We are closely monitoring the current situation around COVID-19 and want to provide you a brief update on the actions we are progressing from across our business. While the disruption to economic activity is important for investors, the outbreak is foremost a human crisis and our thoughts are with all those affected and trying to combat the virus.

AMP Capital has always, and will continue to, invest in high quality assets for the long term. Price fluctuations are normal, and in the long run the best quality assets outperform. We understand the assets we invest in – real estate, infrastructure, global equities and the bond market – and have confidence in the underlying assets we own.
