Performance Graph
The accompanying graph compares the cumulative 15 month
total return of holders of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. common
stock with the cumulative total returns of the S&P 500 Index,
the S&P Financials line-of-business index and a Financial
Services Composite Group of 17 companies listed in Note 1.
The graph assumes that the value of the investment in our
common stock, in each index, and in the Financial Services
Composite Group (including reinvestment of dividends) was
$100 on October 3, 2005 (when “regular way” trading in our
common shares began on the New York Stock Exchange) and
tracks it through December 31, 2006.
The S&P Financials line-of-business index includes several
businesses that are not currently included in our Financial
Services Composite Group. We believe the S&P Financials
line-of-business index more closely matches our business
lines and better reflects our company’s underlying economic
drivers than the Financial Services Composite Group. As a
result, we intend to use the S&P Financials line-of-business
index in future performance graphs. The Financial Services
Composite Group is included because it was contained in the
graph in our proxy statement last year.
