Is AMP to be Penalised?
Meanwhile, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) proposed to impose a fine of between $24 million and $36 million on AMP Limited (ASX:AMP) , a financial services company in Australia and New Zealand, due to the contravention of financial services laws. As per ASIC, there was a breach in 120 cases, but AMP stated that it had violated the law only twice and was therefore liable to pay a fine of $1.2 million to $1.5 million. The case pertains to insurance âre-writingâ or âchurningâ, wherein customers are advised to cancel their life insurance and take out new cover, exposing them to underwriting risks. After referring to internal emails, it was inferred that AMP was aware of the gravity of conduct but failed to deal with the issue. The size of the penalty is now dependent on the number of breaches that AMP has committed.
AMP closed the day flat at A$2.070, with over 20 million shares changing hands. The market capitalisation of the company is A$6.1 billion.
