Ameriprise Certificate Company
PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Ameriprise Certificate Company (“ACC”) was incorporated on October 28, 1977 under the laws of Delaware. Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise Financial”), a Delaware corporation, owns 100% of the outstanding voting securities of ACC. Ameriprise Financial and its predecessor companies have a more than 125-year history of providing solutions to help clients confidently achieve their financial objectives.
ACC is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is in the business of issuing face-amount investment certificates. Face-amount certificates issued by ACC entitle the certificate owner to receive at maturity a stated amount of money and interest or credits declared from time to time by ACC, at its discretion. ACC’s certificates are distributed and sold solely by Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), an affiliate of ACC and its network of over 10,000 advisors. AFS is registered as a broker-dealer in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
To ACC’s knowledge, ACC is the largest issuer of face-amount certificates in the United States. However, ACC’s certificate products compete with many other banking and investment products offered by banks, savings and loan associations, asset managers, broker-dealers and others, which may be viewed by potential clients as offering a comparable or superior combination of safety and return on investment. In particular, some of ACC’s products are designed to be competitive with the types of investments offered by banks and thrifts. Since ACC’s face-amount certificates are securities, their offer and sale are subject to regulation under federal and state securities laws. ACC’s certificates are backed by ACC’s qualified assets on deposit and are not insured by any governmental agency or other entity.
ACC’s future profitability is dependent upon changes in the economic, credit and equity environments, as well as the competitive environment.
Products
As of the date of this report, ACC offered the following four different certificate products to the public:
1.    Ameriprise Cash Reserve Certificate
Single payment certificate that permits additional payments and on which ACC guarantees interest rates in advance for a three month term.
Currently sold without a sales charge.
Available as qualified investments for IRAs, 401(k) plans, and other qualified retirement plans.
Current policy is to re-evaluate the certificate product interest crediting rates weekly to respond to marketplace changes.
ACC refers to an independent index or source to set the rates for new sales and must set the rates for an initial purchase of the certificate within a specified range of the rate from such index or source. For renewals, ACC uses such rates as an indication of the competitors’ rates, but is not required to set rates within a specified range.
Non-Jumbo Deposit National Rates for 3 month CDs as published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) are used as the guide in setting rates.
Competes with popular short-term investment and savings vehicles such as certificates of deposit, savings accounts, and money market mutual funds that offer comparable yields, liquidity and safety of principal.
Twenty year maturity.
2.    Ameriprise Flexible Savings Certificate
Single payment certificate that permits a limited amount of additional payments and on which ACC guarantees interest rates in advance for a term of three, six, seven, nine, twelve, thirteen, eighteen, twenty-four, thirty or thirty-six months, and potentially other terms, at ACC’s option.
Currently sold without a sales charge.
Currently premature surrenders incur surrender charges.
Available as qualified investments for IRAs, 401(k) plans, and other qualified retirement plans.
Current policy is to re-evaluate the certificate product interest crediting rates weekly to respond to marketplace changes.

3.    Ameriprise Installment Certificate
Installment payment certificate that declares interest rates in advance for a three-month period.
Currently sold without a sales charge.
Currently premature surrenders incur surrender charges.
Available as qualified investments for IRAs, 401(k) plans, and other qualified retirement plans.
Current policy is to re-evaluate the certificate product interest crediting rates weekly to respond to marketplace changes.
As of the date of this report, ACC has set a fixed rate of 0.25% for new sales.
Intended to help clients save systematically and may compete with passbook savings and NOW accounts.
Ten year maturity.
4.    Ameriprise Stock Market Certificate
Single payment certificate with terms of 52, 104 and 156 weeks that offer the certificate product owner the opportunity to have all or part of the certificate product returns tied to the stock market performance, up to a maximum return, as measured by a broad stock market index, with return of principal guaranteed by ACC. The owner can also choose to earn a fixed rate of interest after the first term.
Currently sold without a sales charge.
Currently premature surrenders incur surrender charges.
Available as qualified investments for IRAs, 401(k) plans, and other qualified retirement plans.
Current policy is to re-evaluate the certificate product interest crediting rates weekly and maximum return rates at least monthly to respond to marketplace changes.
Certain banks offer certificates of deposit that have features similar to this certificate.
The rate of interest is calculated in whole or in part based on any upward movement in a broad-based stock market index up to a maximum return, where the maximum is a fixed rate for a given term, but can be changed at ACC’s discretion for subsequent terms.
Fifteen year maturity for certificates with terms of 52 and 156 weeks and fourteen year maturity for certificates with terms of 104 weeks.
Effective April 1, 2020, the Ameriprise Step-Up Rate Certificate (“SRC”) was closed to new sales.
