1Clients can respond to an internal Ameriprise survey and rate an advisor or practice, based on their overall satisfaction with the team or practice, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1= extremely dissatisfied to 5= extremely satisfied). Client experiences may vary and working with any Ameriprise practice is not a guarantee of future financial results. Investors should not consider this rating a substitute for their own research and evaluation of a financial practice’s qualifications. Not all clients may respond to these questions, and only clients with access to the Ameriprise Secure Client Site may submit a rating. Ratings reflect an average of all client responses received between 3/13/2018 and 12/31/2019.

This rating is not indicative of future performance and may not be representative of any one client’s experience, as the rating is an average of a sample of client experiences. Ameriprise paid a fee to Hearts & Wallets to cite the results of the survey.
