<p><p>An average Australian household, given $1.5m to own a home, fixtures and fittings and a car (or 2 cars), plus $2.5m to invest for a passive income, would be setup for a secure and very comfortable life. That&#39;s $4m, max..</p>
<p>How then do we justify - morally or commercially - annual executive paypackets of many multiples of this figure?</p>
<p>Secondly, notable that the question was &#39;How many customers has AMP lost?&#39; rather than &#39;How many Clients were left without the care and guidance of a financial adviser?&#39;</p>
<p>As for the &#39;sell-off&#39; of a national asset, maybe boardmembers would gain some insight as to what the real purpose of the business is, by revisiting AMP&#39;s original mission: &#39;for the benefit of the widows and orphans of Sydney Town&#39;.</p>
<p>Perhaps a refocus on delivering financial security to our fellow Australians, rather than on so-called &#39;Wealth Management&#39;.</p>
<p>But would that deliver seven and eight figure executive paypackets?</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