Within the specified maturity periods, most certificates have interest crediting rate terms ranging from three to forty-eight months. Interest crediting rates are subject to change and certificate product owners can surrender their certificates without penalty at the end of a term. Currently offered ACC certificates (listed above), as well as certain certificates previously issued by ACC (not listed above), contain renewal features which enable certificate owners to renew their certificate term until certificate maturity. Accordingly, certificate products that are currently outstanding in their renewal periods or are exercised for renewal in the future are, and continue to be, liabilities of ACC until their redemption or maturity, whether or not such certificates are available for new sales. ACC guarantees the return of principal, as well as interest once it has been credited, less any penalties that apply, for each of the certificates offered.
Distribution and Marketing Channels
ACC’s certificates are offered solely by AFS and sold pursuant to a distribution agreement which is subject to annual review and approval by ACC’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of AFS or ACC as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The distribution agreement provides for the payment of distribution fees to AFS for services provided. The distribution agreement with AFS can be terminated by either party on sixty days’ written notice.
Asset Management
ACC has retained Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“CMIA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, to manage ACC’s investment portfolio under an investment management agreement, which is subject to annual review and approval by ACC’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of AFS, CMIA or ACC. This investment management agreement with CMIA can be terminated by either party on sixty days’ written notice.
Regulation
ACC is required to maintain cash and “qualified assets” meeting the standards of Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act, as modified by an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amortized cost of such investments must be at least equal to ACC’s net liabilities on all outstanding face-amount certificates plus $250,000. ACC’s qualified assets consist of cash equivalents, residential mortgage backed securities, syndicated loans and commercial mortgage loans, U.S. government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, equity securities, equity index options and other securities meeting specified standards. So long as ACC wishes to rely on the SEC order, as a condition to the order, ACC has agreed to maintain an amount of unappropriated retained earnings and capital equal to at least 5% of certificate reserves (less outstanding certificate loans). To the extent that payment of a dividend would decrease the capital ratio below the required 5%, payment of a dividend would be restricted. In determining
        4


compliance with this condition, qualified assets are valued in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes where such provisions are applicable.
ACC has also entered into a written understanding with the Minnesota Department of Commerce that ACC will maintain capital equal to at least 5% of the assets of ACC (less outstanding certificate loans). To the extent that payment of a dividend would decrease this ratio below the required 5%, payment of a dividend would be restricted. When computing its capital for these purposes, ACC values its assets on the basis of statutory accounting for insurance companies rather than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). ACC is subject to examination and supervision by the Minnesota Department of Commerce (Banking Division) and the SEC.
Following conversion of ACC’s affiliate Ameriprise National Trust Bank into a federal savings bank (“Ameriprise Bank”), Ameriprise Financial continued to be subject to ongoing supervision by the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). FRB regulation and supervisory oversight of Ameriprise Financial includes examinations, regular financial reporting, and prudential standards, such as capital, liquidity, risk management and parameters for business conduct and internal governance. In order to maintain Ameriprise Financial’s permission under applicable bank holding company laws and regulations to engage in business activities other than banking or activities closely related to banking, each of Ameriprise Financial and Ameriprise Bank, as Ameriprise’s sole insured depository institution subsidiary, must remain “well-capitalized” and “well-managed” under applicable federal banking regulations, and Ameriprise Bank must receive at least a “satisfactory” rating in its most recent examination under the Community Reinvestment Act. Failure to meet one or more of certain requirements and regulations would mean, depending on the requirements not met and any agreement then reached with the FRB, that until cured Ameriprise Financial (and therefore ACC) could not undertake new activities, continue certain activities, or make certain acquisitions. As a subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, ACC is (absent exclusion or exemption) required to comply with investment limitations on its portfolio and other limitations under applicable banking laws, including what is commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
ACC’s operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could have a material adverse effect on ACC’s business, financial condition or results of operations. We believe that the following information identifies the material factors affecting ACC based on the information we currently know. However, the risks and uncertainties ACC faces are not limited to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties which are not presently known or which are currently believed to be immaterial may also adversely affect ACC’s business.
