AMP has announced it has concluded a 12-month process assessing alternative advice models and will be selling its advice licensees and self-licensed offering.

The merger between Count and Diverger, first announced in September 2023, has completed to create Australia’s second-largest licensee with $30 billion in funds under advice.

Reflecting on its separation from Insignia Financial, Rhombus Advisory CEO Darren Whereat has shared how the firm is supporting the growth aspirations of its advice network.

Financial advisory group AZ NGA has announced a strategic partnership with a $294 billion global investment manager to support its acquisition plans.

Clime has entered into a heads of agreement to divest Madison Financial Group to a rival licensee for $2 million.

Once the AMP advice sale to Entireti is completed, the size of the combined licensees will be almost double that of the second-largest licensee Count, and the deal is being positively received by commentators and shareholders.
