New additions to the Active Portfolios® investments
family offer more options to give individuals access to investment
processes often reserved for institutional investors
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) has introduced Active
Opportunity ETF PortfoliosSM investments and
Active Diversified Yield Portfolios, the latest in the Active
Portfolios investments family. Active Portfolios investments
are a series of easy-to-use, professionally managed portfolios designed
for long-term investors seeking increased diversification and risk
management.
Active Opportunity ETF Portfolios investments are a series of 12
portfolios designed to provide strong returns in all market
environments. Four portfolio strategists; Ameriprise Financial, Dreyfus,
Innealta Capital, and F-Squared Investments use a tactical asset
allocation investment methodology to make asset allocation and
investment recommendations for the portfolios. TAA strategists work to
understand the implications of demographic, social, political and
economic changes across the globe on investment returns in addition to
investment statistics.
Active Diversified Yield Portfolios are a series of four portfolios
designed to meet specific yield targets, while covering client fees and
addressing long-term inflation. Wilshire Associates, the portfolio
strategist, makes asset allocation and investment selection
recommendations for the portfolios.
“The Active Portfolios investments platform has evolved into a
family of close to 50 portfolios giving individual investors a wide
range of diverse, sophisticated, yet simple-to-use product choices,"
said Sarah McKenzie, Executive Vice President of Wealth Management
Products and Solutions at Ameriprise Financial. “These advice-embedded
products utilize professional asset managers working constantly to
control the investments, freeing advisors to spend more time on the
clients overall financial picture.”
In addition to the new portfolios, Active Accumulation Portfolios®
and Active Income Portfolios® investments, the first
two series in the Active Portfolios investments family, have been
enhanced and will be managed by the asset allocation team at Columbia
Management. This team will now have access to more than 40 Columbia and
