AMP Financial Services has launched what it is describing as an "all in one super and retirement product", providing a catalyst for the closure of four of the company's super products.
The company announced to the Australian Securities Exchange today that it was launching AMP Flexible Super at the same as streamlining its corporate super product range.
It said the change reduced the number of AMP superannuation and pension products on offer from six to two.
Commenting on the move, AMP Financial Services managing director Craig Meller said the changes were in response to changing customer demand and positioning the company for growth.
He said AMP Flexible Super would provide customers with one account for life and catered to AMP's broad customer base by offering a single entry-level option, which could then be added to through different life stages.
Meller said AMP Flexible Super replaced the existing retail and employer versions of the AMP Flexible Lifetime superannuation retirement products.
He said these products together with corporate super products CustomSuper and SuperLeader would be closed to new business from 1 July.

Rest Super remains “fully committed” to equities, even as it anticipates higher market volatility than experienced in previous decades.
Australian superannuation funds have again generated strong returns for FY25, with the median growth fund returning 10.5 per cent for the year, according to Chant West.
The US remains a standout destination for innovation and commercialisation, according to MLC Asset Management chief investment officer Dan Farmer.
