Forbes rankings are developed by SHOOK Research and are created using an algorithm that includes both qualitative (in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings; client impact; industry experience; review of best practices and compliance records; and firm nominations) and quantitative (assets under management and revenue generated for their firms) data. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Certain awards include a demographic component to qualify. These rankings for each applicable year are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC, are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience and are based on data from the previous two calendar years. Forbes magazine and SHOOK Research do not receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking or its use. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com.

Ameriprise created the Client Experience Survey to give clients an opportunity to rate their satisfaction with their assigned advisor team using a scale of 1 to 5. Each client has an opportunity to access the Ameriprise Secure Client Site and provide a rating. The client satisfaction score is an average of client responses for that team within a rolling 24-month period and is updated daily. There is no minimum number of responses required for a team to receive a rating, and teams may have received unfavorable ratings. Client experiences may vary, and working with any Ameriprise team is not a guarantee of future financial results. Investors should not consider the Client Experience Survey score a substitute for their own research and evaluation of a team’s qualifications.
