Top ratings in the investment industry

¹ Newsweek and Statista recognized America’s Most Trusted Companies in 22 industries based on surveys issued to 50,000 U.S. residents from June 28-August 13, 2021. Respondents chose from a list of all U.S.-based companies with revenues over $500 million, rating those with which they were familiar in three areas of trust: customer, investor, and employee. 110,000 evaluations were generated and companies with scandals were eliminated, resulting in a list of 400 companies. Ameriprise placed 20th of 21 companies in the Financial Services industry that earned a ranking. For more information click here. 

² The Most Trusted Financial Companies Survey is issued by Investor's Business Daily and TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, ranking financial companies based on consumer trust. The study was conducted in two phases between July 9 and Aug. 11, 2021, with 343 individuals responding to Phase 1 and 6,578 participants in Phase 2. Seventy-four companies met the requirements for inclusion in the rankings, i.e., 100 or 125 respondents, depending on the category. 

Phase 1 identified attributes of financial institutions that are most important to consumers in terms of “trust.” Phase 2 used the attributes defined in Phase 1 and respondents evaluated companies on a five-point scale based on how much they trusted the company regarding that attribute. Scores were computed by taking the difference between the percentage of respondents giving high and low scores. Percentages were weighted and used to produce the Trust Index rating.

³Clients can respond to an internal Ameriprise survey and rate an advisor or practice based on their 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 Financial 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. Only clients with access to the Ameriprise Secure Client Site may submit a rating. Ratings reflect an average of all client responses received over a rolling two-year period as of 12/31/2021.

⁴Ameriprise Financial Goal-Based Advice Survey. Results from July 2018 through June 2021, reflecting 5,969 client responses. The percentages cited reflect those who agree or strongly agree with each statement (on a 5-point scale). Clients may complete a survey via the secure site after their goals are published online.

⁹Wants & Pricing Report (April 2021, the most recent report) from the Hearts & Wallets Investor Quantitative^TM Database. In this annual syndicated survey respondents are asked to rate their financial services providers in a variety of areas on a scale of 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied). 5,920 respondents provided 10,163 sets of ratings. The report designates Hearts & Wallets Top Performers in areas where customer ratings for one or more providers are “distinctively higher than customer ratings of other providers.” For each area there may be several Top Performers or none. The analysis does not seek to designate any provider as “first” or rank Top Performers. 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.