Market Risks
The COVID-19 pandemic creates significant risks and uncertainties for ACC’s business.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has presented ongoing significant economic and societal disruption and unpredictability, which has affected ACC’s business and operating environment driven by a low interest rate environment, volatility and changes in the equity markets and potential associated implications to client behavior. While portions of world economies have been differently impacted by the pandemic, COVID-19 continues its ongoing impact and has been occurring in multiple waves, so there are still no reliable estimates of how long the implications from the pandemic will last, the effects current and other new variants will ultimately have, how many people are likely to be affected by it, or its impact on the overall economy. There is still significant uncertainty around the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact ACC’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, which depends on current and future developments, including the ultimate scope, duration and severity of the pandemic, success of worldwide vaccination efforts, multiple mutations of COVID-19 or similar diseases, the effectiveness of ACC’s office reopenings, the additional measures that may be taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak (such as legislative action, stimulus, quarantines and travel restrictions, effectiveness of health care, and new or interim regulation), the actions of other third parties in response to the pandemic, and the possible further impacts on the global economy. It is unclear if the current economic situation will stabilize, so ACC seeks to effectively manage its risks, but ACC’s ability to do so is subject to the inherent limitations of obtaining timely, reliable analysis in an ever-changing situation. No assurance can be given that the steps ACC and its affiliates have taken will continue to be effective or appropriate.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacted, and will likely continue to impact, ACC. Consumer demand, client investing decisions in light of ongoing economic uncertainty, investment income, owned asset values, and other financial assumptions and reserve calculations have been, and may further be, negatively impacted from a decline and volatility of asset prices, sustained reduction in interest rates, widening of credit spreads, credit deterioration, decreased liquidity in trading markets and other economic and market effects of the global pandemic. ACC and its affiliates continue to actively monitor the potential direct and indirect impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on its business. If these conditions continue or worsen, ACC could continue to experience volatility and uncertainty in volumes, uncertainty in availability and price levels of financial assets and hedges, changes in client activity and fees, new constraints and costs of capital, and demand for ACC’s products and services and other impacts on ACC’s financial position.
COVID-19 has had wide-reaching impacts, making many decisions, interactions and transactions more complex. The COVID-19 pandemic also affects the ability of ACC and its affiliates’ suppliers, distributors, vendors and other counterparties to provide products and services or otherwise fulfill their commitments to ACC and its affiliates.

ACC’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by market fluctuations and by economic, political and other factors.
ACC’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially affected by market fluctuations and by economic and other factors. Such factors, which can be global, regional, national or local in nature, include: (i) the COVID-19 pandemic, or any variation thereof (ii) political, social, economic and market conditions; (iii) the availability and cost of capital; (iv) the level and volatility of equity prices, commodity prices and interest rates, currency values and other market indices; (v) technological changes and events; (vi) U.S. and foreign government fiscal and tax policies; (vii) U.S. and foreign government ability, real or perceived, to avoid defaulting on government securities; (viii) the availability and cost of credit; (ix) the ongoing inflationary environment; (x) investor sentiment and confidence in the financial markets; (xi) terrorism and armed conflicts; and (xii) natural disasters such as weather catastrophes and widespread health emergencies. These factors also may have an impact on ACC’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
ACC’s financial condition and results of operations are affected by the “spread,” or the difference between the returns ACC earns on the investments that support its product obligations and the amounts that ACC must pay certificate holders.
ACC’s investment products are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and ACC’s future costs associated with such variations may differ from its historical costs. During periods of increasing market interest rates, ACC may offer higher crediting rates on existing face-amount certificates to remain competitive with other products in the market. Because returns on invested assets may not increase as quickly as current interest rates, ACC may have to accept a lower spread and thus lower profitability or face a decline in sales and greater loss of existing certificates. In addition, increases in market interest rates may cause increased certificate surrenders as certificate holders seek to shift assets to products with perceived or actual higher returns. This process may lead to an earlier than expected outflow of cash from ACC’s business. Also, increases in market interest rates may result in extension of certain cash flows from structured mortgage assets. Certificate withdrawals and surrenders may also require investment assets to be sold at a time when the prices of those assets are lower because of the increase in market interest rates, which may result in realized investment losses. Increases in crediting rates, as well as surrenders and withdrawals, could have an adverse effect on ACC’s financial condition and results of operations.
During periods of falling interest rates or stagnancy of low interest rates, ACC’s spread may be reduced or could become negative primarily because ACC may adjust the interest rates it credits on most of the products downward only at limited, pre-established intervals. Interest rate fluctuations also could have an adverse effect on the results of ACC’s investment portfolio. During periods of declining market interest rates or stagnancy of low interest rates, the interest ACC receives on variable interest rate investments decreases. In addition, during those periods, ACC is forced to reinvest the cash it receives as interest or return of principal on its investments in lower-yielding high-grade instruments or in lower-credit instruments to maintain comparable returns. Issuers of certain callable fixed income securities also may decide to prepay their obligations in order to borrow at lower market rates which increase the risk that ACC may have to reinvest the cash proceeds of these securities in lower-yielding or lower-credit instruments. Offsetting some of these risks is the fact that a significant portion of certificate balances do not have a minimum guaranteed interest crediting rate.
