Ameriprise Financial, Inc. 2006 Annual Report 7
To our shareholders,
It’s hard to believe that nearly a year and a half has passed since we rang the bell at the
New York Stock Exchange to introduce Ameriprise Financial, Inc. as an independent public
company following our spin off from American Express. We have accomplished more in
that short period of time than many thought possible, and yet we’re as focused as ever on
realizing the great potential before us.
In this, my second letter to shareholders, I would like to convey what we achieved in
2006 and how we intend to build upon the strong foundation and unique positioning we’ve
established as Ameriprise Financial.
2006: A defining year
I am extremely proud of all that we accomplished in a transformational fi rst full year as an
independent public company. We established the Ameriprise FinancialSM brand; energized
our advisor force; grew assets; invested in our product suite; strengthened our technology,
compliance and corporate functions; and continued to successfully execute a complex
separation from American Express.
James M. Cracchiolo,
Chairman and CEO
