide exposures.
AMP group does not hedge the capital invested in overseas operations (other than foreign seed and sponsor capital investments),
thereby accepting the foreign currency translation risk on invested capital.

Currency risk sensitivity analysis
This analysis demonstrates the impact of a 10 per cent movement of currency rates against the Australian dollar, with all other
variables held constant, on the profi t after tax and equity due to changes in fair value of currency sensitive monetary assets and
liabilities at the reporting date. It is assumed that the 10 per cent change occurs as at the reporting date. A sensitivity level of
10 per cent is determined considering the range of currency exposures in the AMP group.

Equity price risk is the risk of an impact on AMP group’s profi t after tax and equity from movements in equity prices. The AMP group
measures equity securities at fair value through profi t or loss. Group Treasury may, with Group ALCO approval, use equity exposures
or equity futures or options to hedge other enterprise-wide equity exposures.
Equity price risk sensitivity analysis
The analysis demonstrates the impact of a 10 per cent movement in Australian and International equities held at the reporting date.
This sensitivity analysis has been performed to assess the direct risk of holding equity instruments. Any potential indirect impact
on fees from AMP group’s investment linked business is not included. A sensitivity level of 10 per cent is determined considering the
widely spread portfolios held by the AMP group and the range of movements in equity markets for the periods.

of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding when required. Refi nancing risk is the risk that AMP group is not able
to refi nance the full quantum of its ongoing debt requirements on appropriate terms and pricing. This includes the AMP group
corporate debt portfolio, AMP Bank and AMP Capital through various investment funds, entities or mandates that it manages or
controls or in which AMP Capital, AMP Life or NMLA has signifi cant ownership interest or infl uence.
To ensure that the AMP group has suffi cient funds available, in the form of cash, liquid assets, borrowing capacity and un-drawn
committed funding facilities to meet its liquidity requirements, Group Treasury maintains a defi ned surplus of cash plus six months
of debt maturities to mitigate refi nancing risk, satisfy regulatory requirements and protect against liquidity shocks in accordance
with the liquidity risk management policy approved by the AMP Limited Board.
Financiers of loans owing by controlled entities of the life statutory funds do not have legal recourse beyond the operating
subsidiary borrower and there is no direct effect on any other AMP group debt.

The table provides maturity analysis of AMP group fi nancial liabilities including fi nancial liabilities of controlled entities of the life entities’
statutory funds and non-linked investment contracts including term annuities.
Investment contract liabilities are liabilities to policyholders for investment linked business linked to the performance and value of assets
that back those liabilities. If all those policyholders claimed their funds, there may be some delays in settling the liability as assets are
liquidated, but the shareholder has no direct exposure to any liquidity risk. External unitholders’ liabilities all relate to controlled entities
of the life entities’ statutory funds and would only be paid when the corresponding assets are realised.
Estimated net cash outfl ow profi le of life insurance contract liabilities, disclosed in note 21, are excluded from the above table.
Loan commitments relate to commitments to provide credit to customers of AMP Bank.

22. Risk management and fi nancial instruments disclosures continued
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk includes both settlement credit exposures and traded credit exposures. Credit default risk is the risk of an adverse impact
on results and asset values relative to expectations due to a counterparty failing to meet their contractual commitments in full and
on time (obligator’s non-payment of a debt). Traded credit risk is the risk of an adverse impact on results and asset values relative to
expectations due to changes in the value of a traded fi nancial instrument as a result of changes in credit risk on that instrument.
The AMP concentration risk policy sets out the assessment and determination of what constitutes credit risk. The policy has set
exposure limits for each counterparty and credit rating. Compliance with this policy is monitored and exposures and breaches are
reported to senior management and the Audit Committee through monthly and quarterly FRM reports.
Credit risk management is decentralised in business units within the AMP group. However, credit risk directly and indirectly
(ie in the participating business) impacting shareholder capital is measured and managed by Group Treasury on a group basis,
by aggregating risk from credit exposures taken in business units, as detailed below.
–
–
–
AMP Life and NMLA – Credit risk on the invested fi xed income portfolios in the AMP Life and NMLA statutory funds is managed
by the AMP Capital Risk and Compliance Committee (AMP Capital R&C) and reported to the fund managers, within specifi ed
credit criteria in the mandate approved by the AMP Life and NMLA Boards. The shareholder portion of credit risk in AMP Life
and NMLA is reported to Group ALCO by Group Treasury.
AMP Capital – Credit risk, including portfolio construction, in the fi xed income portfolios managed by AMP Capital is the
responsibility of the individual investment teams. There is also a dedicated credit research team and a specifi c credit investment
committee. The investment risk and performance team provides reports to the AMP Capital Investment Committee. This credit
risk in the cash and fi xed income portfolios relating directly to shareholders’ funds is included in the aggregation by Group
Treasury and reported to Group ALCO and the AMP Limited Audit Committee.
AMP Bank – Credit risk arising in AMP Bank as part of lending activities and management of liquidity is managed as prescribed
by AMP Bank’s Risk Management Systems Description (RMSD) and reported to AMP Bank ALCO monthly. Wholesale credit
exposures in AMP Bank’s liquidity portfolio are included in the aggregation by Group Treasury and reported to Group ALCO.
(i) Management of credit risk concentration
Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of fi nancial instruments or contracts are entered into with the same counterparty
or where a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Concentration of credit risk is managed through
both aggregate credit rating limits and individual counterparty limits, which are determined predominantly on the basis of the
counterparty’s credit rating.
At reporting date, there is no specifi c concentration of credit risk with a single counterparty arising from the use of fi nancial
instruments, other than the normal clearing-house exposures associated with dealings through recognised exchanges.
The counterparties to non-exchange traded contracts, at the time of entering those contracts, are limited to companies with
investment grade credit (BBB- or greater). The credit risks associated with these counterparties are assessed under the same
management policies as applied to direct investments in AMP group’s portfolio.
Compliance is monitored and exposures and breaches are reported to senior management and the AMP AC through the monthly
and quarterly FRM Report.
(ii) Exposure to credit risk
The exposures on interest bearing securities and cash equivalents which impact the AMP group’s capital position are managed by
AMP Treasury within limits set by the AMP Concentration Risk Policy. The following table provides information regarding the credit
risk exposures for items monitored by AMP Treasury according to the credit rating of the counterparties.

