Fair values of Assets and Liabilities | GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability is not exchanged subject to a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Valuation Hierarchy The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2 Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities of Ameriprise Financial measured at fair value on a recurring basis: June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets Cash equivalents $ 2,359 $ 3,642 $ — $ 6,001 Available-for-Sale securities: Corporate debt securities — 13,285 391 13,676 Residential mortgage backed securities — 9,682 — 9,682 Commercial mortgage backed securities — 6,178 — 6,178 Asset backed securities — 3,642 6 3,648 State and municipal obligations — 1,319 — 1,319 U.S. government and agency obligations 1,326 — — 1,326 Foreign government bonds and obligations — 223 — 223 Other securities — 94 — 94 Total Available-for-Sale securities 1,326 34,423 397 36,146 Investments at net asset value (“NAV”) 8 (1) Trading and other securities 20 31 — 51 Separate account assets at NAV 96,854 (1) Investments and cash equivalents segregated for regulatory purposes 765 — — 765 Other assets: Interest rate derivative contracts 2 1,415 — 1,417 Equity derivative contracts 448 4,230 — 4,678 Credit derivative contracts — 1 — 1 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 2 22 — 24 Total other assets 452 5,668 — 6,120 Total assets at fair value $ 4,922 $ 43,764 $ 397 $ 145,945 Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims: Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ — $ 4 $ 54 $ 58 IUL embedded derivatives — — 928 928 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — — 1,373 1,373 (2) Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — — 214 214 Total policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims — 4 2,569 2,573 (3) Customer deposits — 6 — 6 Other liabilities: Interest rate derivative contracts — 558 — 558 Equity derivative contracts 160 3,790 — 3,950 Credit derivative contracts — 7 — 7 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 1 5 — 6 Other 8 3 44 55 Total other liabilities 169 4,363 44 4,576 Total liabilities at fair value $ 169 $ 4,373 $ 2,613 $ 7,155 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets Cash equivalents $ 2,935 $ 2,506 $ — $ 5,441 Available-for-Sale securities: Corporate debt securities — 12,902 772 13,674 Residential mortgage backed securities — 10,020 9 10,029 Commercial mortgage backed securities — 6,088 — 6,088 Asset backed securities — 3,297 32 3,329 State and municipal obligations — 1,384 — 1,384 U.S. government and agency obligations 1,456 — — 1,456 Foreign government bonds and obligations — 262 — 262 Other securities — 61 — 61 Total Available-for-Sale securities 1,456 34,014 813 36,283 Investments at NAV 8 (1) Trading and other securities 61 27 — 88 Separate account assets at NAV 92,611 (1) Investments and cash equivalents segregated for regulatory purposes 600 — — 600 Other assets: Interest rate derivative contracts 1 1,754 — 1,755 Equity derivative contracts 408 3,682 — 4,090 Credit derivative contracts — 2 — 2 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 1 22 — 23 Total other assets 410 5,460 — 5,870 Total assets at fair value $ 5,462 $ 42,007 $ 813 $ 140,901 Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims: Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ — $ 3 $ 49 $ 52 IUL embedded derivatives — — 935 935 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — — 2,316 2,316 (4) Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — — 70 70 Total policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims — 3 3,370 3,373 (5) Customer deposits — 8 — 8 Other liabilities: Interest rate derivative contracts — 734 — 734 Equity derivative contracts 183 3,388 — 3,571 Credit derivative contracts — 1 — 1 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 2 4 — 6 Other 2 3 43 48 Total other liabilities 187 4,130 43 4,360 Total liabilities at fair value $ 187 $ 4,141 $ 3,413 $ 7,741 (1) Amounts are comprised of certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The increase (decrease) to pretax income of the Company’s adjustment for nonperformance risk on the fair value of its embedded derivatives was $27 million and $(1.2) billion, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase (decrease) to pretax income of the Company’s adjustment for nonperformance risk on the fair value of its embedded derivatives was $(139) million and $569 million, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Securities transferred from Level 3 primarily represent securities with fair values that are obtained from a third-party pricing service with observable inputs or fair values that were included in an observable transaction with a market participant. The following tables provide a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements developed by the Company or reasonably available to the Company of Level 3 assets and liabilities: June 30, 2021 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Weighted Average (in millions) Corporate debt securities (private placements) $ 391 Discounted cash flow Yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries (1) 0.8 % – 2.3% 1.1% Asset backed securities $ 1 Discounted cash flow Annual short-term default rate (2) 5.4% 5.4% Annual long-term default rate (2) 4.00 % 4.00 % Discount rate 13.00 % 13.00 % Constant prepayment rate 10.00 % 10.00 % Loss recovery 63.60 % 63.60 % IUL embedded derivatives $ 928 Discounted cash flow Nonperformance risk (3) 60 bps 60 bps Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ 54 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.0 % – 66.8% 1.9% Nonperformance risk (3) 60 bps 60 bps GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives $ 1,373 Discounted cash flow Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (5) (6) 0.0 % – 48.0% 10.6% Surrender rate (4) 0.1 % – 73.5% 3.8% Market volatility (7) (8) 4.0 % – 16.6% 10.3% Nonperformance risk (3) 60 bps 60 bps Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives $ 214 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.8 % – 40.0% 0.9% Nonperformance risk (3) 60 bps 60 bps Contingent consideration liabilities $ 44 Discounted cash flow Discount rate (9) 0.0 % – 9.0% 3.2% December 31, 2020 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Weighted Average (in millions) Corporate debt securities (private placements) $ 772 Discounted cash flow Yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries (1) 1.0 % – 3.3% 1.5% Asset