Ameriprise is a wide-moat financial with a 72% ROE and a cheap 9.5x forward P/E, but the price of $490.83 is already 3.5% above the analyst target and momentum is soft, so the stance is to hold and accumulate only on weakness.

About Ameriprise Financial, Inc.
About Ameriprise Financial, Inc.
Ameriprise Financial managed $1.7 trillion in assets under management, administration, and advisement at December 31, 2025—up from $1.5 trillion a year earlier—across four operating segments: Advice & Wealth Management, Asset Management (Columbia Threadneedle, $721 billion), Retirement & Protection Solutions, and Corporate & Other. More than 10,000 financial advisors anchor the U.S. wealth management franchise, and the company's investment management business holds a presence in 16 key global markets.
Ameriprise earns revenue across three primary business lines. Advice & Wealth Management collects fee-based revenues tied to client asset levels, financial planning fees, transaction fees, and distribution fees for affiliated and third-party products sold through four advisor channels—the Ameriprise Franchise Group, Advisor Group, Personal Wealth Group, and Financial Institutions Group. Asset Management earns management fees on $721 billion through the Columbia Threadneedle platform globally, with performance fees available on certain strategies. The Retirement & Protection Solutions segment earns fees on variable annuity contract and benefit-base values plus net investment income on general account assets; RiverSource annuities and insurance are distributed exclusively through the Ameriprise advisor network. A significant portion of Asset Management revenue derives from Columbia Management mutual fund management agreements terminable on 60 days' notice. The company reinsures portions of term life, disability income, universal life, long-term care, and annuity blocks through coinsurance and renewable-term arrangements with unaffiliated reinsurers.
Show full overview
Ameriprise's insurance, annuity, and banking products carry material sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. The 10-K discloses that prolonged low rates could compress or invert spreads on long-term care and universal life with secondary guarantees, while rising rates could accelerate policy surrenders and annuity withdrawals as policyholders shift to higher-yielding alternatives—both scenarios partially hedged through derivatives. Structured variable annuity contracts carry index-linked account-value adjustments requiring derivative hedging; the 10-K notes that collateral requirements for the hedging program are market-sensitive and that certain environments, such as rising interest rates, may require access to more costly liquidity sources, weighing on profitability.