(iii) Credit risk of the loan portfolio in AMP Bank
The Bank is predominantly a lender for residential properties – both owner occupied and for investment. In every case the Bank
completes a credit assessment, which includes cost of living allowance and requires valuation of the proposed security property.
About 30 per cent of the Bank’s residential loan portfolio is securitised and all loans in securitisation vehicles are mortgage insured
thereby further mitigating the risk. The Bank’s Credit Committee and board oversee trends in lending exposures and compliance
with concentration limits as a further basis of limiting lending risk. The Bank secures its loan with mortgages over relevant
properties and as a result manages credit risk on its loan with conservative lending policies and particular focus on the loan to
value ratio (LVR). The LVR is calculated by dividing the total loan amount outstanding by the lower of the Bank’s approved valuation
amount or the purchase price. Loans with LVR greater than 80 per cent are fully mortgage insured. The potential credit exposure to
the loan mortgage insurers has been assessed to be minimal due to the stable historical relationship with the Bank and minimal
level of historic claims rejections and reductions. The minimum level credit rating for the loans and lender mortgage insurers is
AA- under Standard & Poor’s rating and A3 under Moody’s rating. The average LVR of the Bank’s loan portfolio for existing and new
business is set out in the following table:

For investment-linked business in AMP Life and NMLA, the liability to policyholders is linked to the performance and value of the assets that
back those liabilities. The shareholder has no direct exposure to any credit risk in those assets. Therefore, the tables in this section do not

external party would ascribe to an amount due from AMP Life and NMLA:

(7)
The adjustment has been determined as the difference between the fair value recognised and an amount calculated on the same
basis using a risk-free interest rate in place of the fair value discount rate.
(vi) Impaired fi nancial assets and impairment assessment
Individual provisions and collective provisions are recognised in respect of impaired loans in AMP Bank. The amounts in the provision
are not material to the AMP group.
The AMP Bank Credit Committee reviews the portfolio for provisioning at least quarterly. The review considers:
–
–
–
–
current provisioning amount
portfolio growth and performance – for both on and off balance sheet exposures
current arrears position and specifi c loan provisions
current and forecast state of economy, interest rate movements etc.
It also makes recommendations to the AMP Bank Board and Audit Committee.
Collective impairment loan loss provision
The collective impairment loan loss provision methodology is a statistically based model that removes subjectivity from the
provisioning process and makes the provision refl ective of historical loss performance.
The model utilises historical losses incurred by AMP Bank and researches external data sources to develop a series of probability of
default and loss, given default factors that can be applied to loans and advances in arrears. The model also includes the ability to
apply a management overlay if it is deemed that the economic environment is not representative of historical loss performance.
The model is reviewed quarterly and specifi c factors are formally validated every six months and reported to the AMP Bank
Audit Committee.
Specifi c provision
The specifi c provision is created when there is clear evidence that AMP Bank will suffer a loss with little chance of recovery and
the amount of the loss is measurable. This provision is reviewed quarterly and recommendations are made to the AMP Bank
Audit Committee.
(vii) Collateral
AMP Life enters into debt security repurchase agreements and part of the agreement includes the receipt of collateral which is
required to be returned to the counterparty on settlement.
AMP Bank uses residential property as collateral against its loans to customers. AMP Bank may take control of the collateral in
the event the customer defaults.
(e) Derivative fi nancial instruments
Derivative fi nancial instruments are measured at fair value in the Statement of fi nancial position as assets and liabilities. Asset
and liability values on individual transactions are only netted if the transactions are with the same counterparty and the cash fl ows
will be settled on a net basis. Changes in values of derivative fi nancial instruments are recognised in the Income statement unless
they qualify as effective cash fl ow hedges or net investment hedges for accounting purposes, as set out in note 1(q).
(i) Derivative transactions undertaken by AMP life insurance entities as part of life insurance operations
The AMP group uses derivative fi nancial instruments including fi nancial futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, exchange
traded and other options and forward rate agreements to hedge the impact of market movements on the value of assets in the
investment portfolios, and to effect a change in the asset mix of investment portfolios.
In respect of the risks associated with the use of derivative fi nancial instruments, price risk is controlled by exposure limits, which
are subject to monitoring and review. Foreign exchange hedges are monitored on a regular basis to ensure they are effective in
the reduction of price risk.

