Item 1A. Risk Factors
49 rewritten, 29 added, 20 removed, 309 unchanged
[added: Such factors, which can be global, regional, national or local in nature, include: (i) the level and] volatility of the markets, including equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, currency values and other market indices and drivers; (ii) geopolitical strain, terrorism and armed conflicts, (iii) political dynamics or elections and social, economic and market conditions; (iv) the availability and cost of capital; (v) global health emergencies; (vi) technological changes and events; (vii) U.S. and foreign government [added: regulatory,] fiscal and tax policies; (viii) U.S. and foreign government ability, real or perceived, to avoid defaulting on government securities; (ix) the availability and cost of credit and hedge markets; (x) periods of elevated inflation; (xi) natural disasters such as weather catastrophes; and (xii) other factors affecting investor sentiment and confidence in the financial markets.
Furthermore, changes in consumer economic variables, such as the number and size of personal bankruptcy filings, the rate of unemployment, decreases in property values, and the level of consumer confidence and consumer debt, may substantially affect consumer financials, which, in turn, could impact client activity in [removed: all of] our businesses.
These factors [removed: will] [added: may] also impact client behavior.
Market downturns, stagnation, and volatility may cause, and have caused, individual investors to limit or decrease their participation in global [removed: markets] [added: markets, which may] negatively [removed: impacting] [added: impact] our retail business and/or our product sales.
Market conditions, regulatory actions, tax laws, and our competitive industry environment are among the reasons current shareholders in our mutual funds, closed-end funds, [removed: exchange traded funds (“ETFs”),] [added: ETFs,] hedge funds, OEICs, SICAVs, unit trusts, investment trusts and other pooled investment vehicles, contractholders in our annuity products and policyholders in our protection products may opt to withdraw cash values for those products (or for certain protection products, to reduce their withdrawal activity).
Downturns and volatility in markets or the departure of [removed: a] key [removed: client] [added: clients or advisors] have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on the revenues and returns from our asset management services, retail advisory accounts, variable annuity contracts, banking products and other products.
Further, a number of the products and services we make available to our clients are those offered by third parties and negative perceptions of these financial products and services (or the financial industry in general) may impact the number of withdrawals and [removed: redemptions or reduce purchases made by our clients, which would adversely impact the levels of our assets under management.]
Our clients can also reduce the aggregate amount of managed assets or shift their funds to other types of accounts with different fee rate structures, for any number of reasons, including investment performance, changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in investment preferences or investment management strategy (for example, “active” or “passive” investing styles or the proliferation of ETFs or other vehicles like separately managed accounts (“SMAs”)), changes in our (or our advisors’) reputation in the marketplace, a client’s view of [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability] factors, changes in client or relationship management, loss of key investment management personnel and financial market performance.
[removed: Discontinuing] [added: We discontinued] the sale of new fixed annuities and variable annuities with living [removed: benefits] [added: benefits, which we believe] will lessen this risk over time.
Although we [removed: have hedged] [added: hedge] a portion of the guarantees for the variable annuity contracts to mitigate the financial loss of equity and/or bond market declines or volatility, there can be no assurance that such a decline or volatility would not materially impact the profitability of certain products or product lines or our financial condition or results of operations.
[added: Depending on] how rapidly the market moves and other factors, we may need to access liquidity sources that are more costly, which could have an adverse impact on profitability or our results of operations or financial condition.
Volatility, uncertainty and disruption in the capital and credit markets may decrease available liquidity, which we may need to [removed: pay] [added: run] our [removed: expenses] [added: business] and [added: pay] dividends.
[added: In] addition, rating agencies continually evolve their ratings and other methodologies, and these changes can be to our detriment or benefit and have a material impact on how we view our liquidity and capital.
Intense [removed: competition] [added: competition, new technologies] and the economies of scale for larger competitors could negatively impact our ability to maintain or increase our market share and profitability.
Furthermore, [removed: our] [added: new and existing] competitors may be better able to address trends, structural changes, or movement of assets resulting from [added: new technologies, including Generative AI and blockchain, or adapt to] industry changes or in response to the uncertain regulatory environment in the U.S. and around the world.
We could experience lower sales, higher costs, [added: talent loss,] technology obsolescence or other developments that could negatively impact our results of operations.
Investment performance is a key competitive factor for our retail and institutional asset management products and services and is a key driver of growing assets under management and [added: advisement and obtaining the benefits of] economies of scale.
These impacts may reduce our aggregate amount of assets under management and [added: advisement and] reduce management fees.
We [removed: proactively assess] [added: actively manage] retention risks and invest in our [removed: employees] [added: people] to [removed: remain] [added: sustain our position as] an employer of choice.
