Retirement income certainty and choice at the heart of North’s investment menu additions

AMP is pleased to announce the expansion of North’s managed account menu with the exciting new additions for the June quarter of BondAdviser, MST Income, and Elston Income managed portfolio series.

Following the recent launch of ‘North Blend’ in partnership with BlackRock and Lonsec Investment Solutions , North continues to expand its managed account menu with additional fixed income and income-focused portfolios for retirees, providing advisers with greater flexibility, certainty and choice.

FUM in North managed portfolios has grown from $2 billion to almost $20 billion in just four years.

The additions of BondAdviser, MST Income and Elston Income managed portfolio series to North provides advisers with greater flexibility and choice when it comes to creating tailored managed portfolio solutions – particularly for clients seeking income protection, certainty and fixed income in retirement.

The portfolios aim to provide retirees with more options to generate steady income and preserve their capital, while also limiting downside risk in the face of volatile markets.

The announcement follows the launch of practice level customisation in June 2025 thanks to North’s partnership with BlackRock and Lonsec Investment Solutions, with North continuing to evolve its managed portfolio offering and the breadth of its investment menu to meet the changing needs of advice practices large and small.

Along with its market-leading MyNorth Lifetime solution, managed accounts have been central to North attracting many new advisers, with funds under management growing from $2 billion to almost $20 billion in just four years

Announced today, the new Buy menu additions brings the number of managed portfolios on North to over 165 across 27 managers, supported by almost 400 Build portfolios across almost every consultant in the market.