Notes to the fi nancial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2013 continued
22. Risk management and fi nancial instruments disclosures continued
(ii) Derivative transactions undertaken in relation to the North product capital guarantee
AMP group supports the North product (North) which enables clients to invest their superannuation, pension and ordinary savings
in a range of managed funds, with part or all of the total value of the investments guaranteed. The North guarantees are either
term-based capital guarantees or provide a guaranteed level of income throughout the life of a client’s retirement. At 31 December
2013 $1,748m (2012:$1,510m) of funds under management were invested subject to the North guarantees. A fair value of $35m
(2012: $85m) was recorded for the North guarantee liability at 31 December 2013.
Hedging techniques are used to protect the AMP group against changes in the expected guarantee claim payments from market
movements. AMP group also has the ability to review the periodic charge for new and existing clients. To the extent that the fair
value of the guarantee is based on assumptions that may not be borne out in practice and that the hedge instruments used are not
a perfect match for the expected guarantee payments, there is a residual risk that deviations from these assumptions may result in
a profi t or loss to shareholders.
Hedging of the North capital guarantee is performed based on the economic value of the guarantee. The economic value is
consistent with the accounting fair value except that the calculation of accounting fair value applies a minimum liability, on a
contract by contract basis, of the amount that would be payable on demand at reporting date, whereas the economic value does
not include this minimum. The difference in the movement of accounting fair value and the movement in the economic value of
the guarantee also results in a profi t or loss to the shareholder.
(iii) Other derivative transactions undertaken by non-life insurance controlled entities
AMP Treasury, AMP Capital and AMP Bank use derivative fi nancial instruments to hedge fi nancial risk from movements in interest
rates and foreign exchange rates. Swaps, forwards, futures and options in the interest rate and foreign exchange markets may be
used. A description of each of these derivatives is given below.
–
–
–
Swaps – a swap transaction obliges the two parties to the contract to exchange a series of cash fl ows at specifi ed payment or
settlement dates. Swap transactions undertaken by the AMP group include interest rate swaps, which involve the contractual
exchange of fi xed and fl oating interest rate payments in a single currency based on a notional amount and a reference rate
(for example BBSW), and cross-currency swaps which involve the exchange of interest payments based on two different currency
principal balances and reference interest rates, and generally also entail exchange of principal amounts at the start and/or
end of the contract.
Forward and futures contracts – these are agreements between two parties establishing a contractual interest rate on a
notional principal over a specifi ed period, commencing at a future date. Forward contracts are tailor-made agreements that
are transacted between counter parties in the over-the-counter market (OTC), whereas futures are standardised contracts
transacted on regulated exchanges.
Options – an option contract gives the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specifi ed amount of
a given commodity or fi nancial instrument at a specifi ed price during a certain period or on a specifi c date. The seller of the
option contract is obliged to perform if the holder exercises the right contained therein. Options may be traded OTC or on
a regulated exchange.
(iv) Risk relating to derivative fi nancial instruments
The market risk of derivatives is managed and controlled as an integral part of the fi nancial risk of the AMP group. The credit risk
of derivatives is also managed in the context of the AMP group’s overall credit risk policies.
(f) Accounting for hedges
The accounting treatment of hedge transactions varies according to the nature of the instrument hedged and whether the hedge
qualifi es for hedge accounting.
Derivative transactions may qualify as fair value hedges, cash fl ow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
The AMP group’s accounting policies for derivatives designated and accounted for as hedging instruments are explained in note 1(q),
where terms used in the following section are also explained.
The AMP group also enters into derivative transactions that provide economic hedges but do not meet the requirements for hedge
accounting treatment.
(i) Derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges
Fair value hedges are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities due to movements
in exchange rates and interest rates.
During 2013, the AMP group recognised a net loss of $5m (2012: $7m loss) on hedging instruments designated as fair value hedges.
The net gain on hedged items attributable to the hedged risks amounted to $5m (2012: $6m gain).
94
22. Risk management and fi nancial instruments disclosures continued
(ii) Derivative instruments accounted for as cash fl ow hedges
The AMP group is exposed to variability in future cash fl ows on non-trading assets and liabilities which can bear interest at fi xed
and variable rates. The AMP group uses interest rate swaps and cash fl ow hedges to manage these risks.
The following schedule shows, as at reporting date, the periods when the hedged cash fl ows are expected to occur and when they
are expected to affect profi t and loss:

Nil (2012: nil) was recognised in the Income statement due to hedge ineffectiveness from cash fl ow hedges.
(iii) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
AMP group hedges its exposure to changes in exchange rates on the value of its foreign currency denominated seed pool investments.
Gains or losses on effective seed pool hedges are transferred to equity to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net
investment in foreign operations.
AMP group recognised a profi t of nil (2012: nil) due to the ineffective portion of hedges relating to investments in seed pool
foreign operations.
(g) Master netting or similar agreements
(i) Derivative fi nancial assets and liabilities
Certain derivative assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, such as an International
Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement. In certain circumstances, for example, when a credit event
such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed
and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.
An ISDA agreement does not meet the criteria for offsetting in the Statement of fi nancial position as the AMP group does not have
any currently legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts, as the right to offset is enforceable only on the occurrence of
future events such as a default.
As at 31 December 2013, if these netting arrangements were applied to the derivative portfolio, the derivative assets of $1,648m
would be reduced by $171m to the net amount of $1,477m and derivative liabilities of $1,041m would be reduced by $171m to
the net amount of $870m (31 December 2012: derivative assets of $2,144m reduced by $105m to the net amount of $2,039m
and derivative liabilities of $1,283m reduced by $105m to the net amount of $1,178m).
(ii) Repurchase agreements
Included within debt securities are assets held to back the liability for collateral deposits held in respect of debt security repurchase
arrangements entered into by the life entities’ statutory funds and controlled entities of the life entities’ statutory funds. Collateral
deposits held includes the obligation to repay collateral held in respect of debt security repurchase arrangements entered into.
As at 31 December 2013, if repurchase arrangements were netted, debt securities of $32,628m would be reduced by $1,351m to
the net amount of $31,277m and collateral deposits held of $1,428m would be reduced by $1,351m to the net amount of $77m
(31 December 2012: debt securities of $31,012m reduced by $1,054m to the net amount of $29,958m and collateral deposits held
of $1,054m reduced by $1,054m to the net amount of nil).
(h) Other collateral
The AMP group has collateral arrangements in place with some counterparties in addition to collateral deposits held with respect
to repurchase agreements. Collateral generally consists of 11am loans and deposits and is exchanged between the counterparties to
reduce the exposure from the net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities between the counterparties. As at 31 December 2013
there was $175m of collateral deposits due to other fi nancial institutions (2012: $405m) and $231m of collateral loans due from
other fi nancial institutions relating to derivative assets and liabilities (2012: $147m).

