How can a financial advisor help you?
What kind of advice will I get from a financial advisor?
It varies by individual. Some people are looking for big-picture advice involving all aspects of their financial life. Others may only need advice in a specific area of their finances or goals.
Ameriprise financial advisors provide a spectrum of financial advice, ranging from strategies focused on a single area to more comprehensive approaches involving complex strategies. After a conversation with an Ameriprise financial advisor, you’ll receive personalized advice based on factors such as your unique goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance, to name a few.

What’s the benefit of an ongoing relationship with a financial advisor?
In a changing world, a lasting financial relationship can help you prepare for and navigate unforeseen events as they arise. A financial advisor not only understands the analytical side of pursuing financial goals but also considers how unplanned events like job loss, market uncertainty, disability or health issues can impact your financial goals and overall strategy.

Your financial advisor aligns your investment recommendations with your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, factoring in market movement up and down over time. As market conditions change, your financial advisor can help you review your goals and portfolio and adjust if and as needed, whether to rebalance your portfolio, revisit your risk tolerance, or take advantage of potential investment or tax opportunities. By staying focused on your progress toward financial goals, you can avoid emotional decision-making during turbulent times. And your financial advisor will keep you informed on events that may impact your long-term investment strategy.
