Our history
Company Overview
John Tappan founded Ameriprise Financial with a singular vision, to help ordinary Americans achieve their financial dreams and feel confident about their futures. Throughout our long history, we have remained steadfast to this vision of putting our clients’ needs first, always.
The strength of this commitment is matched only by our strength as a company. Through downturns, recessions, booms, the Great Depression and the recent Great Recession, we have honored every financial obligation to our clients and have never taken a bailout.
Over the years, we’ve helped millions of people invest billions of dollars for what’s important to them. Today, we are America’s largest financial planning company1 and a leading global financial institution, with more than $650 billion in assets under management and administration2.
Every day – true to Tappan’s vision -- our 10,000 financial advisors2 work with our clients one-to-one, to help put their dreams and goals more within reach.