backed securities $ 3 Discounted cash flow Annual short-term default rate (2) 2.9% – 3.0% 2.9% Annual long-term default rate (2) 3.5% – 4.5% 3.8% Discount rate 13.0% 13.0% Constant prepayment rate 10.0% 10.0% Loss recovery 63.6% 63.6% IUL embedded derivatives $ 935 Discounted cash flow Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ 49 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.0 % – 50.0% 1.2% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives $ 2,316 Discounted cash flow Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (5) (6) 0.0 % – 48.0% 10.6% Surrender rate (4) 0.1 % – 73.5% 3.8% Market volatility (7) (8) 4.3 % – 17.1% 11.0% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives $ 70 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.8 % – 40.0% 0.9% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Contingent consideration liabilities $ 43 Discounted cash flow Discount rate (9) 0.0% – 9.0% 3.1% (1) The weighted average for the spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities. (2) The weighted average annual default rates of asset backed securities is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities. (3) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives. (4) The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula. (5) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. (6) The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals. (7) Market volatility is implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds. (8) The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit. (9) The weighted average discount rate represents the average discount rate across all contingent consideration liabilities, weighted based on the size of the contingent consideration liability. Level 3 measurements not included in the table above are obtained from non-binding broker quotes where unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value calculation are not reasonably available to the Company. Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements Significant increases (decreases) in the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 corporate debt securities in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the annual default rate and discount rate used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 asset backed securities in isolation, generally, would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement and significant increases (decreases) in loss recovery in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the constant prepayment rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk used in the fair value measurement of the IUL embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk and surrender rate used in the fair value measurements of the fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives and structured variable annuity embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) liability value. Significant increases (decreases) in utilization and volatility used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) liability value. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk and surrender rate used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) liability value. Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals and surrender rates vary with the type of rider, the duration of the policy, the age of the contractholder, the distribution channel and whether the value of the guaranteed benefit exceeds the contract accumulation value. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Determination of Fair Value The Company uses valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The Company’s market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company’s income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future projected cash flows to a single discounted present value amount. When applying either approach, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy. Assets Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include time deposits and other highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less. Actively traded money market funds are measured at their NAV and classified as Level 1. U.S. Treasuries are also classified as Level 1. The Company’s remaining cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected realization. Investments (Available-for-Sale Securities, Equity Securities and Trading Securities) When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques. Level 1 securities primarily include U.S. Treasuries. Level 2 securities primarily include corporate bonds, residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, state and municipal obligations and foreign government securities. The fair value of these Level 2 securities is based on a market approach with prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Observable inputs used to value these securities can include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads and non-binding broker quotes. The fair value of securities included in an observable transaction with a market participant are also considered Level 2 when the market is not active. Level 3 securities primarily include certain corporate bonds, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities with fair value typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The underlying inputs used for some of the non-binding broker quotes are not readily available to the Company. The Company’s privately placed corporate bonds are typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The fair value of certain asset backed securities is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Inputs used to determine the expected cash flows include assumptions about discount rates and default, prepayment and recovery rates of the underlying assets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs to this fair value measurement, the fair value of the investment in certain asset backed securities is classified as Level 3. In consideration of the above, management is responsible for the fair values recorded on the financial statements. Prices received from third-party pricing services are subjected to exception reporting that identifies investments with significant daily price movements as well as no movements. The Company reviews the exception reporting and resolves the exceptions through reaffirmation of the price or recording an appropriate fair value estimate. The Company also performs subsequent transaction testing. The Company performs annual due diligence