In addition to the particular regulations restricting dividend payments and establishing subsidiary capitalization
requirements, we take into account the overall health of the business, capital levels and risk management considerations
in determining a dividend strategy for payments to our parent holding company from our subsidiaries, and in deciding to
use cash to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the parent holding company received cash dividends or a return of capital
from its subsidiaries of $1.6 billion (including $800 million from RiverSource Life) and contributed cash to its subsidiaries
of $271 million (including $175 million to IDS Property Casualty). During the year ended December 31, 2014, the parent
holding company received cash dividends or a return of capital from its subsidiaries of $1.9 billion (including $900 million
from RiverSource Life) and contributed cash to its subsidiaries of $31 million.
The following table presents the dividends that could have been paid within the limitations of the applicable regulatory
authorities for each of the years ended December 31. Dividends in excess of these amounts required advance notice to
