For Investment Portfolio investors, capital was returned via a deposit into the investor’s nominated bank account or by cheque. A withdrawal confirmation was sent to investors.
For Superannuation and Pension members, capital proceeds were switched into a Trustee-determined replacement fund unless members had previously provided alternative instructions.
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which AMP Capital Enhanced Yield (the Fund) invests, has advised us recently of a proposal to wind up its underlying fund and sell its remaining assets. AMP Capital has since sold the largest asset in its underlying fund and as a result has paid a significantly higher special distribution of capital following the end of the March 2015 quarter.

On 23 April 2015 there was a large increase of approximately 55% in the unit price for the suspended OneAnswer Personal Super - AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (‘the Fund’). Members invested in the Fund will see the value of their investment in the Fund increase as a result.
For more information download the AMP CEY unit price update.
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (EYF) fell by approximately 7% effective 4 December 2014.
Why has the change to valuation occurred?
The main reason for the drop in the unit price was due to a change in valuation of the assets in the underlying fund, AMP Capital Structured High Yield Fund (SHY). The EYF has been impacted by a decline in the unit price owing to the discount in moving from the current valuation method to valuing SHY’s assets based on realisable value less costs to sell. The EYF Fund has received a number of repayments over 2014 which has allowed a significant portion of the remaining capital to be returned to investors.
Confirmation of wind up
AMP Capital advised us recently of a proposal to wind up the SHY in which the EYF invests. We have now been advised that the remaining assets of the SHY will be sold and the net proceeds distributed to investors. Once we receive the final distribution from the SHY, we will provide a further update on the future of the EYF.
For further information please speak to your financial adviser.
October 2014 – Special distribution for September 2014 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the September 2014 quarter. The underlying fund has received a number of pre-payments over 2014 which has allowed a significant portion of remaining capital to be returned to investors.
July 2014 – Special distribution for June 2014 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the June 2014 quarter.
June 2014 - Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 4.4% around 30 April 2014. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP’s Structured High Yield fund (SHY) attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in the Telepizza business. The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund invests into AMP’s SHY fund and has been impacted by a decline in the unit price. Telepizza is a leader in home delivery of pizzas in Spain and Portugal with a significant presence in South America as well. Telepizza’s earnings have come under significant pressure from the scale of the downturn in European markets, and particularly Spain in recent years. A decision was made to sell the asset and preserve value for investors. The impact for the OneAnswer Enhanced Yield fund was approximately a 4.4% drop in the unit price at 30 April 2014.
For further information please speak to your financial adviser.
April 2014 – Special distribution for March 2014 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the March 2014 quarter.
January 2014 – No special distribution for December 2013 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be no distribution of capital or income following the end of the December 2013 quarter.
AMP Capital advised that available income/cash will be set aside to offset expected foreign exchange losses resulting from the recent depreciation of the Australian dollar. A number of the investments of the Fund are held outside of Australia.
December 2013 – Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund fell by approximately 6.98% around 19 December 2013. The main reason was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why did the asset write down occur?
One of the underlying investments, APCOA, accessed through the AMP Capital Strategic High Yield Fund, is undergoing capital restructure which could lead to a material loss on the loan, and as such impairment has been recognised.
APCOA is a European car parking business based in Germany.
Under the terms of the AMP Capital Illiquid Debt Valuation Policy, the final impairment adjustment for APCOA will be made using an independent valuation by an appropriately qualified external valuer. In the interim, the AMP Capital Strategic High Yield Fund’s investment team has recorded an impairment adjustment based on the average of quotes provided by recognised European brokers. This impairment adjustment will apply until a solution is agreed which would then allow the debt to be valued externally.
December 2013 – Details of upcoming December 2013 quarterly payment
We will confirm payments (if applicable) during January 2014.
Please refer to the 'Special distribution' tab for details on payments for the September 2013 quarter.

