Third quarter adjusted operating earnings per diluted share excluding unlocking was $7.68, up 21 percent from the prior year, driven by the strength of the company's diversified business model.		Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
		"Ameriprise delivered another strong quarter amid a challenging operating environment, demonstrating the strength and flexibility of our diversified business. Wealth Management remains our primary growth driver with good client flows and excellent client-advisor engagement. Complementing Wealth Management are our differentiated Retirement and Protection Solutions and global Asset Management businesses that are generating strong financial results. As a firm, our excellent capital management, consistent financial results and proven expense discipline position us well."
Third quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $8.14 compared to $9.41 a year ago, primarily from market impacts on the valuation of derivatives and market risk benefits, as well as unlocking.
Assets under management and administration reached $1.2 trillion, up 12 percent from strong client net inflows and market appreciation.
Adjusted operating net revenues increased 11 percent from organic growth, higher spread revenues and equity market appreciation.
General and administrative expense remained well managed, up 4 percent. The company made growth investments in attractive areas and continued to manage expenses tightly.
Pretax adjusted operating margin excluding unlocking reached a new high of 27 percent and adjusted operating ROE excluding unlocking was 50 percent.
Free cash flow remained approximately 90 percent of earnings, reflecting continued strong performance across market environments. Balance sheet fundamentals were strong with $1.4 billion of excess capital, $1.9 billion of holding company available liquidity, effective hedging and a high-quality, diversified investment portfolio.
Balance sheet strength and free cash flow generation enabled consistent capital return to shareholders. In the quarter, the company returned $663 million of capital to shareholders, which was approximately 80 percent of adjusted operating earnings excluding unlocking.
Ameriprise is expected to close on its partnership with Comerica Bank in November.

⁽¹⁾ Return on equity excluding AOCI is calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.

⁽²⁾ Unlocking impacts reflect the company's annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions and model changes.

Current quarter GAAP results included after-tax net realized investment losses of $30 million primarily from continued investment portfolio repositioning to capture the benefit of higher interest rates and $9 million of integration costs, primarily related to the acquisition of BMO EMEA. In October, the company accomplished a major milestone in the BMO integration with the completion of the order management system platform conversion.

The company completed its annual actuarial assumption update in the quarter, which resulted in an unfavorable after-tax impact of $78 million or $0.72 per share. This was primarily related to updated persistency assumptions for variable annuities.

Asset Management adjusted operating net revenues were $826 million and pretax adjusted operating earnings were $199 million, up 4 percent in a challenging environment. Financial results reflected equity market appreciation, disciplined expense management and $7 million of favorable timing-related items, which more than offset the cumulative impact of net outflows. Net pretax adjusted operating margin was 36 percent and above the company's targeted range of 31 to 35 percent.

Adjusted operating expenses decreased 1 percent, with general and administrative expenses down $1 million. The company has begun implementing more comprehensive expense management initiatives in light of the environment and its objective to improve the margin. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, general and administrative expenses were down 3 percent.

Total assets under management increased 7 percent to $587 billion as equity market appreciation and foreign exchange translation were partially offset by net outflows. The fee rate remained stable on a sequential basis. Long term 3-, 5- and 10-year investment performance remained strong and there was notable improvement in 1-year fixed income performance.

In the quarter, net outflows were $4.2 billion reflecting the challenging market environment. Flows included $0.9 billion of outflows related to legacy insurance partners.

Retail net outflows were $3.8 billion reflecting continued weak gross sales consistent with the industry that were partially offset by a significant improvement in redemptions.
Global institutional inflows were $0.5 billion with fundings primarily in liability-driven investment and emerging market equity mandates.
