Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks

Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market.

News Release
Ameriprise Financial Reports
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Results
$1.69 per share loss in the quarter driven by broad dislocation in financial markets
$0.80 core operating earnings per share in the quarter
excludes extraordinary market impacts
Business remains sound
Company maintains strong balance sheet fundamentals
MINNEAPOLIS – January 28, 2009 – The broad dislocation in financial markets in the fourth
quarter of 2008 impacted Ameriprise Financial (NYSE:AMP) results. In the fourth quarter of 2008:
The S&P 500 Index declined 23 percent,
Credit spreads widened, as reflected in the 114 basis point increase in the Barclays U.S.
Corporate Investment Grade Index and the 642 basis point increase in the Barclays High
Yield Index,
Short-term interest rates declined dramatically as the Fed Funds rate was reduced to 0-25
basis points, reflecting the severity of the economic environment,
Volatility reached historic levels, and
Investors increased cash positions, further eroding liquidity in the markets.
Management took the following actions in response to the accelerated market deterioration in the
fourth quarter and expectations of continued market dislocation in 2009:
Increased the discount rate, expected loss and severity rates used to value residential
mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and increased the expected default rates for high yield
corporate credits, which resulted in the recognition of $420 million in pretax net realized
investment losses, primarily from other than temporary impairments.
Lowered future variable annuity and variable universal life profit expectations based on
continued depreciation in contract values and historical equity market return patterns, which
resulted in a $252 million pretax, non-cash charge in deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and
deferred sales inducement costs (DSIC).
Planned further reductions in 2009 expenses, which resulted in $79 million in pretax
integration and restructuring charges.
In addition, the company recorded $63 million in expenses for variable annuity death and income
benefits, as the decline in equity markets lowered underlying client account values below the
guarantee level. The company also had $25 million in pretax expenses related to hedged variable
annuity living benefits.
Management believes it has taken prudent actions in light of the current economic environment
and recent trends.
2. As a result of market conditions and management actions, the company reported a $369 million
net loss, or ($1.69) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. This compares to $255 million of net
income, or $1.08 per share, in the prior-year period. Excluding these impacts, the company
reported $176 million in core operating earnings, or $0.80 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
This compares to $262 million in core operating earnings, or $1.11 per share, in the fourth quarter
of 2007. The decline in core operating earnings was primarily due to the impact of market
depreciation on fee revenues and a shift in client behavior away from traditional activity, partially
offset by expense reductions.
The company maintains strong balance sheet fundamentals, including a high-quality, diversified
asset portfolio, excess capital and $6.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents. During 2008, the
company deployed $0.8 billion in excess capital for acquisitions and $0.6 billion in share
repurchases, ending the year with approximately $0.7 billion in excess capital, even after charges
related to the extraordinary market dislocation. In addition, the company’s primary insurance
subsidiary, RiverSource Life Insurance Company, ended 2008 with an estimated risk-based capital
ratio in excess of 450 percent.
For the year, the company reported a net loss of $38 million, compared to net income of $814
million in 2007. Net loss per share was $0.17, down from net income per share of $3.39 in the prior
year period. Excluding extraordinary market impacts and separation costs in 2007, core operating
earnings for 2008 were $886 million, down 6 percent from the prior year. Core earnings per share
were $3.94, up 1 percent from $3.91 per share in 2007.
“The deteriorating market and economic conditions in the fourth quarter had a significant impact on
our results,quot; said Jim Cracchiolo, chairman and chief executive officer. quot;In response, we took
prudent action to ensure the company is well positioned for the current environment. We continue
to maintain strong liquidity and excess capital, even after making important all-cash acquisitions
and returning capital to shareholders.
“Despite the difficult environment, our business is sound and we remain focused on executing our
strategy. Our strong foundation puts us in a good position to manage the current environment and
achieve our growth prospects as conditions improve.”

3. Fourth Quarter 2008 Summary
Management believes the exclusion of after-tax impacts due to the extraordinary dislocation in
financial markets in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, and exclusion of after-tax separation
costs and after-tax realized investment gains in 2007 best reflect the underlying performance of the
business. For the non-GAAP presentation of after-tax amounts throughout this news release, the
tax effect is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 35 percent.

For this non-GAAP presentation, after-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 35%.
(2)
Diluted shares used in this calculation represent basic shares due to the net loss. Using actual diluted shares would result in anti-
dilution.
The following after-tax items were excluded from core operating earnings in 2008:
$273 million in net realized investment losses consisting of:
o $187 million in RMBS from an increase in the average discount rate of
approximately 600 basis points in the methodology used to value impaired RMBS,
as well as an increase in associated default and severity assumptions used to
project collateral losses.
o $78 million in corporate credit other than temporary impairments and increased
reserves, primarily for bank loans.
o $8 million in other investments.
$51 million in previously announced integration and restructuring charges.
o The company expects the $39 million after-tax restructuring charge to generate over
$80 million pretax in expense savings in 2009, with an annual run-rate savings of
over $130 million pretax.