September 2012 – unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 2.1% around 23 August 2012. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP’s Structured High Yield fund (SHY) attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in the AirServ business. The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund invests into AMP’s SHY fund and has been impacted by a decline in the unit price. In the last 12-18 months AirServ has been impacted by declining consumer demand for its product – Coin operated vending machines. AirServ operates in a highly competitive environment and with the company facing capital constraints it has been difficult for them to match the competition. Following an independent valuation a write-down of the value of the AirServ asset from USD 86.1 million to USD 65 million was made. The impact for the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund was approximately a 2.1% drop in the unit price on 23 August 2012.
For further information please speak to your financial adviser.
July 2012 – special distribution for June 2012 quarter

December 2010 - unit price drop due to asset write down
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 4% around 7 December 2010. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital. The asset write down related to the underlying funds investment (indirectly through another fund) in the well known Godfreys vacuum cleaner business.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
In 2009 Godfreys undertook a capital restructure to provide greater flexibility to the company’s working capital. However the turnaround in the Godfreys business was slower than required. A further capital restructure is required to avert a future default under the loan facility. An independent valuation was obtained for the underlying investment in Godfreys and resulted in a write-down of the value of the holding in Godfreys.
AMP will continue to monitor the value of the Godfreys asset over the next few months as the restructure takes place. AMP remains committed to managing the underlying fund in the interests of its members and continues to make every effort to maximise performance for its investors.
Further details will be provided to clients and advisers as it becomes available. For further information please speak to your financial adviser.

Background information
Click on the headings below for further information.
October 2008
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital) advised that as a result of reduced liquidity in the underlying fund, redemptions would be extended from the current period to 12 months. Since this initial announcement the following events have taken place.
2 December 2008
AMP Capital announced that the underlying fund would allow withdrawals on a quarterly basis with the first offer being made in the first quarter of 2009. OnePath only received a payment from AMP Capital following one of the quarterly redemption periods this year, hence OnePath has only opened one withdrawal offer to OneAnswer investors during 2009.
February 2009
AMP Capital closed the fund to new investors as a result of continued poor market conditions.
April 2009 and July 2009
AMP Capital did not make any payments out of the fund for investors as a result of continued poor liquidity within the Fund.
In November 2009 AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund, provided OnePath with details of quarterly ‘special distributions’ of capital and income which we will be passing on to investors in the AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (the Fund). AMP Capital also provided information about changes they have made to the underlying fund’s benchmark asset allocation.
It is important to remember investors are invested in the Fund through OneAnswer and not directly with the underlying fund manager, AMP Capital.
Special distributions replace withdrawal windows
AMP Capital has replaced withdrawal windows with special distributions of both capital and income. A withdrawal offer was made in March – April 2009, during which time investors could lodge withdrawal requests. There will be no future withdrawal offers from the Fund.
Important information - illiquidity of the underlying fund and changes to asset allocation
Due to the illiquidity of the assets in the underlying fund, the target asset allocation of 50% traded high yield and 50% private debt has been removed. This has been removed to enable the underlying fund to sell the traded high yield assets to pay out capital to investors from the liquid assets of the underlying fund. As a result, the less liquid assets will begin to occupy a greater proportion of the underlying fund.

October 2013 – Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund fell by approximately 1.7% around the end of September 2013. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why did the asset write down occur?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP Capital’s Structured High Yield (SHY) Fund attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in Zodiac Marine (Zodiac). The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund invests into AMP Capital’s SHY Fund.
Following an independent valuation, a write-down of the value of debt securities issued by Zodiac occurred. This led to a reduction in the unit price of the AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund.
The impact for the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund was an approximate 1.7% drop in the unit price around the end of September 2013.
According to AMP Capital, Zodiac is a global business whose key territories are the US, Europe and Australia. Zodiac’s business activity is the development and manufacture of branded swimming pool equipment, with the majority of revenues coming from after-market products (i.e. after the pool has been built). Zodiac continues to trade poorly, particularly as a result of weak European markets. Its US business has recently seen a good improvement and is trading on budget. Australia has been weaker as the economy has slowed.
AMP Capital has advised that the independent valuer will continue to revalue Zodiac’s investments at six monthly intervals going forward. We will advise of any further significant impacts on the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund.