of third-party pricing services. The Company’s due diligence procedures include assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset-class specific valuation methodologies, and understanding of sources of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. The Company also considers the results of its exception reporting controls and any resulting price challenges that arise. Separate Account Assets The fair value of assets held by separate accounts is determined by the NAV of the funds in which those separate accounts are invested. The NAV is used as a practical expedient for fair value and represents the exit price for the separate account. Separate account assets are excluded from classification in the fair value hierarchy. Investments and Cash Equivalents Segregated for Regulatory Purposes Investments and cash equivalents segregated for regulatory purposes includes U.S. Treasuries that are classified as Level 1. Other Assets Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps, foreign currency forwards and the majority of options. The counterparties’ nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative assets was immaterial as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. See Note 12 and Note 13 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral. Liabilities Policyholder Account Balances, Future Policy Benefits and Claims There is no active market for the transfer of the Company’s embedded derivatives attributable to the provisions of certain variable annuity riders, fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products. The Company values the embedded derivatives attributable to the provisions of certain variable annuity riders using internal valuation models. These models calculate fair value as the present value of future expected benefit payments less the present value of future expected rider fees attributable to the embedded derivative feature. The projected cash flows used by these models include observable capital market assumptions and incorporate significant unobservable inputs related to implied volatility as well as contractholder behavior assumptions that include margins for risk, all of which the Company believes a market participant would expect. The fair value also reflects a current estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk specific to these embedded derivatives. Given the significant unobservable inputs to this valuation, these measurements are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the provisions of its equity index annuity product. The projected cash flows generated by this model are based on significant observable inputs related to interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and, therefore, are classified as Level 2. The Company uses discounted cash flow models including Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the provisions of its fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products. The structured variable annuity product is a limited flexible purchase payment annuity that offers 45 different indexed account options providing equity market exposure and a fixed account. Each indexed account includes a protection option (a buffer or a floor). If the index has a negative return, contractholder losses will be reduced by buffer or limited to a floor. The portion allocated to an indexed account is accounted for as an embedded derivative. The fair value of fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL embedded derivatives includes significant observable interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and the significant unobservable estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk. Given the significance of the nonperformance risk assumption to the fair value, the fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims. Customer Deposits The Company uses various Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative liability associated with the provisions of its stock market certificates (“SMC”). The inputs to these calculations are primarily market observable and include interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels. As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 2. Other Liabilities Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active OTC markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps, foreign currency forwards and the majority of options. The Company’s nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative liabilities was immaterial as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. See Note 12 and Note 13 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral. Securities sold but not yet purchased represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified securities that it does not yet own, creating a liability to purchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from nationally-recognized pricing services, or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of cash flows. Level 1 securities sold but not yet purchased primarily include U.S Treasuries traded in active markets. Level 2 securities sold but not yet purchased primarily include corporate bonds. Contingent consideration liabilities consist of earn-outs and/or deferred payments related to the Company’s acquisitions. Contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow model using an unobservable input (discount rate). Given the use of a significant unobservable input, the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company assesses its investment in affordable housing partnerships for impairment. The investments that are determined to be impaired are written down to their fair value. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value of these investments. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model are estimates of future net operating losses and tax credits available to the Company and discount rates based on market condition and the financial strength of the syndicator (general partner). The balance of affordable housing partnerships measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis was $100 million and $101 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021, the Company classified certain commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans as loans held for sale related to the reinsurance transaction. A portion of the commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans required a valuation allowance to adjust their carrying amounts to the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
