AMP Capital has expanded its offering for retail investors by making three of its funds available to a new retail audience for the first time.

The AMP Capital Dynamic Markets Fund, Australian Equity Income Fund and Income Generator already have a strong track record. The first two funds have previously only been available to institutional investors while Income Generator has, until now, only been accessible via platforms.

AMP Capital Head of Retail and Corporate Business Craig Keary said: "There is a gap in the market for innovative investment products that are aligned to the needs of retail investors. These investors have goals, such as steady income or capital growth, that are often linked to the lifestyle they want to lead and subsequently they want products that can provide them with more certain investment outcomes.

"AMP Capital, as a leading fund manager with a strong focus on building solutions to meet specific needs, wants to bridge that gap. We have leveraged our deep investment experience to develop the AMP Capital Dynamic Markets Fund, Australian Equity Income Fund and Income Generator and are delighted to make them available to a wider range of investors, especially those who are self directed. The AMP Capital Australian Equity Income Fund and Income Generator will appeal to investors who have income goals that aren't being met by cash products in particular. We will be announcing further products in due course."

The AMP Capital Dynamic Markets Fund is targeted towards investors, such as accumulators or pre-retirees, who are concerned about market volatility and are looking for a cost-effective way to access active management. The fund adopts a dynamic asset allocation investment approach. This means the fund can reduce its allocation in asset classes or types of investments where we expect poorer performance and increase its allocation in asset classes where we expect better performance.

Clients who are looking for regular and stable income, lower volatility and medium to long-term capital growth are suited to the AMP Capital Income Generator. The fund has been specifically designed for pre-retirees and retirees. It delivers monthly income by actively managing a diversified range of income-producing assets such as Australian and global equities and fixed income.

The AMP Capital Australian Equity Income Fund will appeal to investors with a preference for a higher, more consistent income stream and a lower tolerance for capital volatility than they would achieve by investing in the broader equity market. It is also suitable for investors with a need for income that grows over time to mitigate against increases in the cost of living.
