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.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
