AMP promoted Mr Pahari to lead AMP Capital in June after he was penalised $500,000 – or one quarter of his annual bonus – for breaching the bank's code of conduct after sexual harassment complaints were made by a female subordinate, Julia Szlakowski, in 2017.

The details of the case – including allegations Mr Pahari changed Ms Szlakowski's London hotel booking and repeatedly contacted her after 3am – were heard by the board when deciding which employee should lead the $198 billion division.

AMP chief executive Francesco De Ferrari said he and the board had "examined this matter at length" in the decision to promote Mr Pahari.
