MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ameriprise Financial Inc. (NYSE: AMP), today announced that 57 of its financial advisors were named to Forbes list of the “Top Women Wealth Advisors” in the country.

The rankings are based on data provided by thousands of the nation’s most productive women advisors.

“On behalf of Ameriprise, we congratulate these very talented advisors on their well-deserved recognition,” said Deirdre McGraw, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Communications and Community Relations at Ameriprise. “The advisors on this list run successful practices that put clients at the center of everything they do. They’re an inspiration to their colleagues, communities and the next generation of advisors.”

As part of its strategy to recruit, retain, develop and engage a diverse workforce, the company sponsors the Ameriprise Women’s Empowerment (WE) Network that offers mentorship opportunities, training, education and networking events.

This ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com.
