Expenses, however, rose in both periods, primarily driven by the aforementioned unlocking impacts and increased benefits, claims, losses, and settlement expenses.

Aug 1, 2016Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (AMP) reported a decrease in net income attributable to Ameriprise Financial for the second quarter of 2016, falling to $335 million ($1.97 per diluted share) from $415 million ($2.23 per diluted share) in the same period last year. This decline was primarily driven by lower net revenues across key segments like Management and Financial Advice Fees and Distribution Fees, impacted by a decrease in average Assets Under Management (AUM) and lower client activity. The company also saw a reduction in Net Investment Income due to lower invested assets and a less favorable market impact on investment hedges. Expenses also increased in certain areas, notably Benefits, Claims, Losses, and Settlement Expenses, partly due to higher auto and home insurance losses and a prior year favorable LTC reserve release. Despite the quarterly decrease, the company's financial position remains robust, with total assets of $142.7 billion as of June 30, 2016, and a solid capital base. The adoption of new accounting standards for consolidation (ASU 2015-02) led to the deconsolidation of several collateralized loan obligations and property funds, impacting reported figures but not the underlying business results. Management remains focused on strategic objectives, including growing AUM and enhancing advisor productivity, with a significant share repurchase authorization remaining. Investors should monitor the impact of evolving market conditions and regulatory changes, particularly the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule, on the company's future performance.
