Our Ratings and Rankings
Our financial strength is reflected in the strong ratings we continue to receive from independent rating agencies. And unlike many insurance companies that saw their financial strength ratings decline in the 2008-2009 financial crisis, RiverSource Life and RiverSource Life of New York were never downgraded.
High ratings by independent agencies
Ratings shown are the same for both RiverSource Life and RiverSource Life of New York. They each receive separate ratings from the independent rating agencies. Neither RiverSource Life Insurance Company nor RiverSource Life Insurance Co. of New York can guarantee future financial results.
