Job Titles and Descriptions:

Who are Ameriprise financial advisors?

We are The Personal Advisors of Ameriprise Financial. Our advisors don't look at financial planning as a one-time event. It's a collaboration that takes place over a number of years, even decades, and is centered around unique ideas for the clients' future. Our goal is to turn the clients' dreams into a financial reality. We do this by getting to know our clients personally- their goals, their concerns, their dreams-so that we can develop a financial plan and customize solutions accordingly. That's how we help over two million people feel greater peace of mind about their financial futures.

Our mission as Ameriprise financial advisors is to deliver financial solutions for today and tomorrow through a comprehensive and personalized financial planning approach built on a long-term relationship with a knowledgeable advisor.

How to achieve independence-without having to go it alone.

Ameriprise Financial is about helping people achieve their goals. That extends to our employees as well. As a financial advisor, you manage and structure your own practice. Your hard work drives your compensation and career growth. It's an entrepreneurial opportunity. Yet we'll give you the support you need to meet each goal:

• Skills training in financial planning, consultative selling, client service, and regulatory compliance
• Advanced professional development through workshops, drills, phone clinics, demonstrations, interactive Internet sessions, satellite television, and conferences
• Core Curriculum training
• One-on-one field training and support from local leaders
• Detailed product, service, and compliance materials
• Options and opportunities to prepare for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation exam
• More than 3,000 financial products and investment funds to recommend/sell
• Sophisticated financial planning software
• Ongoing mentoring and support
• National advertising presence
• Local marketing programs

Where will you go as an Ameriprise financial advisor? How much will you get out of it? It's up to you. You can take advantage of diverse career tracks, succession planning and the support of associate financial advisors if you choose to employ.

What does it take to be an Ameriprise financial advisor?

Most important is your desire and ability to build long-term client relationships. You'll also need solid analytical skills, an entrepreneurial spirit, a flair for communication, and a passion for learning. You also must pass all necessary exams and obtain appropriate registrations licensure-both areas with which we can help you.

Of course, any professional experience you may have will be a big help. And it doesn't have to be in financial services. In fact, many of our most successful advisors began their careers as teachers, managers, accountants, sales professionals, small business owners, or in the military. Still others have joined us right out of college. So what you've done is less important that what you're capable of doing.

How great the rewards.

The rewards that come with being an Ameriprise financial advisor are many. With compensation based on performance, your income grows as your practice grows. Many of our financial advisors enjoy an income and lifestyle similar to that of doctors, lawyers, and other successful professionals.

Even greater than the financial rewards, though, is the respect you'll get from your community-the satisfaction of knowing people rely on your skills and recommendations. It's a good feeling. And one that grows right along with your business.

How to join us.

When you're ready for the challenge-and reward-of building your own practice with a leader in financial planning, come to Ameriprise Financial.