1 The parent has fi nancial liabilities of $325m, the fair value of this subordinated debt as at 31 December 2013 was $329m.
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date.
(i) Debt securities
The estimated fair value of loans and interest bearing securities represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash fl ows
expected to be received, based on the maturity profi le of the loans and interest bearing securities. As the loans are unlisted, the
discount rates applied are based on the yield curve appropriate to the remaining term of the loans.
The loans may be measured at an amount in excess of fair value due to fl uctuations on fi xed rate loans. As the fl uctuations in fair
value do not represent a permanent diminution and the carrying amounts of the loans are recorded at recoverable amounts after
assessing impairment, it is not appropriate to restate their carrying amount.
(ii) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise domestic commercial paper, drawn liquidity facilities and various fl oating-rate and medium-term notes.
The fair values of borrowings are predominantly hedged by derivative instruments – mainly cross-currency and interest rate swaps.
The estimated fair value of borrowings is determined with reference to quoted market prices. For borrowings where quoted market
prices are not available, a discounted cash fl ow model is used, based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term
to maturity.
(iii) Subordinated debt
Subordinated debt comprises listed securities and their fair value is determined with reference to the actual quoted market prices
at reporting date. The fair value of subordinated debt is predominantly hedged by derivative instruments – mainly cross-currency
and interest rate swaps.
(b) Fair value measures
AMP group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised under a three level hierarchy, refl ecting the availability of
observable market inputs when estimating the fair value. If different levels of inputs are used to measure a fi nancial instrument’s
fair value, the classifi cation within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels are:
Level 1: Valued by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These quoted prices represent actual
and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Level 2: Valued using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices), including: quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted
prices in markets in which there are few transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities, and other inputs that are not quoted
prices but are observable for the asset or liability, for example interest rate yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals,
currency rates, option volatilities, credit risks, and default rates.
Level 3: Valued in whole or in part using valuation techniques or models that are based on unobservable inputs that are neither
supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor based on available market data.
Unobservable inputs are determined based on the best information available, which might include the AMP group’s own data,
refl ecting the AMP group’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and include estimates about the timing of cash
fl ows, discount rates, earnings multiples and other inputs.

AMP group recognises transfers as at the end of the reporting period during which the transfer has occurred. Transfers are recognised when
there are changes in the observability of the pricing of the relevant securities or where the AMP group cease to consolidate a controlled entity.
Gains and losses are classifi ed in investment gains and losses or change in policyholder liabilities in the Income statement.
Transfers in primarily relate to the reduced ownership on the controlled entities of Aged Care 1&2 which ceased to be controlled during
the period. There have been no signifi cant transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 or vice versa.
As at 31 December 2013, net unrealised gains and losses relating to fi nancial assets was $116m.

The fair value of the asset or liability would increase/decrease if the discount rate decreases/increases. The fair value of the asset or liability
would increase/decrease if the other inputs increase/decrease.
Each individual asset and industry profi le will determine the appropriate valuation inputs to be utilised in each specifi c valuation and can vary
from asset to asset. The discount rate ranges for equity securities fall within (8%–14%) and earnings multiple ranges fall within (9.7x to 10.3x).
Reasonably possible alternative assumptions have been calculated by changing one or more of signifi cant unobservable inputs for individual
assets to reasonably possible alternative assumptions. On fi nancial assets this included adjusting earnings multiples by 0.5x and discount
Rate 25bps–100bps. On investment contract liabilities this included adjustments to credit risk by 50bps.
Backing fi nancial instruments include level 3 assets.
Financial asset valuation process
For fi nancial assets categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the valuation processes applied in valuing such assets
is governed by the AMP Capital asset valuation policy. This policy outlines the asset valuation methodologies and processes
applied to measure non-exchange traded assets which have no regular market price, including investment property, infrastructure,
private equity, alternative assets, and illiquid debt securities. All signifi cant level 3 assets are referred to the appropriate valuation
committee who meet at least every six months, or more frequently if required.

24. Capital management
The AMP group holds capital to protect customers, creditors and shareholders against unexpected losses to a level that is consistent
with AMP’s risk appetite, approved by the board.
The AMP group’s capital resources include ordinary equity and interest bearing liabilities. The AMP group excludes the interest
bearing liabilities of its banking subsidiary, AMP Bank Limited, and controlled investment subsidiaries and trusts from the AMP
group capital resources. Included within interest bearing liabilities are subordinated debt and other instruments that would qualify
as regulatory capital under Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) standards, or have received transitional arrangements
approved by APRA.
The AMP group makes adjustments to the statutory shareholder equity. Under Australian Accounting Standards, some assets
held on behalf of the policyholders (and related tax balances) are recognised in the fi nancial report at different values to the values
used in the calculation of the liability to policyholders in respect of the same assets. Therefore, movements in these policyholder
assets result in accounting mismatches which impact AMP statutory equity attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited.
Mismatch items include:
–
–
–
treasury shares (AMP Limited shares held by the statutory funds on behalf of policyholders)
AMP Life Limited statutory funds’ investments in controlled entities
other – AMP Life Limited statutory funds’ superannuation products invested in AMP Bank Limited assets.
Adjustments are also made relating to cash fl ow hedge reserves and an adjustment for AMP Foundation to exclude the net assets
of the AMP Foundation from capital resources.
The table below shows the AMP group’s current capital resources at reporting date:

Amounts shown for subordinated debt and senior debt are the amounts to be repaid on maturity. Amounts recognised in the Statement of
fi nancial position in respect of these debts are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
The AMP group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements against regulatory capital requirements. The AMP group’s capital
management plan forms part of the AMP group’s broader strategic planning process.
In addition to managing the level of capital resources, the AMP group also attempts to optimise the mix of capital resources to
minimise the cost of capital and maximise shareholder value.
100
24. Capital management continued
A number of the operating entities within the AMP group of companies are regulated. The AMP group of companies includes
an authorised deposit-taking institution, life insurance companies and approved superannuation trustees all regulated by APRA.
A number of companies also hold Australian Financial Services Licences.
The minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) is the amount of capital required by each of AMP’s regulated businesses
to meet their capital requirements as set by the appropriate regulator. The main requirements are as follows:
–
AMP Life Limited and The National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Limited (NMLA) – capital adequacy requirements
as specifi ed under the APRA Life Insurance Prudential Standards.
AMP Bank Limited – capital requirements as specifi ed under APRA ADI Prudential Standards.
AMP Capital Investors Limited and other ASIC regulated businesses – capital requirements under Australian Financial Services
Licence requirements and for risks relating to North.
–
–
APRA is developing prudential standards relating to capital adequacy for conglomerate groups. The revised prudential standards
are expected to commence 1 January 2015.
All of the AMP group regulated entities have at all times during the current and prior fi nancial year complied with the externally
imposed capital requirements to which they are subject.
AMP holds a level of capital above its MRR. At reporting date the shareholder regulatory capital resources above MRR were $2,080m
(2012: $1,372m after allowing for the impact of LAGIC of $272m). The shareholder regulatory capital resources above MRR will vary
throughout the year due to investment market movements, dividend payments and the retention of profi ts.
Policyholder retained profi ts continue to be resources supporting the participating business. The total policyholder retained profi ts
of AMP Life and NMLA were $2,049m at 31 December 2013 (2012: $1,773m).
AMP’s businesses and the AMP group maintain capital targets (target surplus), refl ecting their material risks (including fi nancial risk,
insurance and product risk and operational risk) and AMP’s risk appetite. The target surplus is a management guide to the level of
excess capital that AMP seeks to carry to reduce the risk of breaching MRR.
AMP Limited, AMP Life, NMLA and AMP Bank have Board minimum capital levels above APRA requirements, with additional capital
targets held above these amounts. Within the life insurance businesses, the capital targets above Board minimums have been
set to a less than 10 per cent probability of capital resources falling below the Board minimum over a 12 month period. Capital
targets are also set for AMP Capital to cover risk associated with seed and sponsor capital investments and operational risk. Other
components of AMP group’s capital targets include amounts relating to Group Offi ce investments, defi ned benefi t funds and other
operational risks.
Following the fi nalisation of the conglomerate capital adequacy standards by APRA, AMP will review the appropriateness of its
capital targets for the AMP group.
In addition, the participating business of the life insurance companies is managed to target a very high level of confi dence that
the business is self-supporting and that there are suffi cient assets to support policyholder liabilities.
APRA has confi rmed transition arrangements with AMP relating to the subordinated debt (excluding AMP Notes 2 to the extent
that it is not used to fund the refi nancing of AMP Notes), held at a group level continuing to be 100 per cent recognised as eligible
capital under the revised conglomerate capital standards until the earlier of each relevant instrument’s fi rst call date or March 2016.

The decrease in Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of fi nancial position is predominantly due to the investment of
$1,685m of liquid resources of controlled funds into a cash fund which does not meet the defi nition of Cash and cash equivalents.
(d) Acquisitions and disposal of controlled entities
Operating entities
During the year ended 31 December 2013, AMP acquired the following entities:
– on 1 November 2013, AMP acquired 100 per cent of Supercorp Administration Pty Ltd and its controlled entities;
During the year ended 31 December 2012, AMP acquired the following entities:
–
on 3 July 2012, AMP acquired 100 per cent of the self-managed superannuation fund administration and investment
administration business of Cavendish Pty Limited and its controlled entities for $20m, consisting of $18m cash and a
$2m deferred payment;
in June 2012, AMP increased its ownership interest in Exford Pty Limited and in AMP Capital Brookfi eld Limited (previously
associates) from 50 per cent to 100 per cent, for cash consideration of $4m in each case. The principal activities of these entities
are fi nancial planning and asset management, respectively.
–
There were no other signifi cant acquisitions or disposals of operating entities in 2012 or 2013.

Controlled entities of AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds
In the course of normal operating investment activities, the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds acquire equity interests
in entities which, in some cases, result in AMP holding a controlling interest in the investee entity.
Most acquisitions and disposals of controlled entities are in relation to managed investment schemes with underlying net assets
typically comprising investment assets including cash. The consideration for acquisitions or disposals refl ects the fair value of the
investment assets at the date of the transactions after taking into account minority interests.
Certain controlled entities of the life entities’ statutory funds are operating companies which carry out business operations
unrelated to the core wealth management operations of the AMP group.

(a) Classifi cation of equity securities
Ordinary shares have been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share.
In accordance with AASB 133 Earnings per Share, options over unissued ordinary shares and performance rights have been classifi ed
as potential ordinary shares and have been considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Performance rights have been
determined to be dilutive in 2013 and 2012. Although performance rights have been determined to be dilutive in accordance with
AASB 133 Earnings per Share, if these instruments vest and are exercised, it is AMP’s policy to buy AMP shares ‘on market’ so there
will be no dilutive effect on the value of AMP shares.
Of the AMP Limited ordinary shares on issue 29,177,280 (2012: 57,599,493) are held by controlled entities of AMP Limited. AMP’s life
insurance entities hold 27,050,893 (2012: 53,720,838) shares on behalf of policyholders. The Australian Securities and Investments
Commission (ASIC) has granted relief from restrictions in the Corporations Act 2001 to allow AMP’s life insurance entities to hold and
trade shares in AMP Limited as part of the policyholder funds’ investment activities. The cost of the investment in these ‘treasury
shares’ is refl ected as a deduction from total contributed equity.

