Performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown.
We show actual performance from the date the subaccounts began investing in the funds. We also show performance from the commencement date of the funds as if the annuity existed at that time, which it did not.
Subaccount inception date is the date on which a price level (based on various benefits and fees) is first offered in any product. If that same price level is later added to another product, we continue to use the original inception date. In one product, there can be multiple price levels invested in the same underlying fund.
A fund underlying your contract in which a subaccount invests may have a name, portfolio manager, objective, strategies and characteristics that are the same or substantially similar to those of a publicly-traded retail mutual fund. Despite these similarities, an underlying fund is not the same as any publicly-traded retail mutual fund. Each underlying fund will have its own unique portfolio holdings, fees, operating expenses and operating results. The results of each underlying fund may differ significantly from any publicly-traded retail mutual fund.
Variable annuities are insurance products that are complex, long-term investment vehicles that are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal invested.
You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options carefully before investing. For a free copy of the annuity's prospectus and underlying investment's prospectus, which contains this and other information about variable annuities, call 1 (800) 504-0469. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
RiverSource Life Insurance Co. of New York offers several different annuities which your investment professional may be authorized to offer you. Each annuity has different features and benefits that may be appropriate for you based on your financial situation and needs, your risk tolerance, your age and how you intend to use the annuity. The different features and benefits may include the investment options, fund managers, interest rate amounts, guarantees, bonus crediting, surrender charge schedules, optional riders and access to annuity account values. The fees and charges may also be different among the annuity contracts we offer. Keep in mind that all guarantees are based on the continued claims paying ability of the issuing company and on variable annuities do not apply to the performance of the variable subaccounts, which will vary with market conditions.
Cash Management
An investment in the Cash Management fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The 7-day yields shown reflect more closely the earnings of the fund than the total return numbers. Short-term yields may be higher or lower than the figures shown. Contact your advisor or call 1(800) 862-7919 for the most current yield.
U.S. Equities
Mid Cap: Stocks of medium sized companies involve greater risks and volatility than stocks in larger, more established companies. Small-Cap: Stocks of small-sized companies are more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small company securities involve special risks such as relatively small revenues, limited product lines, and small market shares.
International Stock
International investment involves increased risk and volatility due to potential political and economic instability, currency fluctuations, and differences in financial reporting and accounting standards and oversight. Risks are particularly significant in emerging markets.
Bonds
There are risks associated with an investment in a bond fund, including credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities.
Non-investment grade bonds, commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities.
Specialty
Funds whose investments are concentrated in a specific industry, sector, or geographic area may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than funds whose investments are diversified.
Commodities
While commodities carry risk levels comparable to equities, their prices can be impacted by a wide range of forces including; demographic and technological change, weather, geopolitical events, etc. These factors may lead uncertainly in the marketplace, causing individual commodity prices to move sharply higher or lower. This potential for increased volatility may not make this investment suitable for all investors.
Real Estate
Real estate investments are a narrowly focused sector investment and may exhibit higher volatility than investments with broader investment objectives. An investment in real estate is subject to the same risks as a direct investment in real estate. Such risks include market risk, economic risk and mortgage rate risk.

Investing Solutions
RiverSource offers two categories of investing solutions for your variable annuity
Asset allocation portfolios
Asset allocation and risk managed portfolios are “funds of funds” that are broadly diversified across asset classes, market sectors and holdings. These funds are designed to provide growth while addressing market risk and volatility.
Individual funds
Over 120 expertly selected individual funds offer the opportunity to build a customized portfolio from a variety of investment types including equity funds, fixed income funds and sector and alternative funds.
When selecting optional benefits
Some optional annuity benefits require you to invest in a select group of asset allocation funds that can help manage volatility in your annuity while providing broad diversification. Your Ameriprise Financial advisor can help you determine which funds are available to you, depending on the optional benefits you select.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Optional Benefits
Optional death benefits provide increased protection
Share your legacy with the people and causes you care about with a selection of optional death benefits, available for an additional fee, that can be added to your annuity contract to help protect your investment for your beneficiaries and even increase what you leave behind.