[removed: The investment performance of our] [added: In] asset [removed: management products and services, as well as retention of our products] [added: management, delivering strong performance] and [removed: services by our clients, depend] [added: sustaining client relationships depends] on the [removed: strategies and] [added: strategic] decisions of our portfolio managers and analysts.
With respect to secured transactions, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral we [added: hold cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices insufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure.]
Capital and credit market volatility or a sudden devaluation of a specific product or security [removed: (such as the broad impacts experienced from the 2023 regional bank crisis)] can exacerbate, and has exacerbated, the risk of third-party defaults, bankruptcy filings, foreclosures, legal actions and other events that may limit the value of or restrict our access and our clients’ access to cash and investments.
Although we are not required to do so, we [removed: have elected in the past, and we] may elect [removed: in the future,] to compensate clients for losses incurred in response to such events, provide clients with temporary credit or liquidity or other support related to products that we manage, or provide credit liquidity or other support to the financial products we manage.
Maintaining and deepening relationships with these unaffiliated distributors is an important part of our growth strategy, as strong third-party distribution arrangements enhance our ability to market our products or service our clients and to increase our assets under [removed: management,] [added: management and advisement,] revenues and profitability.
The sale of third-party products to our clients (and further expansion of our advisor network’s product suite to include additional products of unaffiliated insurance companies and asset managers) may lower sales of our [removed: companies’ own] products, lead to higher surrenders or redemptions, or other developments which might not be fully offset by higher distribution revenues or other benefits, possibly resulting in an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Fixed maturity, equity, trading securities and short-term investments, which are reported at fair value on [removed: the] [added: our] Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent the majority of our total cash and invested assets.
As such, valuations may include inputs and assumptions that are less observable and may require greater estimation as well as valuation methods that are more sophisticated, [added: which may result in values less than the value at which the investments may be ultimately sold.]
These asset classes represented 8% of the carrying value of our investment portfolio as of December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
In [removed: July] 2016, we finalized various confidential enhancements with Genworth Life Insurance Company that have been shared, in the normal course of regular reviews, with our Domiciliary Regulators and rating agencies.
Reserves do not represent an exact calculation of the liability but, rather, are estimates of contract [removed: benefits and related expenses we expect to incur over time.]
[added: For most of our life insurance] and deferred annuity products, actual persistency that is lower than our persistency assumptions could have an adverse impact on profitability, especially in the early years of a policy or contract because we would be required to accelerate the amortization of expenses we deferred in connection with the acquisition of the policy or contract.
Climate change may also influence investor sentiment with respect to [removed: the Company] [added: Ameriprise] and investments in our portfolio and those available to clients through third parties.
The number of threats and events has increased substantially every year, which is expected to continue, particularly as the use of [removed: artificial intelligence] [added: AI] makes these attempts look more [removed: legitimate.][added: legitimate and is leveraged to improve their effectiveness.]
[removed: We have established policies and implemented] such technical and operational measures ourselves and have in place policies that require our service providers and franchisee advisors, each of which control locally their own technology operations, to do the same.
In addition, the ever-increasing reliance on technology systems and networks and the occurrence and potential adverse impact of attacks on such systems and [removed: networks (including in recent well-publicized security breaches at other companies),] [added: networks,] both generally and in the financial services industry, have enhanced government and regulatory scrutiny of the measures taken by companies to protect against cybersecurity threats and report incidents they suffer.
Despite the measures we have taken and may in the future take to address and mitigate cybersecurity, privacy and technology risks, we cannot be certain that our systems and networks, or those used by our vendors and franchisees, will not be subject to successful [added: attacks, breaches or interference.]
Experience may not emerge as expected and during periods of market volatility, or due to unforeseen events, the [removed: historically-derived] [added: historically derived] experience and correlations may not be valid.
The development and introduction of new products and services, including the creation of Asset Management and other products with a focus on [removed: environmental, social and governance] [added: values-based] matters, require continued innovative effort and may require significant time, resources, and ongoing support.
Further, avoiding introducing or encouraging certain new products (such as cryptocurrency) creates the risk of losing assets or new flows to [added: competitors who encourage or support those products.]
[removed: Artificial intelligence (including generative artificial intelligence)] [added: AI, including Generative AI,] presents many benefits in terms of operating efficiency, but also certain risks that we need to seek to mitigate through our strategic and risk management policies, such as reliance on information that may be inaccurate or unfairly discriminatory results.