4. The remaining $12 million after-tax amount represents the integration costs
o
associated with the acquisitions. This amount is lower than originally stated primarily
due to the favorable outcome of lease termination negotiations.
$164 million in increased amortization of DAC and DSIC from lower period-ending account
values and the use of historical equity market return assumptions for future periods,
consisting of:
o $52 million from lower period-end account values.
o $112 million from unlocking future return assumptions based on historical equity
market return patterns.
$57 million from increased variable annuity benefits, consisting of:
o $41 million primarily from variable annuity death benefit expenses.
o $16 million of expenses from:
$27 million after-tax benefit from variable annuity hedging related to the
impact of credit spreads widening on the SFAS 157 valuation liability,
partially offset by basis risk and underlying hedge ineffectiveness.
$43 million after-tax expense from increased amortization of DAC and DSIC
from lowering future credit spread assumptions.
Core operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2008 were impacted by lower asset-based fees
driven by equity market declines, lower net investment income as a result of historically low interest
rates and client behavioral changes. The company estimates these impacts as follows:
$95 million after-tax in reduced fees as the average value of the S&P 500 Index in the
quarter was down 39 percent from the average in the prior-year quarter.
$40 million after-tax in reduced net investment income due to historically low short-term
interest rates and the company’s decision to maintain a large liquidity pool.
In addition, core operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008 included a $36 million pretax gain,
or $23 million after-tax, from the sale of certain operating assets in asset management as part of
ongoing re-engineering efforts, and a $19 million pretax gain, or $12 million after-tax, from
repurchasing certain junior subordinated notes.
Excluded from 2007 core operating earnings were $12 million in after-tax realized net investment
gains and $19 million after-tax in separation costs.
Fourth quarter 2007 core operating earnings included $44 million after-tax in revenues from
unwinding a variable interest entity and $16 million after-tax in additional proceeds from the sale of
the company’s defined contribution recordkeeping business.
The company has initiated an interim goodwill impairment analysis that it expects to complete in
February 2009. If the company determines any portion of goodwill is impaired, it could recognize a
material non-cash charge that would negatively impact GAAP earnings and earnings per share in
the fourth quarter of 2008. This non-cash charge would not impact non-GAAP financial information
presented in this news release, including excess capital and RiverSource Life Insurance
Company's estimated risk based capital ratio.

5. Liquidity and Balance Sheet
Management’s long-standing emphasis on risk-return decision making and prudent risk
management has positioned the company well.
As of December 31, 2008, the company had strong balance sheet fundamentals:
Substantial liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $6.2 billion, an increase from $4.0 billion at
September 30, 2008, with $0.7 billion at the holding company level.
The company has no debt maturities until November 15, 2010, maintains backup
lines of credit at parent, subsidiary and mutual fund levels, and has no reliance on
commercial paper, bank lines or other short-term institutional funding for liquidity.
Conservative capital management
The company maintained approximately $0.7 billion in excess capital.
RiverSource Life Insurance Company’s estimated risk-based capital ratio was in excess of
450 percent.
The company will continue to utilize enterprise risk management capabilities and product
hedging to anticipate and mitigate risk. The variable annuity hedging program was 95
percent effective in 2008, one of the most volatile periods on record.
High quality investment portfolio
The company’s $22.9 billion available-for-sale portfolio is both well-diversified and high-
quality.
The $420 million in net realized losses in the quarter, primarily from other than temporary
impairments represented 1.2 percent of the investment portfolio and consisted of:
$287 million in realized losses from RMBS, primarily related to Alt-A mortgages.
This loss was driven by increased historical and forecast defaults, a material
increase in severity estimates above historical levels, and an approximately 600
basis point increase in the discount rate used to value the cash flows of these
securities.
$120 million in realized losses from corporate credits, including reserve increases
primarily for bank loans. Further impacted by deterioration in the U.S. economy,
these credits were mainly in the financial services and gaming sectors.
$13 million in other securities.
The company intends to hold the securities until maturity. As such, management believes it
will likely recover a significant percentage of these impairments.
Net unrealized losses were approximately $1.8 billion, or $1.2 billion after-tax, which
represents 17 percent of shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive
income.
Approximately 5 percent of the portfolio is rated below investment grade.
The company’s $2.9 billion commercial mortgage loan portfolio had an average loan-to-
value ratio of 53 percent and a debt service coverage ratio of over 1.8 times, and continued
to perform well.
Conservative capital ratios
The debt-to-capital ratio was 24.7 percent.
The debt-to-capital ratio excluding non-recourse debt and with 75 percent equity
credit for hybrid securities was 19.8 percent.
Additional detail on the company’s investment portfolio has been posted to its investor relations
website at ir.ameriprise.com.