27. Superannuation funds
AMP contributes to funded employer-sponsored superannuation funds that exist to provide benefi ts for employees and their
dependants on resignation, retirement, disability or death of the employee. The funds consist of both defi ned contribution sections
and defi ned benefi t sections.
The defi ned contribution sections receive fi xed contributions from AMP group companies and the group’s legal obligation is limited
to these contributions. The defi ned benefi t sections provide members with a choice of lump sum benefi ts or pension benefi ts based
on years of membership and fi nal salary. New employees are only offered defi ned contribution style benefi ts. The disclosures in this
note relate only to the defi ned benefi t sections of the plans.
The following tables summarise the components of the net amount recognised in the Income statement, Statement of comprehensive
income, the movements in the defi ned benefi t obligation and plan assets and the net amounts recognised in the consolidated
Statement of fi nancial position for the defi ned benefi t funds, determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts. However,
for the purposes of recommending contributions to the defi ned benefi t funds, fund actuaries consider a range of other factors
which do not refl ect the fi nancial position presented in the fi nancial statements.
(a) Summary information of defi ned benefi t funds
Australian defi ned benefi t plans
Active members of AMP’s Australian defi ned benefi t plans are entitled to a lump sum or pension on retirement. Pensions provided
are lifetime indexed pensions with a reversionary spouse pension. The plans are now closed to new members.
The Superannuation Industry Supervision (SIS) legislation governs the superannuation industry and provides the framework within
which superannuation plans operate. The SIS legislation generally requires an actuarial valuation to be performed every year for
defi ned benefi t plans.
The plans are sub-funds within the AMP Superannuation Savings Trust (the Trust). The Trust’s trustees are responsible for the
governance of the plans. The trustees have a legal obligation to act solely in the best interests of plan benefi ciaries. The trustees’
responsibilities include administration of the plan, management and investment of the plan assets, and compliance with
superannuation laws and other applicable regulations.
The plans are exposed to a number of risks. Other than the risks of actual outcomes being different to the actuarial assumptions
used to estimate the defi ned benefi t obligation as set out in note 27(g), the most signifi cant risks include investment risk and
legislative risk. These risks apply to all superannuation plans and are not specifi c to AMP.
During 2013, approximately 15 per cent (AMP Australia) and 50 per cent (AMP AAPH Australia) of the assets backing current pension
liabilities were invested in a fi xed-income investment option with a benchmark duration based on the estimated duration of the
pension liability.
As at the most recent actuarial update, 31 December 2013, the fund actuary recommended contributions to be made at the normal
superannuation rates applicable to the various members and did not identify any defi cit for funding purposes, and therefore no
additional contributions are required.
New Zealand defi ned benefi t plans
Active members of AMP’s New Zealand defi ned benefi t plans are entitled to accumulation benefi ts and a lump sum payment
on retirement. The plans are now closed to new members.
The Superannuation Scheme Act (1989) governs the superannuation industry and provides the framework within which the
superannuation schemes operate. The Act requires an actuarial valuation to be performed every three years.
The plans’ trustees are responsible for the governance of the plan. This includes administration of the plan, management and
investment of the plan assets, and looking after the interests of all benefi ciaries.
The plans are exposed to a number of risks. Other than the risks of actual outcomes being different to the actuarial assumptions
used to estimate the defi ned benefi t obligation as set out in note 27(g), the most signifi cant risks include investment risk and
legislative risk. These risks apply to all superannuation plans and are not specifi c to AMP.
There are no specifi c asset liability matching strategies for the New Zealand defi ned benefi t plans.
AMP has adopted the funds’ actuaries’ recommendations for AMP to make additional contributions of $1m per annum (AMP New
Zealand defi ned benefi t plan) and $4m per annum (AMP AAPH New Zealand defi ned benefi t plan) until the fi nancial positions of
the plans are suffi ciently improved.

28. Share-based payments
(a) Summary of AMP’s share-based payment plans
AMP has a number of employee share-based payment plans. Share-based payments place employees participating in those plans
(participants) in the position of the shareholder, and in doing so, reward employees for the generation of value to shareholders.
Information on plans which AMP currently offers is provided below.
The following table shows the expense recorded for AMP share-based payment plans during the year:

(b) Performance rights
Plan description
The CEO and his direct reports, as well as selected senior executives, are required to take their long-term incentive (LTI) awards in the
form of performance rights. This is to ensure that those executives, who are most directly able to infl uence company performance,
are appropriately aligned with the interests of shareholders. The LTI awards of other participants are comprised of either a mix of
performance rights and share rights, or share rights only.
A performance right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP Limited after a three-year performance period at
no cost to the participant (ie effectively a share option with a zero exercise price), provided a specifi c performance hurdle is met.
Prior to conversion into shares (vesting), performance rights holders do not receive dividends or have other shareholder benefi ts
(including any voting rights). From September 2011, performance rights may be settled through a cash payment in lieu of shares,
at the discretion of the board.
AMP has, from time to time historically, offered share bonus rights to employees in overseas domiciles when it is not possible
or tax-effi cient to grant performance rights. The terms and conditions of the share bonus rights are identical to the terms and
conditions of the performance rights, except settlement is in cash rather than equity instruments. These share bonus rights were
last granted to employees in 2010.
The performance hurdle
Historically, LTI awards in the form of performance rights were subject to a single relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance
hurdle. After an extensive review of market practices, conducted in 2012, the board determined that AMP should introduce a return
on equity (RoE) performance measure, in addition to a TSR measure.
The vesting of performance rights granted since the 2013 LTI award are now based on two performance hurdles as follows:
–
50 per cent of the LTI award value, granted as performance rights, will be subject to AMP’s TSR performance relative to the top
industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index (TSR tranche), and
50 per cent of the LTI award value, granted as performance rights, will be subject to an RoE measure (RoE tranche).
–
The number of performance rights that vest is determined as follows:
TSR tranche: Vesting of these performance rights is dependent on AMP’s TSR performance relative to a comparator group of
Australian listed companies over a three-year performance period. TSR measures the benefi t delivered to shareholders over the
given period, which includes dividend payments, capital returns and movement in the share price. The performance hurdle was
chosen because it requires participants to outperform major ASX listed companies before the awards generate any value.
RoE tranche: Vesting of these performance rights is based on AMP’s RoE performance for the year ending 31 December 2015.
Prior to the 2013 grant being awarded, the board determined the threshold and maximum RoE performance targets (expressed
as percentage outcomes) to be achieved for the year ending 31 December 2015. An RoE hurdle was chosen as it drives a strong
capital discipline which is a key contributor to creating sustainable shareholder value.
Conversion to shares
If the awards vest, they are automatically converted to shares on behalf of participants. Upon conversion, participants become
entitled to shareholder benefi ts, including dividends and voting rights. The board has the discretion to satisfy vested rights by either
acquiring shares on market or through the issuance of shares. AMP’s practice has been, and intention is to continue, to source the
shares to satisfy LTI awards on market, so that the issue of LTIs does not dilute the value of AMP Limited shares. In the case of the
CEO, the vesting of shares may only be provided by AMP procuring the transfer of shares purchased on market.
Treatment of performance rights on ceasing employment and change of control
Typically, unvested LTI awards lapse at the end of the employee’s notice period if the participant resigns from AMP or their
employment is terminated for misconduct or inadequate performance. In other cases, such as retirement and redundancy, LTI
awards may be retained by the participant, with vesting continuing to be subject to the same vesting conditions as if they had
remained in AMP employment. In the event that AMP is subject to a takeover or change of control, unvested performance rights,
granted prior to September 2011, typically vest.
Commencing from the performance rights granted in September 2011, the board has the discretion to determine an alternative
treatment on cessation of employment and change of control (ie to determine that the LTI awards would lapse, are retained or
vest when they would not have otherwise), if deemed appropriate in the light of specifi c circumstances.

