Feb 14 (Reuters) - Australia's AMP AMP.AX posted a 15% rise in yearly profit on Friday, owing to resilience across its businesses, except in its banking division, coupled with continued cost-cutting measures.
The money manager reported an underlying net profit after tax of A$236 million for the year ended December 31, compared to A$205 million a year ago.
That beat the Visible Alpha consensus estimate of A$229.9 million, according to UBS.
