Balancing Growth and Protectionis a 7-min, 20-sec video that provides clients with a "guided tour" of the RiverSource Structured Solutions(SM) annuity. Using narrated explanations of the productwith supporting animated graphics, the video is designed to explain otherwise complex features, such as "caps" and "buffers" and "floors" in language and examples that the client can understand and appreciate.Ameriprise financial advisors send this video toclients to prepare them for a recommendation, or after a meeting to help support the advisor's recommendation of the product.

This video has a "sister" video calledThe Confidence to Stay Invested,a 2-minute "promotional" video that helps clients understand why they should consider a structured annuity. While the two videos stand alone, they are also effective when used together to explain the "why and how" of RiverSource Structured Soluitons annuity.
