Our approach
Navigate the present while staying focused on your financial future with our exclusive Confident Retirement® approach. Ameriprise financial advisors will guide you – first by gaining an understanding of your goals, then by providing the personalized advice to help you reach them.
How the Confident Retirement approach works
Our Confident Retirement approach can help ensure you’re prepared for your financial future starting with your current situation. Together, you and your financial advisor identify actionable steps to help you bring your goals to life. The strategies you design together will address four key needs:
Covering Essentials
Essentials are the necessities - the monthly expenses that keep your life running. Your financial advisor helps you make the most of your income, build a cash reserve and cover essential expenses in retirement with guaranteed or stable income.
Ensuring Lifestyle
Lifestyle is about the things you want to do and how you want to live today and in the future. Your financial advisor helps you build an investment strategy based on your specific goals. In retirement, they’ll help identify a flexible and effective withdrawal plan.
Preparing for the Unexpected
The unexpected are events that could derail your plans. Your financial advisor helps you protect yourself from the certainty of uncertainty by covering the unexpected.
Leaving a Legacy
Legacy is about the impact you'll make on the people, charities, and causes that are important to you. Your financial advisor can help you plan now to maximize your giving and make your wishes known.