28. Share-based payments continued
Plan valuation
The fair value of a TSR performance right has been calculated as at the grant date, by external consultants using a simulation
technique known as a Monte Carlo simulation. Fair value of the TSR performance rights has been discounted for the probability of
not meeting the TSR performance hurdles. The fair value of an RoE performance right has been calculated as at the grant date, by
external consultants using a ‘discounted cash fl ow’ methodology. Fair value has been discounted for the present value of dividends
expected to be paid during the vesting period to which the participant is not entitled. RoE is a non-market based performance
hurdle and therefore, in accordance with AASB 2, allowance cannot be made for the impact of this hurdle in determining the
award’s fair value.
In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to refl ect the
number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the performance period.
For the purposes of the valuation it is assumed performance rights are exercised as soon they have vested. Assumptions regarding the
dividend yield and volatility have been estimated based on AMP’s actual historic dividend yield and volatility over an appropriate period.

From the end of the fi nancial year and up to the date of this report, no performance rights have been issued, no performance rights
have been exercised, and no performance rights have lapsed. Of the performance rights outstanding at the end of the period, none
have vested or become exercisable.
(c) Share rights
Plan description
As described above, LTI participants below the CEO and his direct reports may be awarded share rights as part of their overall LTI award.
A share right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP Limited after a specifi ed service period at no cost to the
participant, provided a specifi c service condition is met. The service period is typically three years, but may vary where the share
rights are awarded to retain an employee for a critical period. Prior to conversion into shares (vesting), share rights holders do not
receive dividends or have other shareholder benefi ts (including any voting rights).
As this program is designed as a means of recognising and retaining employees, no performance hurdles apply, other than
continued service for the duration of the three-year period.
AMP has, from time to time historically, offered share bonus rights without performance conditions to employees in overseas
domiciles when it is not possible or tax-effi cient to grant share rights or restricted shares. The terms and conditions of the
share bonus rights are identical to the terms and conditions of the share rights, except settlement is in cash rather than equity
instruments. These share bonus rights were last granted to employees in 2011.
Conversion to shares
If the awards vest, they are automatically converted to shares on behalf of participants. Upon conversion, participants become
entitled to shareholder benefi ts, including dividends and voting rights. The board has the discretion to satisfy vested rights by
either acquiring shares on market or through the issuance of shares. AMP’s practice has been, and intention is to continue, to
source the shares to satisfy LTI awards on market, so that the issue of LTIs does not dilute the value of AMP Limited shares.
Treatment of share rights on ceasing employment and change of control
Typically, unvested share rights lapse if the participant resigns from AMP or is terminated for misconduct or inadequate
performance. In other cases, such as retirement and redundancy, the participant typically retains their share rights at the board’s
discretion. In the event that AMP is subject to a takeover change of control, treatment of unvested share rights is subject to the
board’s discretion.
Plan valuation
The fair value of share rights has been calculated as at the grant date, by external consultants using a ‘discounted cash fl ow’
methodology. Fair value has been discounted for the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period
to which the participant is not entitled.
In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to refl ect the
number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the performance period.
For the purposes of the valuation it is assumed share rights are exercised as soon they have vested. Assumptions regarding the
dividend yield have been estimated based on AMP’s actual historic dividend yield over an appropriate period.
STI deferral plan
The nominated executives, and selected other senior leaders who have the ability to impact AMP’s fi nancial soundness, participate
in the AMP STI deferral plan. The plan requires that 40 per cent of a participant’s STI award be delivered in rights to AMP shares
(share rights). The share rights convert to AMP Limited shares (ie vest) after a two-year deferral period. Vesting is subject to ongoing
employment, compliance with AMP policies and the board’s discretion.
STI match plan
For each given year, high potential employees at a senior leader level are eligible for nomination to participate in the STI match
plan, which provides an award of share rights to the value of 50 per cent of the individual’s STI. The STI match award is provided
in addition to the STI cash opportunity. Employees at this level are not eligible to participate in AMP’s long-term incentive plan.
As the STI match is based on the STI plan, the number of share rights awarded to the participant depends on the individual’s
contribution to company performance during the fi nancial year.
STI match share rights convert to AMP Limited shares (ie vest) after a two-year deferral period. Vesting is subject to ongoing
employment, compliance with AMP policies and the board’s discretion.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share rights (and share bonus rights without performance conditions) outstanding
at the end of the period is one year.
The share rights granted during 2011, 2012 and 2013 have no exercise period as they are automatically exercised upon vesting.
From the end of the fi nancial year and up to the date of this report, no share rights have been issued, no share rights have been exercised,
and 26,918 share rights have lapsed. Of the share rights outstanding at the end of the period, none have vested or become exercisable.

