Did You Know Ameriprise Has Their Own Channel on YouTube?

Note: This post uses some sarcasm. You have been warned.
I was perusing YouTube today and came across Ameriprise’s YouTube Channel. I watched a couple of videos from their “Client Stories” section. They almost gave me the warm fuzzies.
They talk about various clients and what their goals and dreams are and how the Ameriprise advisor helped (vaguely) them and then the clients talk a little about the experience.
What they don’t tell us is what products were used. Understandable since these are feel-good videos. I hope no one decides to use Ameriprise based on watching the videos.

I get warm fuzzies any time I hear about Ameriprise. The same kind of warm fuzzies when I’ve eaten something that’s gone bad.
I remember hearing about Ameriprise a lot in college. (I majored in Financial Planning.) I guess it’s because they’ll hire just about anyone, so you’re almost guaranteed a job straight out of school…

I tried to get Ameriprise removed from our 403(b) plan because they are so expensive I don’t think people can reasonably expect to do well. They are still on the plan, but it ain’t for merit.

I left Ameriprise and converted everything to Vanguard not too long ago, after I did all my research and realized how expensive they were.

I used to use American Express Financial Advisors (now Ameriprise). I dropped them many years ago, and moved all my investments into Vanguard. There were a bunch of class-action lawsuits against Ameriprise and I got a few hundred out of it…
Basically, they were just sales-men, pushing their expensive (hence, poor performing) mutual funds.