Downturns and volatility in equity markets have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of ACC. Market downturns and volatility may cause, and have caused, potential new purchasers of ACC’s products to refrain from purchasing or to purchase fewer ACC certificate products. Additionally, downturns and volatility in financial markets can have, and have had, an adverse effect on the performance of ACC’s investment portfolio.
For additional information regarding the sensitivity of the fixed income securities in ACC’s investment portfolio to interest rate fluctuations, see Part II, Item 7A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K —“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Business Risks
ACC’s business is regulated and changes in legislation or regulation may reduce ACC’s profitability and limit its growth.
ACC operates in a regulated industry. As a registered investment company, ACC must observe certain governance, disclosure, record-keeping, marketing, privacy, data protection and other operating requirements. Various regulatory and governmental bodies have the authority to review ACC’s products and business practices and to bring regulatory or other legal actions against ACC if, in their view, ACC’s practices are improper. Any enforcement actions, investigations or other proceedings brought against ACC or its directors or employees of its affiliates by its regulators may result in fines, injunctions or other disciplinary actions that could harm ACC’s reputation or impact ACC’s results of operations. Further, any future legislation or changes to the laws and regulations applicable to ACC’s business such as possible changes brought about by any U.S. Department of Labor applicable regulation as well as state and other fiduciary rules, the SEC best interest standards, or similar standards such as the Certified Financial Planner Board standards pertaining to the fiduciary status of investment advice providers to retirement investors (primarily account holders in 401(k) plans and IRAs and other types of ERISA clients) and related issues. Each of these has a potential impact regarding how ERISA investment advice fiduciaries and others can provide products manufactured by affiliates to, or engage in certain principal transactions with, retirement investors, including incremental requirements, costs and risks that may be imposed on ACC as a result of such changes, may affect the operations and financial condition of ACC. In addition, after the conversion of Ameriprise Bank into a
        6


federal savings bank, Ameriprise Financial became subject to ongoing supervision by the FRB. As a subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, ACC is (absent exclusion or exemption) required to comply with certain limits on its activity, including investment limitations on its portfolio and other limitations under applicable banking laws. Failure to meet one or more of certain requirements and regulations would mean, depending on the violation and any agreement then reached with the FRB, Ameriprise Financial (and therefore ACC) could not undertake new activities, continue certain activities, or make certain acquisitions until such violation is cured.
The elimination of LIBOR may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain derivatives and floating rate securities ACC holds, the activities ACC conducts, and any other assets or liabilities, the value of which is tied to LIBOR.
The elimination of LIBOR and transition to alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of, return on and trading markets for a broad array of financial products, including any LIBOR-based securities, loans and derivatives that are included in ACC’s financial assets and liabilities. U.S. Dollar LIBOR is anticipated to be phased out by June 30, 2023, and replaced by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, and all other LIBOR currencies were phased out by December 31, 2021. There will continue to be work required to transition to the new benchmark rates for U.S. Dollar LIBOR. In addition, LIBOR may perform differently during the phase-out period than in the past which could result in lower interest payments and a reduction in the value of certain assets. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on various derivatives, floating rate securities and other securities ACC holds, the activities ACC conducts and any other assets or liabilities (as well as contractual rights and obligations), the value of which is tied to LIBOR. The value or profitability of these products and instruments, and ACC’s costs of operations, may be adversely affected until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.
If the counterparties to the derivative instruments ACC uses to hedge certain certificate liabilities default, ACC may be exposed to risks it had sought to mitigate, which could adversely affect ACC’s financial condition and results of operations.
ACC uses derivative instruments to hedge certain certificate liabilities. ACC enters into a variety of derivative instruments with a number of counterparties. If ACC’s counterparties become insolvent or fail to honor their obligations under the contracts governing such instruments, ACC’s hedges of the related risk may be ineffective. That failure could have a material adverse effect on ACC’s financial condition and results of operations. The risk of counterparty default may increase during periods of capital market volatility.
Some of ACC’s investments are relatively illiquid and ACC may have difficulty selling these investments.
ACC invests a portion of its assets in privately placed fixed income securities and commercial mortgage loans, which are relatively illiquid. ACC’s investment manager periodically reviews ACC’s private placement investment using adopted standards to categorize the investment as liquid or illiquid. As of December 31, 2021, commercial mortgage loans and private placement fixed income securities that have been categorized as illiquid represented approximately 2% of the carrying value of ACC’s investment portfolio. If ACC requires significant amounts of cash on short notice in excess of its normal cash requirements, ACC may have difficulty selling its investment in a timely manner or be forced to sell them for an amount less than it would otherwise have been able to realize, or both, which could have an adverse effect on ACC’s financial condition and results of operations.
