The group will this year realise its aim to offer consolidated reporting on its retail funds when InvestmentLink is launched in the third quarter of this year. (It will also provide consolidated reporting for AMP’s retail funds through AMP Cli-ent/Product Data.
“We’ll have completed a journey we’ve been on since early 1998,” Harrison told Money Management last week.
