Second quarter adjusted operating earnings per diluted share was $5.27. Adjusted operating EPS increased 39 percent from the prior year excluding a negative prior year period tax impact of $1.14 per diluted share, reflecting strong business growth.		Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
		"Ameriprise delivered a strong second quarter and a record first half in operating revenue, earnings and EPS, as we continue to build on our momentum. We are delivering an excellent client experience and deepening relationships, which is driving continued growth in the business. "In the quarter, nearly 80 percent of revenue and pretax earnings were driven by our asset-light Advice and Wealth Management and Asset Management businesses. "We also announced a number of important strategic actions, including the acquisition of BMO's EMEA asset management business and a significant reinsurance transaction. Together, these moves complement our organic growth while also adding key capabilities and generating shareholder value."
Second quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $4.88, which was impacted by market changes that affected the valuation of derivatives. In the prior year period, results were impacted by changes in the company's credit spread and the valuation of derivatives used to hedge the company's variable annuity living benefit guarantees.
Adjusted operating net revenue was $3.4 billion, a 22 percent increase from strong organic growth.
General and administrative expenses were well managed in light of business growth, up 6 percent.
Assets under management and administration were up 28 percent to $1.2 trillion, a record high from strong client flows in Wealth and Asset Management, as well as market appreciation.
The company continues to generate strong organic growth, with over $16 billion of client net inflows from Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management.
Investment performance at Columbia Threadneedle Investments remains excellent with 110 funds with 4- and 5-star Morningstar ratings.
The company returned $585 million of capital to shareholders in the quarter, which was 92 percent of adjusted operating earnings.
During the quarter, the company made substantial progress in expanding its growth businesses and reducing its risk profile.
On June 29, 2021, Ameriprise announced that its insurance subsidiaries entered into an agreement to reinsure approximately $8.0 billion of fixed annuities, which will free up approximately $700 million of capital. In July, the RiverSource Life Insurance Company transaction closed.
Ameriprise is on track to close its acquisition of BMO's EMEA Asset Management business in the fourth quarter of 2021. The acquisition expands key capabilities in attractive and growing market segments where BMO EMEA Asset Management has leading positions.
⁽¹⁾ Return on equity excluding AOCI is calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.

As indicated, the severe market dislocation and steep interest rate reduction in the first quarter of 2020 related to COVID-19 distorted the company's prior year GAAP and operating results. This included a tax benefit from a projected net operating loss (NOL) in the first quarter of 2020 that was reversed in the second quarter of 2020.

Asset Management pretax adjusted operating earnings were $253 million, up 79 percent, reflecting strong market appreciation and the cumulative benefit of net inflows. The net pretax adjusted operating margin was 45.4 percent. On a sequential basis, pretax operating earnings increased 11 percent and pretax adjusted operating margin expanded 150 basis points.

Adjusted operating revenues increased 32 percent to $879 million from the cumulative benefit of inflows and higher equity markets. The overall fee rate remained strong at 52 basis points. On a sequential basis, revenues increased 6 percent.

Adjusted operating expenses increased 19 percent. General and administrative expenses grew 12 percent driven primarily from strong business performance that drove higher compensation expense and foreign exchange translation, as well as the costs associated with increased activity levels.

Total assets under management increased 25 percent to $593 billion reflecting equity market appreciation and net inflows. Investment performance remained strong across equity, fixed income and asset-allocation strategies.

In the quarter, net inflows were $6.7 billion, an improvement of $4.1 billion from a year ago. Net inflows were $8.1 billion excluding legacy insurance partners outflows, reflecting a continuation of positive flow trends across multiple distribution channels and strategies:

Retail net inflows were $4.2 billion. Net inflows in North America were $5.1 billion with notable inflows in the broker-dealer channel, which were partially offset by outflows in EMEA.

Global institutional net inflows were $3.9 billion, with gross sales across multiple strategies.

Net revenues	$	808	$	755	7%
Expenses	626		533		(17)%
Pretax adjusted operating earnings	$	182	$	222	(18)%

Retirement & Protection Solutions pretax adjusted operating earnings were $182 million. Results in the prior year period benefited from lower surrenders and withdrawals that reduced the amortization of deferred acquisition costs. Results in the current quarter reflect higher distribution expenses associated with improved sales trends, compared to a year ago when sales were depressed from the environment. Overall claims remain within expected ranges.

Retirement sales increased 88 percent year-over-year to $1.6 billion. Retirement sales reflect the ongoing shift to lower risk products. Variable annuity sales without living benefit guarantees represented 66 percent of variable annuity sales in the quarter. This shift is improving the risk profile of our inforce block, with account values with living benefit riders down over 2 percentage points year-over-year to 62 percent. Annuity net amount at risk as a percent of account values was de minimis at 0.3 percent for living benefits and 0.1 percent for death benefits.

Sales of protection products nearly doubled from a year ago with a product mix shift that is consistent with our focused approach. Sales of higher-margin accumulation VUL products increased substantially while sales shifted away from indexed UL products as expected given pricing changes that reflect the low interest rate environment.

(1) Retirement & Protection Solutions segment includes Retirement Solutions (Variable Annuities and Payout Annuities) and Protection Solutions (Life and Disability Insurance). Fixed Annuities moved to the Corporate & Other segment in Q3 2020 as a closed block. Prior periods have been restated.

Fixed Annuities pretax adjusted operating loss was $6 million from narrowed spreads from low interest rates.

Taxes

The operating effective tax rate was 18.2 percent for the second quarter. The full year operating effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 17 percent.
