Auckland-based Salt Funds Management has been appointed as the external manager of AMP Capital's $690 million active New Zealand equities portfolios.
The AMP mandate will increase Salt's funds under management to more than $1 billion.
AMP announced in January it would outsource its local active equities management operations to a third party.
That followed a string of staff departures from AMP, including former deputy head of equities John Phipps and portfolio manager Douglas Lau.