Our success relies on attracting, engaging and retaining top talent in an increasingly competitive market.
While the job market has cooled in some industries, financial services remains exceptionally competitive for the best talent.
To expand access to top talent, we have strategically broadened our footprint, ensuring we have the right capabilities in place to support long-term growth.

A robust advisor network underpins our wealth management growth, requiring focused recruitment, retention, and succession planning as demographics shift.
Regulatory changes and industry trends can alter competitive dynamics or adversely affect our business.
Loss of employees or advisors without succession plans increases the risk of client attrition.
Prolonged challenges in attracting and retaining talent, or significant increases in related costs, could materially impact our financial performance.

We and our vendors, along with developers of AI solutions, rely on third‑party and commercial AI technologies that could introduce risks that are not anticipated by existing governance, vendor risk management and model oversight frameworks.
Failure to adequately mitigate such risks at the design or development stage could lead to problems when AI technologies are deployed.
A growing patchwork of state AI laws with differing definitions, obligations and compliance expectations may require adjustments to our processes, documentation and oversight of third‑party technology, and how we manage AI use in our business.
At the same time, more prescriptive frameworks in certain jurisdictions—such as the European Union—include detailed governance, transparency and reporting expectations that may not align with expectations or requirements elsewhere, increasing operational complexity.
Additionally, in the past we have found it necessary and

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, motivate, engage and retain high-performing and high-potential talent in a highly competitive industry.
Although the employment market is stabilizing compared to recent years, the financial services sector remains a highly competitive industry, especially for top talent.
Additionally, we have diversified our geographic footprint to attract and retain top talent globally, including expanding our workforce in India.
We are also dependent on our network of advisors to drive growth and results in our wealth management business (and for a significant portion of the sales of our products).
Recruiting and retaining financial advisors is highly competitive and constantly evolving.
From time to time there are regulatory-driven or other trends and developments within the industry that could potentially impact the dynamics between us and our competitors or negatively impact our business.
If employees or advisors who maintain relationships with our clients leave or retire without succession plans, we may not be able to retain valuable relationships, and our clients may choose to leave for a competitor.
If we experience a prolonged inability to attract and retain qualified individuals or our recruiting and retention costs increase significantly, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.

The primary drivers of the unlocking impact for 2025 included net unfavorable changes to variable annuity surrender and utilization assumptions, net unfavorable changes in LTC morbidity and mortality assumptions, favorable claims incidence rates on disability insurance, and net favorable model changes primarily related to cost of reinsurance and index credits associated with non-traditional insurance products.
Net investment income decreased $78 million, or 2%, for 2025 compared to the prior year primarily reflecting lower average invested assets supporting certificates and the unfavorable impact of declining investment portfolio yields, partially offset by the favorable impact of growth in structured variable annuities (“SVA”) products.

- A favorable impact from higher investment portfolio yields, along with higher investment balances driven by increased Ameriprise Bank, FSB (“Ameriprise Bank”) customer deposits, as well as higher structured variable annuities (“SVA”) balances.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In the prior year, the primary driver of the unlocking impact was lowered surrender assumptions on variable annuities with living benefits resulting in an expense.
Net investment income increased $442 million, or 14%, for 2024 compared to the prior year primarily due to the following impacts:
- The favorable impact of growth in Ameriprise Bank customer deposits and SVA products.
- The favorable impact of higher investment portfolio yields.
- A decrease in expense driven by variable annuity net outflows.
- An increase in expense due to market appreciation on contractual fees.

The Federal Reserve reduced rates in September, November, and December of 2024, lowering the federal funds effective rate an average of 67 basis points in the fourth quarter compared to the year ago quarter.
These rate cuts also impacted various short-term benchmark rates, upon which our floating rate securities and cash rates are indexed, which unfavorably impacted net investment income in the second half of 2024.