6. Fourth Quarter 2008 Highlights
The company’s client base remained stable, with continued strong retention of 94 percent.
Branded financial planning net cash sales increased 6 percent to $56 million in the quarter.
Total financial advisors increased 6 percent to 12,486, reflecting the completion of the H&R
Block Financial Advisors and Brecek & Young acquisitions, as well as improved employee
advisor retention.
Owned, managed and administered assets decreased 22 percent year-over-year to $372 billion
as of December 31, 2008, reflecting the 38 percent decline in the S&P 500 Index over the
same time period, partially offset by the addition of $37 billion in assets from the completion of
the company’s acquisitions during the quarter. Net inflows in fixed annuities, variable annuities
and certificates, were more than offset by net outflows in asset management and wrap
products. The net inflows in fixed annuities in the fourth quarter of 2008 represented the first
quarter of fixed annuity net inflows since the third quarter of 2003.
Life insurance in-force grew to $192 billion, up 3 percent from the prior-year period.
Ameriprise Auto & Home premiums increased 7 percent from the prior-year quarter with a
6 percent increase in policy counts.
The company announced restructuring and integration charges, which are expected to reduce
general and administrative expenses by over $80 million in 2009 with annual run-rate savings
of over $130 million.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Consolidated Results
The company reported a net loss of $369 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding $545
million of after-tax impacts from extraordinary market dislocation and management actions, core
operating earnings declined 33 percent to $176 million, primarily from market-related impacts on
fee revenue and client behavior.
Total net revenues declined 40 percent, or $910 million, to $1.4 billion, primarily due to declines in
net investment income driven by market deterioration in the quarter. Excluding these impacts, core
net revenues were $1.8 billion, down 21 percent from the prior-year period, primarily due to equity
market depreciation, lower client activity and lower yield on the company’s investment portfolio.
Management and financial advice fees declined 35 percent, or $323 million, to $607 million,
primarily due to equity market depreciation of 38 percent year over year.
7
8. Distribution fees declined 20 percent, or $81 million, to $334 million, primarily driven by lower client
activity, as well as lower asset levels. Clients’ preference for cash and deposit products in the
quarter resulted in slowing sales and flows for other products, which generate distribution fees.
The net investment loss of $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 compares to $475 million in net
investment income in the prior-year period. The decline was driven by $420 million in net realized
investment losses, primarily from other than temporary impairments. Excluding investment losses
and gains, net investment income declined 14 percent to $392 million, compared to the prior-year
quarter, primarily due to the lower interest rate environment on fixed accounts and the company’s
decision to increase its liquidity pool. The fourth quarter of 2007 included $18 million of net
investment gains.
Premiums increased 4 percent, or $11 million, to $282 million, primarily due to growth in Auto &
Home premiums.
Other revenues declined 11 percent, or $26 million, to $202 million, which included $36 million in
proceeds from the sale of certain operating assets in the fourth quarter of 2008. The prior-year
period included $68 million in revenues from unwinding a variable interest entity and $25 million in
additional proceeds from the sale of the company’s defined contribution recordkeeping business.
Excluding these items, the increase was primarily due to recognizing a gain on the retirement of
certain junior subordinated notes.
Banking and deposit interest expense decreased 20 percent, or $12 million, to $47 million,
primarily due to lower crediting rates on certificates, partially offset by higher certificate balances.
Expenses
Consolidated expenses increased 4 percent, or $69 million, to $2.0 billion. Core expenses declined
17 percent, or $322 million, reflecting lower business volumes and continued strong expense
controls. Core expenses also included $61 million in operating expenses from acquisitions that
closed in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Distribution expenses declined 21 percent, or $110 million, to $417 million, primarily due to
decreases in advisor compensation reflecting lower year-over-year cash sales and compensation
based on asset levels, which were impacted by market declines.
Interest credited to fixed accounts remained relatively flat at $203 million, reflecting lower average
balances offset by slightly higher crediting rates.
Benefits, claims, losses and settlement expenses increased 20 percent, or $55 million, to $331
million. Core benefits, claims, losses and settlement expenses increased 11 percent to $306
million, primarily due to reserve increases in 2008 for weather-related losses in Auto and Home as
well as decreases in fourth quarter 2007 related to errors and omissions reserve release and the
impact of the application of SOP 03-1 on variable annuity living benefit reserves. The $25 million in
market driven impacts excluded from core include increases in DSIC amortization and variable
annuity guaranteed minimum death and income benefits, partially offset by an $82 million expense
