The new business is being supported by AMP for a two-year period and all services commitments to customers remain unchanged.

History
Life insurance was the very first financial product offered to customers by AMP in 1849. It remained a core business for the group until 2020. Notification of the sale of AMP Life to Resolution Life was announced to the market on 25 October 2018. The plan was briefly “derailed” when the New Zealand aspects of the deal were blocked by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand though this was later resolved. On 15 May 2020, the market was notified that AMP Life's retirement investments and life insurance products would now be under one trustee and super fund. All policies made with AMP have continued to be honoured, as have services to customers and advisers.
