Ameriprise Financial Annual Report 2013 1
Dear fellow shareholders,
2013 was a year of growth for Ameriprise Financial. From our
overall client offerings to assets under management and nancial
returns, we delivered record results.
Ameriprise is powered by the strength of our wealth management,
asset management and insurance businesses — through which
we advise, manage and protect our clients’ assets and income.
Each is a market leader on its own. However, it is the combination
of our businesses, the long-term relationships we develop with our
clients, and the strength of our nancial foundation that creates a
powerful and resilient nancial services franchise.
We have made tremendous progress over the past several years
guided by our vision to be the most respected and referred
nancial services rm. The compelling results we’re achieving
today are the outcome of the strategic priorities, executional
discipline and leadership principles that dene our rm.
Our strategy remains consistent and effective. We’ve proven
that by meeting the needs of our clients and advisors, executing
our strategy and maintaining our nancial strength, we can
consistently deliver shareholder value and capture opportunities
in the marketplace.
A year of growth
Ameriprise, like the industry, beneted from strong U.S. and
European equity markets in 2013, as well as increased investor
condence. While equity markets provided steady tailwinds
throughout the year, interest rates remained stubbornly low as
the U.S. Federal Reserve continued its unprecedented bond
buying program.
In this environment, we drove strong growth and protability
across our businesses. Our results and progress demonstrate
that we’re executing our strategy well and building on our solid
foundation.
JAMES M. CRACCHIOLO
CHAIRMAN AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
