Our Mission

Ameriprise delivers financial solutions for today and tomorrow through a comprehensive and personalized financial planning approach built on a long-term relationship with a knowledgeable advisor.

Our values, our history and our experience can help make our clients dreams a reality. As a leader in financial services for more than 110 years, we have a long history of helping our clients reach their goals. Whether it was pioneering the mutual fund industry in the 1940s or introducing comprehensive financial planning to the world in the 1970s, we’ve always helped our clients envision their financial future — and helped them get there. Now we are proud to introduce Ameriprise Financial, a publicly traded company, as we become a separate entity from American Express. Our sole focus is helping the client prepare for what’s next.

Consider all the possibilities. The Ameriprise Financial story begins more than 110 years ago, advances with an enterprising spirit, and continues to be told and lived by our people. With over 10,000 advisors in more than 3,500 offices nationwide, we serve a range of communities, making our advisors highly accessible and able to address our clients’ concerns personally.

Our talented professionals—people of diverse skills, experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives—make a positive contribution to our clients’ lives by delivering a wide range of products and service. Often times, these are people who began their careers elsewhere—as teachers, managers, accountants, sales professionals, small business owners or in the military. Still others joined us right out of college. So what you’ve done is less important than what you can do.

To us, success is a never-ending process—one that doesn’t allow for complacency, but drives change and crafts solutions with imaginative ideas.

When you join Ameriprise Financial as a financial advisor, you have your choice of two very distinct career paths. Both offer you a high level of challenge, and excellent rewards. Which direction you take is up to you.
