MLC is the wealth management division of the National Australia Bank (NAB). MLC provides investment, superannuation, insurance and private wealth solutions to corporate and institutional customers.
MLC supports the provision of quality financial advice through its financial planning networks including NAB Financial Planning, Godfrey Pembroke, Garvan Financial Planning, MLC Financial Planning and Apogee Financial Planning.
MLC manages $112.7 billion on behalf of individual investors and corporate customers in Australia (as at September 2011).
MLC uses a 'manager of managers' investment approach. This means MLC does not directly manage investment funds. Instead, MLC’s multi-manager options combine the expertise of up to 37 leading investment managers from around the world. This approach gives investors access to a combination of individually selected investment managers providing diversity across asset classes, within asset classes and across investment styles. The aim is to provide greater consistency of performance in variable market conditions compared to a single manager and significantly reduce risk without compromising the overall return. MLC is one of the largest multi-managers in the world.
MLC holds the number two position for personal insurance annual inforce premiums with 18.4% market share (source: DEXX&R Life Analysis, June 2011) and is the second largest provider of superannuation in Australia with 20.9% market share (source: Plan for Life QDS, June 2011).
MLC is the partner of choice for more than 1,700 self-employed aligned and salaried advisers in Australia. It is committed to growing and fostering its relationships with more than 4,000 independently owned and licensed advisers who choose MLC's financial solutions to meet the needs of their clients.
