company with additional asset gathering opportunities. We offer our life and health
insurance and annuities products largely to Ameriprise clients through an advice
relationship, not as transactional sales. And we benet from our deep
understanding of our clients’ goals and behavior.
We continue to focus on educating clients and advisors about the role insurance
and annuity products play in a comprehensive nancial plan. And consistent
with our priority to make it easy to conduct business, we simplied our
sales processes and enabled our advisors to submit new business
more efciently.
In 2014, variable annuity balances grew to $77 billion, as we beneted
from equity market growth. Assets in xed annuities declined due to low
sales given that interest rates remain at historically low levels. As we
work with clients to help ensure their retirement lifestyle through tax
management and protection, we’re selling more variable annuities
without living benets. This complements sales with living benets
as a way for clients to cover lifestyle expenses in retirement.
In life and health insurance, we remain focused on permanent
cash value insurance and other xed, indexed and variable
solutions, and we recently launched our next generation
multi-index universal life product. In addition, we generated
solid sales of universal life policies as a result of our new
RiverSource TrioSourceSM insurance product, which
includes a tax-qualied long-term care rider that ts well
within our comprehensive approach.
Delivering results with the
Condent Retirement approach
• 93% feel more confident about retirement
• 96% feel the advice addresses their needs
