What AMP and other companies said about each other on FY2026 Q1 earnings calls — extracted verbatim from public transcripts. Mentions from the newest quarter are a Pro feature.
“the opportunity compared to someone like a Morgan Stanley and others, there's a lot more opportunity for us there that we are focused on.”
Ameriprise frames its pledge-lending/bank penetration runway as larger relative to a peer like Morgan Stanley; a competitive benchmark against Morgan Stanley's wealth-lending base.
“Fifth Third has taken over the activity.”
Fifth Third acquired Comerica and is keeping the wealth-management program in-house, which is why Ameriprise is losing the Comerica relationship; a read-through on Fifth Third's Comerica integration.
“In the quarter, Comerica exercised their option for early termination of their relationship with us. This resulted in a onetime $25 million make-whole payment for onboarding costs and future earnings”
Comerica terminated its retail-investment-program relationship with Ameriprise (after being acquired), driving ~$18B of adviser/asset outflows through Q3; a negative read-through on that lost bank-channel relationship.
“we signed a multiyear agreement to become the retail investment program provider the Huntington Bank. This relationship is expected to add approximately 260 advisers and $28 billion in assets with onboarding beginning later this year.”
Ameriprise won a multiyear deal to run Huntington Bank's retail investment program (~260 advisers, $28B assets), a read-through on Huntington outsourcing its wealth platform to AMP.