On 23 April 2015 there was a large increase of approximately 55% in the unit price for the suspended OneAnswer Personal Super - AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (‘the Fund’). Members invested in the Fund will see the value of their investment in the Fund increase as a result.
For more information download the AMP CEY unit price update.
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (EYF) fell by approximately 7% effective 4 December 2014.
Why has the change to valuation occurred?
The main reason for the drop in the unit price was due to a change in valuation of the assets in the underlying fund, AMP Capital Structured High Yield Fund (SHY). The EYF has been impacted by a decline in the unit price owing to the discount in moving from the current valuation method to valuing SHY’s assets based on realisable value less costs to sell. The EYF Fund has received a number of repayments over 2014 which has allowed a significant portion of the remaining capital to be returned to investors.
Confirmation of wind up
AMP Capital advised us recently of a proposal to wind up the SHY in which the EYF invests. We have now been advised that the remaining assets of the SHY will be sold and the net proceeds distributed to investors. Once we receive the final distribution from the SHY, we will provide a further update on the future of the EYF.
For further information please speak to your financial adviser.

AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the September 2014 quarter. The underlying fund has received a number of pre-payments over 2014 which has allowed a significant portion of remaining capital to be returned to investors.
July 2014 – Special distribution for June 2014 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the June 2014 quarter.
June 2014 - Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 4.4% around 30 April 2014. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP’s Structured High Yield fund (SHY) attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in the Telepizza business. The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund invests into AMP’s SHY fund and has been impacted by a decline in the unit price. Telepizza is a leader in home delivery of pizzas in Spain and Portugal with a significant presence in South America as well. Telepizza’s earnings have come under significant pressure from the scale of the downturn in European markets, and particularly Spain in recent years. A decision was made to sell the asset and preserve value for investors. The impact for the OneAnswer Enhanced Yield fund was approximately a 4.4% drop in the unit price at 30 April 2014.
For further information please speak to your financial adviser.
April 2014 – Special distribution for March 2014 quarter
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be a special distribution of capital following the end of the March 2014 quarter.

AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund into which the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund (the Fund) invests, has advised there will be no distribution of capital or income following the end of the December 2013 quarter.
AMP Capital advised that available income/cash will be set aside to offset expected foreign exchange losses resulting from the recent depreciation of the Australian dollar. A number of the investments of the Fund are held outside of Australia.
December 2013 – Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund fell by approximately 6.98% around 19 December 2013. The main reason was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why did the asset write down occur?
One of the underlying investments, APCOA, accessed through the AMP Capital Strategic High Yield Fund, is undergoing capital restructure which could lead to a material loss on the loan, and as such impairment has been recognised.
APCOA is a European car parking business based in Germany.
Under the terms of the AMP Capital Illiquid Debt Valuation Policy, the final impairment adjustment for APCOA will be made using an independent valuation by an appropriately qualified external valuer. In the interim, the AMP Capital Strategic High Yield Fund’s investment team has recorded an impairment adjustment based on the average of quotes provided by recognised European brokers. This impairment adjustment will apply until a solution is agreed which would then allow the debt to be valued externally.

September 2012 – unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 2.1% around 23 August 2012. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP’s Structured High Yield fund (SHY) attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in the AirServ business. The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund invests into AMP’s SHY fund and has been impacted by a decline in the unit price. In the last 12-18 months AirServ has been impacted by declining consumer demand for its product – Coin operated vending machines. AirServ operates in a highly competitive environment and with the company facing capital constraints it has been difficult for them to match the competition. Following an independent valuation a write-down of the value of the AirServ asset from USD 86.1 million to USD 65 million was made. The impact for the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund was approximately a 2.1% drop in the unit price on 23 August 2012.

