earnings to shareholders through increased
dividends and ongoing share repurchases.
In 2015, we committed $2.1 billion to dividends
and share repurchases, including raising our
quarterly dividend 16%. In fact, we’ve increased
our dividend ten times since becoming a public
company in 2005, all while maintaining a strong
and prudent excess capital position.
Though the total shareholder return of Ameriprise
Financial common stock declined during the year,
over the past decade long-term shareholders
have been rewarded with one of the best returns
in nancial services.
Advice & Wealth Management — satisfying
clients’ needs, providing strong service and
attracting high-quality advisors
Our Advice & Wealth Management business is one
of the largest in the United States. The opportunity
for Ameriprise is signicant given the continued
transition of baby boomers to retirement, younger
generations accumulating wealth, and the acute
need for personal nancial advice. Ameriprise is
strongly situated to provide more Americans with
the nancial advice and solutions they need to
achieve their nancial goals.
Key to our ability to grow and preserve
shareholder value across market cycles is our
steadfast focus on our clients — both retail
and institutional. They are at the heart of our
diversied business model. Our Advice & Wealth
Management business, which is complemented
by our Protection and Annuity businesses,
serves client needs for a lifetime — from cash
and liquidity to growing and preserving wealth
and ultimately leaving a legacy. At the same
time, our Asset Management business is large
and diversied with a broad and high-performing
product line to serve individual and institutional
investors globally.
We’ve long held the position as the leading
nancial planning company in the United States.
We have more certied nancial planners than any
other rm and are a leader in retirement planning.
Our actions dene our reputation, and I’m pleased
that Ameriprise is recognized as a trusted nancial
services rm. We earned the highest forgiveness
rating for investment rms in an industry survey —
the third consecutive year that we have earned the
top spot.
We know our personal and comprehensive
approach to serving clients is ideal for helping
people condently navigate not only a volatile
