| Ameriprise Financial, Inc. 10
Our Clients
With more than 2 million retail clients and one of the largest branded advisor networks in the country,
Ameriprise Financial helps clients pursue their dreams with greater confidence and the increased
peace of mind that can come from having a long-term financial planning relationship. Our clients
share their hopes and dreams with us, and as appropriate, we provide them with financial planning
and advice, as well as a comprehensive range of solutions designed to help them reach their goals.
Baby boomers began turning 60 in 2006, marking the initial wave of those nearing or entering
traditional retirement. We believe that preparing for that stage of life and managing income
throughout that period are the key financial concerns of this huge consumer segment. Ameriprise
Financial actively reaches out to this group with a comprehensive financial planning model, and
we seek to understand their evolving retirement needs. We know fulfillment in retirement isn’t just
about the financial side. That’s why we commissioned a research study (see sidebar at right) that
reveals how Americans view their readiness for and happiness with retirement — thoughts and
attitudes we call the New Retirement Mindscape.SM