The determination of the amount of allowances taken on certain loans and investments is subject to management’s evaluation and judgment and could materially impact ACC’s results of operations or financial position.
The determination of the amount of allowances vary by investment type and is based upon ACC’s periodic evaluation and assessment of inherent and known risks associated with the respective asset class.
Management uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. The determination of the amount of allowances on loans is based upon the asset’s expected life, considering past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Historical trends may not be indicative of future impairments or allowances.
If ACC’s reserves for future certificate redemptions and maturities are inadequate, ACC may be required to increase its reserve liabilities, which could adversely affect ACC’s results of operations and financial condition.
Investment certificates may be purchased either with a lump-sum payment or by installment payments. Certificate product owners are entitled to receive, at maturity, a definite sum of money. Payments from certificate owners are credited to investment certificate reserves. Investment certificate reserves accumulate interest at specified percentage rates as declared by ACC. Reserves are also maintained for advance payments made by certificate owners, accrued interest thereon, and for additional credits in excess of minimum guaranteed rates and accrued interest thereon. On certificates allowing for the deduction of a surrender charge, the cash surrender values may be less than accumulated investment certificate reserves prior to maturity dates. Cash surrender values on certificates allowing for no surrender charge are equal to certificate reserves. The payment distribution, reserve accumulation rates, cash surrender values, reserve values and other matters are governed by the 1940 Act.
        7


Certain certificates offer a return based on the relative change in a stock market index. The certificates with an equity-based return contain embedded derivatives, which are carried at fair value within Certificate reserves. The fair values of these embedded derivatives incorporate current market data inputs. Changes in fair value are reflected in Provision for certificate reserves.
ACC monitors its reserve levels continually. If ACC concluded its reserves were insufficient to cover actual or expected redemptions or maturities, ACC would be required to increase its reserves and incur income statement charges for the period in which it makes the determination. Such a determination could adversely affect ACC’s financial condition and results of operations.
Operational Risks
Intense competition could negatively affect ACC’s ability to maintain or increase its market share and profitability.
ACC’s business operates in an intensely competitive industry segment. ACC competes based on a number of factors including name recognition, service, interest rates, product features and perceived financial strength. ACC’s competitors include broker-dealers, banks, asset managers and other financial institutions. ACC’s business faces competitors that have greater market share, offer a broader range of products and/or have greater financial resources.
ACC’s affiliated distributor may be unable to attract and retain key talent.
ACC is dependent on the financial advisors of AFS for all of the sales of its certificate products. A significant number of such financial advisors operate as independent contractors under a franchise agreement with AFS. The market for these financial advisors is highly competitive, and there can be no assurance that AFS will be successful in its efforts to maintain its current network of financial advisors or to recruit and retain new advisors to its network. If AFS is unable to attract and retain quality financial advisors, fewer advisors would be available to sell ACC’s certificate products and ACC’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
A failure to protect the reputation of ACC or its affiliates could adversely affect the business of ACC.
The ability of ACC to market and sell its products is highly dependent upon external perceptions of ACC’s and its affiliates’ level of service, business practices and financial condition. Damage to the reputation of ACC or its affiliates could cause significant harm to the business and prospects of ACC. Reputational damage may arise from numerous sources including litigation or regulatory actions, failing to deliver minimum standards of service and quality, compliance failures, any perceived or actual weaknesses in ACC’s financial strength or liquidity, clients’ or potential clients’ perceived failure of how ACC addresses certain political, environmental, social or governance topics, technological, cybersecurity, or other security breaches (including attempted or inadvertent breaches) resulting in improper disclosure of client or employee personal information, unethical or improper behavior and the misconduct or error of employees of its affiliates, AFS’s advisors and counterparties. Additionally, a failure to develop new products and services, or successfully manage associated operational risks, could harm ACC’s reputation and potentially expose ACC to additional costs, or negative public relations or social media campaigns. Any negative incidents can quickly erode trust and confidence, particularly if they result in adverse mainstream and social media publicity, governmental investigations or litigation. Adverse developments with respect to the financial industry may also, by association, negatively impact ACC’s reputation or result in greater regulatory or legislative scrutiny or litigation against ACC.
Misconduct by employees of ACC’s affiliates may be difficult to detect and deter and may damage ACC’s reputation. Misconduct or errors by employees of ACC’s affiliates, AFS’s advisors or counterparties could result in violations of law, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational or financial harm. Misconduct or errors can occur in ACC’s business. ACC and its affiliates cannot always deter misconduct of employees of ACC’s affiliates, and the precautions its affiliates take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. Preventing and detecting misconduct among ACC’s affiliates franchisee advisors presents additional challenges and could have an adverse effect on ACC’s business. ACC’s reputation depends on its continued identification of and mitigation against conflicts of interest. ACC has procedures and controls that are designed to identify, address and appropriately disclose perceived conflicts of interest, though ACC’s reputation could be damaged if ACC fails, or appears to fail, to address conflicts of interest appropriately.