Net outflows were $20.4 billion for 2024 and included an $8.0 billion asset transfer related to a legacy insurance partner.
Distribution expenses increased $64 million, or 7%, for 2024 compared to the prior year primarily due to market appreciation, partially offset by the cumulative impact of net outflows.
Variable annuity sales increased 26% to $5.0 billion for 2024 compared to the prior year reflecting an increase in sales of SVAs.
Distribution expenses increased $51 million, or 11%, for 2024 compared to the prior year primarily reflecting higher sales of SVAs and market appreciation.
Change in fair value of market risk benefits, which exclude the market impact on variable annuity guaranteed benefits (net of hedges), increased $56 million, or 9%, for 2024 compared to the prior year primarily reflecting market appreciation on contractual fees.
On August 16, 2022, federal legislation commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted.
We have evaluated the tax provisions of the IRA, the most significant of which are the corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) and the share repurchase excise tax.
Both the CAMT and share repurchase tax were effective beginning in 2023.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The significant assumptions used by management to develop the fair value measurements of market risk benefits include utilization of guaranteed withdrawals, surrender rate, market [removed: volatility, nonperformance risk] [added: volatility] and [removed: mortality rate.][added: nonperformance risk.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the market risk benefits asset was [removed: $2,182] [added: $2,274] million and the market risk benefits liability was [removed: $1,263] [added: $1,182] million.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of market risk benefits is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the market risk benefits, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s significant assumptions related to utilization of guaranteed withdrawals, surrender rate, market [removed: volatility,] [added: volatility and] nonperformance risk [removed: and mortality rate] (collectively, the significant market risk benefit assumptions), and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

*Financial Instruments – Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,* which allows all entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the asset’s remaining life.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those years.

Amended and Restated Bylaws
On February 20, 2025, the Company’s Board approved, effective immediately, amendments to the Company’s by-laws (“By-Laws”).
The changes to the By-Laws include, among other things, amending:
- *Section 1.03 (Notice of Meetings; Waiver)* to clarify that the means of remote communication should be included in any notice of a remote meeting;
- *Section 1.09 (Organization; Procedure)* to provide that the presiding officer of stockholders’ meetings shall be a director or officer of the company and to clarify that determinations regarding whether a matter of business was property brought before a meeting of stockholders will be made by the board in advance of the meeting;
- *Section 1.10 (Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations)* to update the advance notice provisions including, without limitation:
◦to require certain information to be provided regarding the affiliates and associates of the stockholder submitting the notice and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (which are referred to in the By-Laws as a “Stockholder Related Person”);
◦to require a stockholder making a nomination to represent whether such stockholder will solicit proxies in support of such nomination in accordance with the universal proxy rules and to provide evidence that such stockholder has complied with the universal proxy rules;
◦to require certain additional information from the stockholder, beneficial owner and any Stockholder Related Person with respect to proxies to vote shares of the Company’s stock and rights to dividends or distributions on the shares of the Company’s stock that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of stock;
◦to remove any requirements that the stockholder’s notice include information from persons “acting in concert” with the stockholder or beneficial owner;
◦to revise the existing requirement that the proposed nominee provide information on his or her eligibility to serve as an independent director to instead require the proposed nominee to provide information on whether he or she is qualified under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, stock exchange rules or other laws applicable to the Company to serve as a director or independent director; and
◦to provide that the white proxy card is reserved for the exclusive use of the board.
- *Section 1.12 (Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement)* to clarify information required and time periods for providing and submitting required questionnaires with respect to a stockholder nomination under the advance notice provision;
- *Section 1.16 (Proxy Access)* to clarify that the “Required Information” to be provided in the notice of nomination only needs to be included in the proxy statement, to reflect the universal proxy rules, which provide another manner for a stockholder nominee to be included in the Company’s proxy materials, and to remove the language that any action, interpretation, or determination by the board under the proxy access provision is final and binding; and
- *Section 2.05 (Annual and Regular Meetings)* to provide additional flexibility in the timing of the annual meeting of the board.
The amendments to the By-Laws also include other changes to conform to recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, to conform various provisions of the By-Laws to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and to other provisions of the By-Laws and to make other general clean-up and clarifying changes.
