Aristotle Large Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AMP) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“We sold our position in Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AMP) out of the Large Cap Growth strategy to fund our initiation of Meta Platforms. We continue to believe Amerprise’s continued mix-shift to its higher-growth, higher-margin and less capital-intensive Advice & Wealth Management business will increase shareholder value over time; however, META offers a more attractive risk-reward opportunity currently, in our view. In addition, Ameriprise Financial continues to face the near-term headwinds that sustained high-interest rates have on its securities portfolio and customer cash-sorting activity.”