ACC may face direct or indirect effects of or responses to climate change.
Climate change may increase the severity and frequency of catastrophes, or adversely affect ACC’s investment portfolio or investor sentiment. Climate change may increase the frequency and severity of weather-related disasters and pandemics. In addition, climate change regulation may affect the prospects of companies and other entities whose securities ACC’s holds, or ACC’s willingness to continue to hold their securities. Climate change may also influence investor sentiment with respect to ACC and investments in ACC’s portfolio. ACC cannot predict the long-term impacts from climate change or related regulation.
Failure of ACC’s service providers to perform their responsibilities could adversely affect ACC’s business.
ACC’s business operations, including investment management, transfer agent, custody and distribution services, are performed by affiliated service providers, or in some cases their subcontractors, pursuant to formal contracts. The failure of a service provider to fulfill its responsibilities could have an adverse effect on ACC’s financial condition and results of operations that could be material.
        8


Changes in corporate tax laws and regulations and changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, as well as adverse determinations regarding the application of such laws and regulations, could adversely affect ACC’s earnings.
ACC is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states and municipalities. ACC must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws when determining the provision for income taxes and must also make estimates about when in the future certain items affect taxable income in the various tax jurisdictions. In addition, changes to the Internal Revenue Code, administrative rulings or court decisions could increase ACC’s provision for income taxes and reduce ACC’s earnings.
Many of the products that ACC or Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates issue or on which these businesses are based receive favorable treatment under current U.S. federal income or estate tax law. Changes in U.S. federal income or estate tax law could reduce or eliminate the tax advantages of certain of Ameriprise Financial’s products and thus make such products or ACC’s products less attractive to clients or cause a change in client demand and activity.
The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters and catastrophes could adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of ACC.
The occurrence of natural disasters and catastrophes, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, fires, blackouts, severe winter weather, explosions, pandemic disease (such as COVID-19) and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism, riots, civil unrest including large-scale protests, insurrections and military actions, could adversely affect the results of operations or financial condition of ACC. Such disasters and catastrophes may impact ACC directly by damaging its facilities, preventing service providers or employees of its affiliates from performing their roles or otherwise disturbing its ordinary business operations. These impacts could be particularly severe to the extent they affect access to physical facilities or the physical well-being of large numbers of employees of ACC’s affiliates, ACC’s computer-based data processing, transmission, storage and retrieval systems and destroy or release valuable data. Such disasters and catastrophes may also impact ACC indirectly by changing the condition and behaviors of its customers, business counterparties and regulators, as well as by causing declines or volatility in the economic and financial markets, which could in turn have an adverse effect on ACC’s investment portfolio.
ACC cannot predict the impact that changing climate conditions may have on the frequency and severity of natural disasters or on overall economic stability and sustainability. As such, ACC cannot be sure that its actions to identify and mitigate the risks associated with such disasters and catastrophes will be effective.
ACC’s operational systems and networks are subject to evolving cybersecurity or other technological risks, which could result in the disclosure of confidential information, loss of ACC’s proprietary information, damage to ACC’s reputation, additional costs to ACC, regulatory penalties and other adverse impacts.
The business of ACC and its affiliates is reliant upon internal and third-party technology systems and networks to process, transmit and store information, including clients’, employees’ and advisors’ personal information, as well as proprietary information, and to conduct many business activities and transactions. Maintaining the security and integrity of this information and these systems and networks, and appropriately responding to any cybersecurity and privacy incidents (including attempts), is critical to the success of ACC’s business operations, including ACC’s reputation, to the retention of AFS’s advisors and clients, and to the protection of ACC’s proprietary information and clients’ personal information. To date, ACC has not experienced any material breaches of or interference with its centrally controlled systems and networks. However, ACC and its affiliates routinely face and address such evolving threats and have been able to detect and respond to these incidents to date without a material loss of client financial assets or information through the use of ongoing monitoring and continual improvement of ACC’s security capabilities and incident response manual.
Employees of ACC’s affiliates, as well as service providers, have also been threatened by, among others, phishing and spear phishing scams, social engineering attacks, account takeovers, introductions of malware, attempts at electronic break-ins, and the submission of fraudulent payment requests. The number of attempted phishing attacks has increased substantially every year, which is expected to continue. Attempted or successful breaches or interference by third parties or by insiders that may occur in the future could have a material adverse impact on ACC’s business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations.