28. Share-based payments continued
(d) Restricted shares
Plan description
From time to time, AMP awards restricted shares to retain critical employees. Additionally, prior to 2011, Australian LTI participants
were eligible to take some of their award in restricted shares (rather than share rights).
A ‘restricted share’ is an ordinary AMP share that has a holding lock in place until the specifi ed vesting period ends. The vesting
period is typically three years, but may vary where the restricted shares are awarded to retain an employee for a critical period.
During this time, the holder is eligible for dividends, but is unable to sell, transfer or hedge their award.
As this program is designed as a means of recognising and retaining employees, no performance hurdles apply, other than
continued service for the duration of the three-year holding lock. If the individual resigns from AMP (or employment is terminated
for misconduct or inadequate performance) during the holding period, the shares are forfeited.
In cases such as retirement and redundancy, the individual retains their restricted shares; however the holding lock remains in
place until the end of the three-year vesting period. Restricted shares are bought on market and granted at no cost to employees.
Plan valuation
The fair value of restricted shares has been determined as the market price of AMP ordinary shares on the grant date. As employees
holding restricted shares are entitled to dividend payments, no adjustment has been made to the fair value in respect of future
dividend payments. In determining the share-based payments expense for the period, the number of instruments expected to
vest has been adjusted to refl ect the number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the vesting period.
The following table shows the number of restricted shares that were granted during 2013 and the comparative period (2012), and
the fair value per instrument of restricted shares as at the grant date.

(e) Employee Share Acquisition Plan
Plan description
From time to time, AMP has provided employees and executives with the opportunity to become shareholders in AMP through
the employee share acquisition plan (ESAP), typically by way of salary sacrifi cing their fi xed remuneration or short-term incentive
to acquire shares. Depending on the terms of the particular award, participants may be entitled to receive matching shares
for shares acquired under the ESAP (eg the most recent awards provided one free share for every 10 shares acquired via salary
sacrifi ce). Additionally, AMP can provide employees with free shares under the ESAP. Where the awards are acquired at no cost to
the participant, service-based conditions must be met for the participant to receive their full entitlement. There are no performance
hurdles applying to the plan as it is primarily designed to encourage employee share ownership.
The plan was suspended mid-way through 2009 in Australia due to the changes to the taxation treatment of employee share
plan awards. Consequently, no shares have been acquired by Australian employees under the ESAP plan since mid-2009. The plan
continues to operate in New Zealand.
If applicable, matching shares are bought on market through an independent third party.
Participants who cease to be employed within the AMP group within the three-year holding period may lose their entitlement
to some or all of their matching shares or free shares, depending on the reason for leaving the company. To receive the maximum
entitlement, participants must be employed by AMP for the whole three-year period.
Plan valuation
All awards made during 2013, and the comparative year (2012), were offers to salary sacrifi ce to acquire shares, with matching
shares awarded on a one-for-ten basis after a three-year vesting period. Each matching share has been valued by external
consultants as the face value of an AMP ordinary share at the date the salary sacrifi ce shares were acquired, less the present value of
the expected dividends (to which the participant is not entitled until the end of the vesting period). The number of matching shares
expected to be granted is estimated based on the average number of shares held in the ESAP by each employee at the beginning of
each year. In determining the share-based payments expense for the period, the number of matching shares expected to be granted
has been adjusted to refl ect the number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the three-year vesting period.
The following table shows the number of matching shares expected to be granted based on the shares purchased by employees
under the ESAP during the current period and the comparative period, and the fair value.

Not more than 50 per cent holding, but consolidated because AMP is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its investment with the
entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity.
In the course of its normal operating investments activities the AMP life insurance entities’ statutory funds acquire equity interests
in entities which, in some cases, results in AMP holding a controlling interest in some of these investees. Certain controlled entities
of the AMP life entities’ statutory funds are operating companies which carry out business operations unrelated to the core wealth
management operation of the AMP group.
The AMP group has classifi ed operating companies, which are controlled entities of the AMP life entities’ statutory funds, as disposal
groups held for sale where they are subject to active sale processes at 31 December 2013 and a sale is expected to be completed
within a year. These operating companies are being disposed in accordance with the investment strategy of the fund which holds
the investment in these entities. Subsequent to being classifi ed as disposal groups an impairment of $7m to the assets of disposal
groups was recognised due to a decrease in their fair value. All disposal groups are held within the Australian Wealth Management
operating segment.
During the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2013, realised gains of $20m arose with respect to the sale of disposal groups
classifi ed as held for sale (2012: nil).
The major classes of assets and liabilities of the disposal groups as at 31 December 2013 are as follows:
Assets
Receivables
Inventory and other assets
Property, plant and equipment
Intangibles
Total assets of the disposal groups
Liabilities
Payables
Current tax liability
Provisions
Borrowings
Total liabilities of the disposal groups
Net assets of the disposal groups
Refer to note 23 Fair value information for details regarding fair value measurement.

The AMP group and the parent entity from time to time may incur obligations arising from litigation or various types of contracts
entered into in the normal course of business; including guarantees issued by the parent for performance obligations to controlled
entities in the AMP group.
The parent entity has entered into deeds to provide capital maintenance and liquidity support to AMP Bank Limited. At the reporting
date the likelihood of any outfl ow in settlement of these obligations is considered to be remote.
Where it is determined that the disclosure of information in relation to a contingent liability can be expected to prejudice seriously
the position of the AMP group (or its insurers) in a dispute, accounting standards allow AMP group not to disclose such information
and it is AMP group’s policy that such information is not to be disclosed in this note.
At the reporting date there were no other material contingent liabilities where the probability of any outfl ow in settlement was
greater than remote.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of AMP Limited
Report on the fi nancial report
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial report of AMP Limited, which comprises the statements of fi nancial position as at
31 December 2013, the statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash fl ows
for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the
directors’ declaration of the company and the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s
end or from time to time during the fi nancial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the fi nancial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are
necessary to enable the preparation of the fi nancial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the
fi nancial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial report is free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
fi nancial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to
the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to
the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
Opinion
In our opinion:
a. the fi nancial report of AMP Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
i
giving a true and fair view of the company’s and consolidated entity’s fi nancial positions as at 31 December 2013 and of
their performance for the year ended on that date; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
b. the fi nancial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
ii
Report on the remuneration report
We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2013. The directors
of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A
of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the remuneration report of AMP Limited for the year ended 31 December 2013 complies with section 300A of the
Corporations Act 2001.
