How Ameriprise Financial compares

For 130 years, Ameriprise has earned clients’ trust by providing goal-based advice. We offer the flexibility to match our services to your unique situation. Read about our unique approach.

Not all financial firms are the same

What matters most to you in life? It’s a big question. But it’s one of the many questions an Ameriprise financial advisor will ask to get a better understanding of you, your goals and your priorities. We reach beyond standard financial and retirement plans to provide a personalized financial advice strategy that is right for you.

Financial planners in the industry generally offer investment management, but not all investment managers offer a comprehensive approach to financial advice. Another way we’re different? Clients rate Ameriprise Financial 4.9 out of 5 in “always putting my interests first.”¹

¹Ameriprise created the Client Experience Survey to give clients an opportunity to rate their satisfaction with a financial advisor or practice for “overall satisfaction” and “always putting my interests first” using a scale of 1 to 5. Each client has an opportunity to access the Ameriprise Secure Client Site and provide a rating. The client satisfaction score is an average of all client responses for that advisor or practice within a rolling 24-month period as of 12/31/2023. There is no minimum number of responses required for an advisor or practice to receive a rating and advisors or practices may have received unfavorable ratings. Client experiences may vary, and working with any Ameriprise financial advisor or practice is not a guarantee of future financial results. Investors should not consider the Client Experience Survey score a substitute for their own research and evaluation of a financial advisor’s or practice’s qualifications.

²This recognition is from the 2024 Wants & Pricing Report from the Hearts & Wallets Investor QuantitativeTM Database. In the annual syndicated survey, respondents rate their financial services providers in various areas on a scale of 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied). The 2023 Investor Quantitative™ Database was fielded September 11– October 6, 2023, to 5,846 respondents in 36 quota cells (age, asset groups and gender) and weighted back to national representation based on age and assets using 144 age-asset weighting cells (6 age ranges and 24 asset ranges) drawn from the most recent Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances and Hearts & Wallets analysis. Sampling error is a function of sample size and response rate. At the national level, responses selected by 30% of households have a sampling error of +/- 0.8 ppts and +/- 1.2 ppts at 80% and 95% certainty, respectively. The report designates Top Performers in areas where customer ratings are “distinctively higher than customer ratings of other providers” ─meaning one or more providers achieved customer satisfaction that exceeds other providers. For each area, there may be multiple Top Performers or none. The analysis does not rank Top Performers. It is not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client's experience. This is also the sixth time Ameriprise has earned a Top Performer recognition in “Understands me and shares my values” based on data from 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. Ameriprise did not pay a fee to be evaluated in the study but did pay a fee to Hearts & Wallets cite the results.

³Ameriprise Financial Goal-Based Advice Survey. Results from July 2019 through July 2024, reflecting 13,352 client responses. The percentages cited reflect those who agree or strongly agree with each statement (on a 5-point scale). Clients may complete a survey via the secure site after their goals are published online.