On a corporate basis, various laws and regulations, and in some cases contractual obligations, require ACC’s affiliates to establish and maintain corporate policies and technical and operational measures designed to protect sensitive client, employee, contractor and vendor information, and to respond to cybersecurity incidents. ACC’s affiliates have established policies and implemented such technical and operational measures and have in place policies that require AFS’s franchisee advisors who control locally their own technology operations to do the same. Changes in ACC’s business or technological advancements may also require corresponding changes in ACC’s systems, networks and data security and response measures. While accessing ACC and its affiliates products and services, ACC’s customers may use computers and other devices that sit outside of ACC and its affiliates security control environment. In addition, the ever-increasing reliance on technology systems and networks and the occurrence and potential adverse impact of attacks on such systems and networks (including in recent well-publicized security breaches at other companies), both generally and in the financial services industry, have enhanced government and regulatory scrutiny of the measures taken by companies to protect against cybersecurity threats. As these threats, and government and regulatory oversight of associated risks, continue to evolve, ACC may be required to expend additional resources to enhance or expand upon the technical and operational security and response measures ACC and its affiliates currently maintain.
        9


Despite the measures ACC has taken and may in the future take to address and mitigate cybersecurity, privacy and technology risks, ACC cannot be certain that ACC and its affiliates systems and networks will not be subject to successful attacks, breaches or interference. Nor can ACC be certain that AFS franchise advisors will comply with ACC and its affiliates policies and procedures in this regard, or that clients will engage in safe and secure online practices. Furthermore, human error occurs from time to time and such mistakes can lead to the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information. Any such event may result in operational disruptions, as well as unauthorized access to or the disclosure or loss of, ACC’s proprietary information or ACC’s or affiliates’ client, employee, vendor or advisor personal information, which in turn may result in legal claims, regulatory scrutiny and liability, reputational damage, the incurrence of costs to respond to, eliminate, or mitigate further exposure, the loss of clients or AFS advisors, or other damage to ACC’s business. While ACC and its affiliates maintain cyber liability insurance that provides both third-party liability and first-party liability coverages, it may not protect ACC against all cybersecurity- and privacy-related losses. Furthermore, ACC may be subject to indemnification costs and liability to third parties if ACC breaches any confidentiality or security obligations regarding vendor data or for losses related to the data. In addition, the trend toward broad consumer and general-public notification of such incidents could exacerbate the harm to ACC’s business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations in the event of a breach. Even if ACC and its affiliates successfully protect ACC’s technology infrastructure and the confidentiality of sensitive data and conduct appropriate incident response, ACC may incur significant expenses in connection with ACC’s responses to any such attacks, as well as the adoption, implementation and maintenance of appropriate security measures. In addition, ACC and its affiliates regulators may seek to hold ACC’s affiliate responsible for the acts, mistakes or omissions of AFS franchise advisors even where they procure and control much of the physical office space and technology infrastructure they use to operate their businesses locally.
Protection from system interruptions and operating errors is important to ACC’s business. If ACC experiences a sustained interruption to ACC’s telecommunications or data processing systems, or other failure in operational execution, it could harm ACC’s business.
Operating errors and system or network interruptions could delay and disrupt ACC’s operations. Interruptions could be caused by mistake, malfeasance or other operational failures by service provider staff or employee error or malfeasance, interference by third parties, including hackers, ACC’s implementation of new technology, or maintenance of existing technology. ACC’s financial, accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate or report data properly, experience connectivity disruptions or otherwise become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond ACC’s control, adversely affecting ACC’s ability to process transactions or provide products and services to clients.
ACC and its affiliates rely on third-party service providers and vendors for certain communications, technology and business functions and other services, and ACC and its affiliates face the risk of their operational failure (including, without limitation, failure caused by an inaccuracy, untimeliness or other deficiency in data reporting), technical or security failures, termination or capacity constraints of any of the third-party service providers that ACC or its affiliates use to facilitate or are component providers to ACC’s activities. Any such failure, termination or constraint or flawed execution or response could adversely impact ACC’s ability to effect transactions, service clients, manage exposure to risk, or otherwise achieve desired outcomes.
Risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective in identifying or mitigating risk exposure in all market environments, products, vendors or against all types of risk, including employee and financial advisor misconduct.
