Ameriprise Financial Launches Risk-Managed Portfolio Series to Address Client Investment Goals

Ameriprise Financial, Inc., (NYSE:AMP) today launched a new series of managed account portfolios called Active PortfoliosSM. Offered through its subsidiary, Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., Active Portfolios are portfolios of mutual funds managed on a discretionary basis by professional money managers. Active Portfolios offer such features as institutional-quality asset allocation strategies and dynamic reallocation of portfolio holdings for an annual asset-based fee. These elements help Active Portfolios address clients accumulation and income investment goals while seeking to manage risk and limit portfolio volatility.

Active Portfolios provide Ameriprise financial advisors with a turnkey investment solution that allows them to spend more time working with clients on their unique Dream > Plan > TrackSM approach to financial planning.

The two portfolio series now available are the Active Accumulation PortfoliosSM and the Active Income PortfoliosSM. The portfolios are actively managed and monitored through a disciplined, quantitative investment process that seeks to provide risk-managed growth in the Active Accumulation Portfolios and inflation-adjusted income in the Active Income Portfolios. Once selected portfolio holdings are reallocated on a monthly basis in an effort to take advantage of market changes.

We built Active Portfolios to provide another solution to help clients meet their long-term goals, said Joe Sweeney, president, financial planning, products, services, Ameriprise Financial. Clients have the opportunity to leverage a product that has been developed to use sophisticated computer modeling that is driven by performance and quantitative analysis and not emotion for investment decisions.
