Adjusted operating EPS grew 17 percent to $8.72 excluding $0.19 of severance expense associated with the company's initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness.		Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
		"Ameriprise delivered another good quarter and a strong first half of the year. Our financial results were excellent, reflecting robust revenue growth, ongoing expense discipline and effective capital management. Client activity and flows into fee-based investment advisory accounts were up nicely as clients begin to put money back to work. Ameriprise has a powerful and differentiated financial foundation. Our business generates significant free cash flow that we consistently invest in our capabilities, solutions, and people and return to shareholders. In the quarter, we committed $693 million to share repurchases and dividends, which is consistent with our plans, while still maintaining a strong excess capital position. We're positioned well as we move through the second half of the year, and I feel very good about our focus and how we're executing. I'd highlight that Ameriprise celebrated our 130-year anniversary in June, joining a select number of firms with this legacy of success. It provided the opportunity for us to both reflect on our history of serving clients' most important financial needs and our significant opportunity ahead."
Second quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $8.02 compared to $8.21 a year ago, primarily from market impacts on the valuation of derivatives and market risk benefits.
Assets under management and administration reached $1.4 trillion, up 12 percent from strong client net inflows and market appreciation.
Adjusted operating net revenues increased 9 percent from organic growth, strong equity markets and higher spread revenues.
General and administrative expenses were flat to a year ago demonstrating our continued focus on operational efficiency and effectiveness.
Pretax adjusted operating margin was 26.8 percent and adjusted operating return on equity was 48.9 percent.
The company returned $693 million of capital to shareholders in the quarter, demonstrating its balance sheet strength and strong free cash flow generation.

Advice & Wealth Management continued to demonstrate consistent profitable organic growth with pretax adjusted operating earnings reaching a new high of $822 million and margins remaining above 31 percent driven by strong core wealth management and banking performance.

Adjusted operating net revenues increased 13 percent to $2.6 billion from growth in client assets in both wrap and brokerage accounts, increased transactional activity and 11 percent growth in bank net investment income.

Adjusted operating expenses increased 13 percent to $1.8 billion compared to a year ago, with general and administrative expense very well managed and flat to a year ago at $409 million.

Clients and advisors remained engaged and focused on positioning portfolios to meet financial planning goals across market cycles.

Total client assets grew 17 percent to $972 billion, with wrap assets up 18 percent to $535 billion.

Wrap flows improved in the quarter to $7.5 billion or a 6 percent annualized flow rate, an early indication of client preferences returning to advisory products.

Transactional activity increased 19 percent with strong growth across all product areas.

Total client cash including third-party money market funds and brokered CDs was $81.9 billion, up $12.2 billion from a year ago, as clients remain heavily concentrated in yield-oriented products.

Cash balances were $40.6 billion. Underlying cash sweep excluding normal seasonal tax payments and cash related to the recent partnership with Comerica transitioning into other products was stable and consistent with expectations.

Adjusted operating net revenue per advisor on a trailing 12-month basis was $968,000, up 11 percent from enhanced productivity, business growth and market appreciation.

Advisor headcount increased to 10,392, which reflects the addition of 52 experienced advisors in the quarter and continued strong advisor retention.

Asset Management adjusted operating net revenues grew 5 percent to $848 million and pretax adjusted operating earnings increased 35 percent to $218 million. Financial results reflected equity market appreciation and the positive impact from expense management actions, which more than offset the cumulative impact of net outflows. Net pretax adjusted operating margin was 38 percent and above our targeted range, reflecting strong market appreciation and expense discipline.

Adjusted operating expenses decreased 2 percent, with general and administrative expenses down 6 percent from a year ago, reflecting the ongoing benefits from the company's initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Total assets under management increased 4 percent to $642 billion as equity market appreciation more than offset net outflows. The underlying fee rate remained stable at 46 basis points.

Net outflows would have been $4.0 billion excluding an $8.0 billion previously announced asset transfer related to a legacy insurance partner, which was a $1.3 billion improvement from a year ago.

Retail net outflows were $3.2 billion, representing a $1.5 billion improvement from the prior year from stronger gross sales globally and lower redemptions in the US.

Global institutional inflows were $0.3 billion.

These high-quality books of business continued to generate strong free cash flow and return on capital with a differentiated risk profile.

Retirement & Protection Solutions sales increased 40 percent to $1.5 billion primarily from strong sales growth in structured variable annuities similar to the industry. Protection sales grew 21 percent to $93 million with the majority of sales in higher margin accumulation VUL products.