decrease from variable annuity living benefits, net of hedging. The mark-to-market of the variable
annuity guaranteed living benefit riders is comprised of a $1.6 billion increase in hedge assets
offset by a $1.5 billion increase in reserves.
Amortization of DAC more than doubled to $395 million from $164 million. When excluding $315
million of amortization expense related to market conditions and assumptions, core amortization of
8
9. DAC declined 51 percent to $80 million. This decline is primarily due to lower variable annuity fee
revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008 and unfavorable impacts from market conditions, as well as
the application of SOP 03-1 to variable annuity living benefit riders in the prior-year quarter.
General and administrative expense declined 12 percent, or $81 million, to $617 million. Excluding
$79 million in restructuring and integration charges, general and administrative expense declined
23 percent, or $160 million, to $538 million. The decline reflected cost controls and lower
compensation-related expenses primarily from lower Threadneedle hedge fund performance fees,
partially offset by higher expenses from recent acquisitions.
Taxes
The effective tax rate on net income (loss) was 42.4 percent for the quarter, up from 24.4 percent
in the prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily impacted by generating a
pretax loss in the current quarter compared to pretax income in the prior-year period.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Segment Financial Highlights
Segment results reflect the impact of the extraordinary dislocation in financial markets in the fourth
quarter of 2008 and management’s efforts to control expenses while investing for long-term
growth. Segment results do not include income taxes.
Advice & Wealth Management reported a pretax loss of $187 million for the quarter, primarily
driven by $194 million in net realized losses in the certificates and banking investment portfolios.
Excluding impacts from the accelerated market dislocation in the quarter, pretax segment core
operating earnings were $19 million, a 44 percent decline from $34 million in the prior-year period,
9
10. primarily due to market-driven asset declines and reduced client activity. Expenses remained well
controlled, reflecting lower compensation related expenses and management’s initiatives to reduce
expenses. The company completed its acquisitions of H&R Block Financial Advisors and Brecek &
Young during the quarter, which is reflected in the 15 percent year-over-year increase in employee
advisors and 19 percent year-over-year increase in advisors at Securities America.
Asset Management reported pretax income of $2 million for the quarter compared to pretax
income of $108 million in the prior-year period. The decline was driven by market depreciation on
assets, negative foreign currency translation and net outflows. RiverSource net outflows in the
quarter were primarily due to reduced mutual fund sales in the Ameriprise channel as client activity
slowed. RiverSource redemption rates continued to remain stable. Threadneedle experienced
slowing sales as well as planned redemptions of lower-margin institutional assets, primarily from
Zurich, partially offset by net inflows in alternative investments. Threadneedle investment
performance remained strong. Segment expenses remained well controlled. The company
completed its acquisition of J. & W. Seligman & Co. during the fourth quarter, which contributed
$13 billion to managed assets and enhanced its technology, growth, value and alternative
investment capabilities and expanded distribution. In addition, fourth quarter 2008 segment results
included a gain from the sale of certain operating assets as part of the company’s reengineering
efforts.
Annuities reported a pretax loss of $372 million for the quarter, driven by $169 million in net
realized losses, primarily from other than temporary impairments, $203 million in increased
amortization of DAC and a net $88 million increase in expenses for variable annuity guarantees.
Excluding these market-driven losses, segment core operating earnings were $88 million, a 22
percent decline from $113 million in core operating earnings in the prior-year period due to lower
spreads on fixed balances and lower margins on the variable balances due to market declines.
Clients’ decreased risk tolerances and preference to hold cash reduced variable annuity sales and
drove net inflows in fixed annuities.
Protection reported pretax income of $33 million compared to $154 million in the prior-year period.
Excluding net realized losses of $44 million and $49 million in increased amortization of DAC,
segment core operating earnings were $126 million, a 17 percent decline from $151 million in core
operating earnings in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by $19 million of
revenue in 2007 from unwinding a variable interest entity and reserve increases in 2008 for
weather-related losses in Auto and Home.
Corporate & Other reported a pretax loss of $117 million including $62 million in restructuring and
other charges and $14 million in net realized losses. Excluding these actions, segment core
operating loss was $41 million, a 29 percent improvement from a $58 million core operating loss in
the prior-year period, primarily due to a gain from repurchasing certain of the company’s junior
subordinated notes as well as expense controls.

amounts denoted as 2008 market dislocation impacts include amounts that were not excluded from
core earnings in prior quarters.
