About

Ameriprise Financial Services is a large, diversified advisory firm that serves individual and institutional clients and offers a specialized Ameriprise Premier Retirement Income service for clients approaching or in retirement. The Service delivers a written Recommendation Report and ongoing annual retirement‑income planning advice focused on dependable income sources and tax‑aware withdrawal strategies.

The retirement income offering is produced by a centralized Service team that collaborates with the client’s Ameriprise financial advisor; implementation is non‑discretionary and clients or their advisors act on the recommendations. Analysis for the Recommendation Report draws on Ameriprise’s investment research, third‑party data and algorithmic tools overseen by an internal committee, and typically addresses asset allocation, asset‑bucketing/adaptive withdrawal approaches, and Social Security claiming options.

Distinctive features include restrictive enrollment criteria that require a minimum level of investable assets and the inclusion of Ameriprise managed account assets (and therefore assets held at Ameriprise) to participate, which is more limiting than many large advisory programs. The firm’s recommendations operate within an investment universe influenced by its affiliated product ecosystem and distribution arrangements — including Columbia and RiverSource sub‑advised options, AEIS cost‑reimbursement relationships for some investment portfolios, and a StartingPoint list that privileges participating fund firms — and Ameriprise discloses these economic relationships and rebates certain fund‑level fees in Managed Accounts.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor.

We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
