Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) has introduced Active Opportunity ETF PortfoliosSM investments and Active Diversified Yield Portfolios, the latest in the Active Portfolios investments family. Active Portfolios investments are a series of easy-to-use, professionally managed portfolios designed for long-term investors seeking increased diversification and risk management.

Active Opportunity ETF Portfolios investments are a series of 12 portfolios designed to provide strong returns in all market environments. Four portfolio strategists; Ameriprise Financial, Dreyfus, Innealta Capital, and F-Squared Investments use a tactical asset allocation investment methodology to make asset allocation and investment recommendations for the portfolios.

Active Diversified Yield Portfolios are a series of four portfolios designed to meet specific yield targets, while covering client fees and addressing long-term inflation. Wilshire Associates, the portfolio strategist, makes asset allocation and investment selection recommendations for the portfolios.

?The Active Portfolios investments platform has evolved into a family of close to 50 portfolios giving individual investors a wide range of diverse, sophisticated, yet simple-to-use product choices," said Sarah McKenzie, Executive Vice President of Wealth Management Products and Solutions at Ameriprise Financial. ?These advice-embedded products utilize professional asset managers working constantly to control the investments, freeing advisors to spend more time on the clients overall financial picture.?
