Ameriprise Financial Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today announced that 95 of its financial advisors were named to the Forbes “Top Best in State Women Wealth Advisors” list. Forbes recognizes the industry’s top women advisors according to several factors, which include levels of ethical standards, professionalism, success in the business and client retention. The rankings are based on data provided by thousands of the nation’s most productive women advisors.

“It’s an honor to have such strong representation from Ameriprise on this list,” said Pat O’Connell, Executive Vice President of the Ameriprise Advisor Group & Ameriprise Financial Institutions Group. “We’re fortunate to have so many talented women advisors at our firm who are leaders in the industry and within their communities. They’re an inspiration to all of us at Ameriprise and are exceptional role models for the next generation of advisors.”

• Women Advisor Summits to provide a meaningful forum for women financial advisors to network and enhance skills to serve their clients effectively, grow their practices and develop in their careers.

“Congratulations to the advisors who’ve earned this recognition,” said Bill Williams, Executive Vice President of the Ameriprise Independent Advisors. “When clients face uncertainty and volatility in the markets like we’re seeing today, they want to turn to an advisor they trust who will help them stay focused on their long-term goals.

This ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com.
