Volatile markets

How can I protect my money?

During periods of market uncertainty, it’s easy for emotions to run high and to lose sight of long-term goals. You want to ensure your savings are secure. An Ameriprise financial advisor can help you determine the investment solutions best suited for you and guide you through fluctuating markets.

Diversify and invest long-term

Retirement can last 20, 30 years or more. Though any day can bring positive or negative market returns, it’s important to maintain a long-term view to help you weather short-term fluctuations. A portfolio that is diverse in stocks, bonds and cash can help. While diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss, it can help minimize the impact of losses in any single asset category. Your Ameriprise financial advisor can help you build a strategy for the long term.

Safeguard your money for heirs

Your retirement savings are intended to help you live the retirement you envision, but you may also want to leave as much as possible to your loved ones and/or the causes you care about. Negative returns that occur shortly before or after you retire can have a drastic impact on your portfolio. A variable annuity with an optional death benefit (for an additional fee) can help mitigate this risk and help ensure you leave as much as possible. Talk to your Ameriprise financial advisor to see what solutions might be right for you.

Grow your retirement assets

Living the retirement you envision can be achieved with the right planning and guidance. While no one can predict the future, you can build income that lasts for a lifetime with options that fit your unique needs:

  • An annuity may help you grow your money, protect it for heirs and provide tax benefits.
  • Permanent life insurance, or cash value life insurance, can provide an opportunity for tax-deferred growth and income tax-free access to cash value – and an income tax-free death benefit.

Investment guidance from your Ameriprise financial advisor can help you plan for the retirement you envision.
