AMP appointment continues SMSF push
AMP has appointed self-managed super fund (SMSF) specialist Craig Jameson to set up its newly-formed AMP SMSF business unit.
Jameson was previously managing director of the ANZ-owned SMSF specialist Super Concepts, the appointment coming less than a week after AMP announced it would be acquiring SMSF administrators Cavendish Group.
Jameson will be responsible for setting up the business operations for the new unit, including creating and implementing its business architecture and overall strategy, AMP stated.
Prior to joining Super Concepts in early 2009, he was ING Australia's head of strategy and transformation, customer solutions.
He has also worked as ING Australia's head of customer service for employer superannuation, Belle Property chief operating officer, and held a number of roles at Tower Australia, including head of operations, AMP stated.
AMP SMSF comprises AMP's existing SMSF administration businesses, Multiport and Ascend, and will work closely with SuperIQ, which is 49 per cent owned by AMP. The Cavendish acquisition is also expected to be completed in early July, AMP stated.
Jameson said the business unit offers customers a choice of administration providers, and will aim to develop customer and adviser-friendly SMSF offers to drive SMSF take-up across the AMP group.
