AMP Limited is an Australian financial corporation. It operates primarily in Australia and New Zealand. AMP formed in 1849 as the Australian Mutual Provident About The Stock MarketSociety, a non-profit life insurance company. In 1998 it was demutualised and listed on the Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges. The company provides banking, life insurance, managed funds, superannuation, property, listed assets and infrastructure. AMP has one of Australia’s largest shareholder registers, with most shareholders living in Australia and New Zealand. This is because when the society demutualised, all policy holders received shares in the new company. Its UK operation was the subject of a demerger in 2003, separating out Henderson Group plc. The CEO is Craig Dunn.

AMP is Australia's largest retail and corporate superannuation provider, and one of the region's most significant investment managers with more than a$111 billion (as at 30 June 2010) in assets under management. AMP has two major businesses that deliver products and services to its customers in Australia and New Zealand – AMP Financial Services and AMP Capital Investors. AMP is a leading wealth management company operating in Australia and New Zealand, with selective investment management activities in Asia (through AMP Capital Investors) and a growing banking business in Australia.

AMP has two core business units: AMP Financial Services which provides financial planning advice, superannuation, retirement savings and income products, investments, risk insurance and selected banking products; and AMP Capital Investors which manages investments for clients across all the major asset classes including equities, fixed interest, infrastructure, property, diversified funds and multi-manager funds.