December 2010 - unit price drop due to asset write down
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund fell by approximately 4% around 7 December 2010. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital. The asset write down related to the underlying funds investment (indirectly through another fund) in the well known Godfreys vacuum cleaner business.
Why has the asset write down occurred?
In 2009 Godfreys undertook a capital restructure to provide greater flexibility to the company’s working capital. However the turnaround in the Godfreys business was slower than required. A further capital restructure is required to avert a future default under the loan facility. An independent valuation was obtained for the underlying investment in Godfreys and resulted in a write-down of the value of the holding in Godfreys.
AMP will continue to monitor the value of the Godfreys asset over the next few months as the restructure takes place. AMP remains committed to managing the underlying fund in the interests of its members and continues to make every effort to maximise performance for its investors.
Further details will be provided to clients and advisers as it becomes available. For further information please speak to your financial adviser.

Background information
Click on the headings below for further information.
October 2008
AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital) advised that as a result of reduced liquidity in the underlying fund, redemptions would be extended from the current period to 12 months. Since this initial announcement the following events have taken place.
2 December 2008
AMP Capital announced that the underlying fund would allow withdrawals on a quarterly basis with the first offer being made in the first quarter of 2009. OnePath only received a payment from AMP Capital following one of the quarterly redemption periods this year, hence OnePath has only opened one withdrawal offer to OneAnswer investors during 2009.
February 2009
AMP Capital closed the fund to new investors as a result of continued poor market conditions.
April 2009 and July 2009
AMP Capital did not make any payments out of the fund for investors as a result of continued poor liquidity within the Fund.
In November 2009 AMP Capital Investors (AMP Capital), the fund manager of the underlying fund, provided OnePath with details of quarterly ‘special distributions’ of capital and income which we will be passing on to investors in the AMP Capital Enhanced Yield fund (the Fund). AMP Capital also provided information about changes they have made to the underlying fund’s benchmark asset allocation.
It is important to remember investors are invested in the Fund through OneAnswer and not directly with the underlying fund manager, AMP Capital.
Special distributions replace withdrawal windows
AMP Capital has replaced withdrawal windows with special distributions of both capital and income. A withdrawal offer was made in March – April 2009, during which time investors could lodge withdrawal requests. There will be no future withdrawal offers from the Fund.
Important information - illiquidity of the underlying fund and changes to asset allocation
Due to the illiquidity of the assets in the underlying fund, the target asset allocation of 50% traded high yield and 50% private debt has been removed. This has been removed to enable the underlying fund to sell the traded high yield assets to pay out capital to investors from the liquid assets of the underlying fund. As a result, the less liquid assets will begin to occupy a greater proportion of the underlying fund.

October 2013 – Unit price update
The unit price of the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund fell by approximately 1.7% around the end of September 2013. The main reason for the drop in the unit price was an asset write-down in the underlying fund managed by AMP Capital.
Why did the asset write down occur?
AMP Capital advised us recently of a decline in the value of AMP Capital’s Structured High Yield (SHY) Fund attributed to an asset-write down of its investment in Zodiac Marine (Zodiac). The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund invests into AMP Capital’s SHY Fund.
Following an independent valuation, a write-down of the value of debt securities issued by Zodiac occurred. This led to a reduction in the unit price of the AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund.
The impact for the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund was an approximate 1.7% drop in the unit price around the end of September 2013.
According to AMP Capital, Zodiac is a global business whose key territories are the US, Europe and Australia. Zodiac’s business activity is the development and manufacture of branded swimming pool equipment, with the majority of revenues coming from after-market products (i.e. after the pool has been built). Zodiac continues to trade poorly, particularly as a result of weak European markets. Its US business has recently seen a good improvement and is trading on budget. Australia has been weaker as the economy has slowed.
AMP Capital has advised that the independent valuer will continue to revalue Zodiac’s investments at six monthly intervals going forward. We will advise of any further significant impacts on the OneAnswer AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund.