ACC’s policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks may not be fully effective in mitigating ACC’s risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. Many of ACC’s methods of managing risk and the associated exposures are based upon observed historical market behavior or statistics based on historical models. Experience may not emerge as expected and during periods of market volatility or due to unforeseen events, the historically derived experience and correlations may not be valid. As a result, these methods may not predict future exposures accurately, which could be significantly greater than what ACC’s models indicate. Further, some controls are manual and are subject to inherent limitations. This could cause ACC to incur investment losses or cause ACC’s hedging and other risk management strategies to be ineffective. Other risk management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients, catastrophe occurrence or other matters that are publicly available or otherwise accessible to ACC, which may not always be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated.
ACC’s financial performance also requires ACC to develop, effectively manage, and market new or existing products and services that appropriately anticipate or respond to changes in the industry and evolving client demands. The development and introduction of new products and services require continued innovative effort and may require significant time, resources, and ongoing support. Substantial risk and uncertainties are associated with the introduction of new products and services, including the implementation of new and appropriate operational controls and procedures, shifting client and market preferences, the introduction of competing products or services and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Management of operational, legal and regulatory risks requires, among other things, policies and procedures to record properly and verify a large number of transactions and events, and these policies and procedures may not be fully effective in mitigating ACC’s risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk, including those associated with ACC’s or its affiliates’ key vendors. Insurance and other traditional risk-shifting tools may be held by or available to ACC in order to manage certain exposures, but they are subject to terms such as deductibles, coinsurance, limits and policy exclusions, as well as risk of counterparty denial of coverage, default or insolvency.

Changes in and the adoption of accounting standards could have a material impact on ACC’s financial statements
ACC’s accounting policies are fundamental to how it records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. ACC prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.It is possible that accounting changes could have a material effect on ACC’s financial condition and results of operations. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and other regulators often change the financial accounting and reporting standards governing the preparation of ACC’s financial statements. These changes are difficult to predict and could impose additional governance, internal control and disclosure demands. In some cases, ACC could be required to apply a new or revised standard retrospectively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements.

Item 7. Management’s Narrative Analysis
The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect Ameriprise Certificate Company’s (“ACC’s”) plans, estimates and beliefs. ACC’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this report, particularly in Part 1 - Item 1A - “Risk Factors.” Management’s narrative analysis is presented pursuant to General Instructions I(2)(a) of Form 10-K in lieu of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Recent Developments Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented ongoing significant economic and societal disruption and market unpredictability, which has affected ACC’s business and operating environment driven by a low interest rate environment and volatility and changes in the equity markets and the potential associated implications to client behavior. COVID-19 continues its ongoing impact and has been occurring in multiple waves, so there are still no reliable estimates of how long the implications from the pandemic will last, the effects current and other new variants will ultimately have, how many people are likely to be affected by it, or its impact on the overall economy. There is still significant uncertainty around the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, which depends on current and future developments, including the ultimate scope, duration and severity of the pandemic, success of worldwide vaccination efforts, multiple mutations of COVID-19 or similar diseases, the effectiveness of our office reopenings, the additional measures that may be taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak, the actions of third parties in response to the pandemic, and the possible further impacts on the global economy. Given the ongoing impact of the pandemic, financial results may not be comparable to previous years and the results presented in this report may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results. For further information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any potentially material effects, see Part 1 - Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Significant Accounting Policies
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on ACC’s future results of operations or financial condition and significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to ACC’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-9 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
ACC’s net income is derived primarily from the after-tax yield on investments and realized investment gains (losses), less investment expenses and interest credited on certificate reserve liabilities. Net income trends occur largely due to changes in returns on ACC’s investment portfolio, from realization of investment gains (losses) and from changes in interest credited to certificate products. ACC follows U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Net income decreased $4.2 million, or 14%, for 2021 compared the prior year primarily due to lower investment income, partially offset by lower net provision for certificate reserves, investment expenses and tax expense.
Investment income decreased $67.6 million, or 50%, for 2021 compared to the prior year reflecting a decrease in the average invested asset yield and lower average investment balances.
Investment expenses decreased $14.1 million, or 33%, for 2021 compared to the prior year primarily due to volume-driven decreases in distribution, investment advisory, and transfer agent fees.
Net provision for certificate reserves decreased $46.9 million, or 83%, for 2021 compared to the prior year primarily due to lower average client crediting rates as well as lower average certificate balances.
The effective tax rate was 24.1% for 2021 compared to 23.9% for the prior year.
Fair Value Measurements
ACC reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value; specifically derivatives, embedded derivatives, and most investments and cash equivalents. Fair value assumes the exchange of assets or liabilities occurs in orderly transactions. Companies are not permitted to use market prices that are the result of a forced liquidation or distressed sale. ACC includes actual market prices or observable inputs in its fair value measurements to the extent available. Non-binding broker quotes are obtained when quotes from third-party pricing services are not available. ACC validates prices obtained from third parties through a variety of means such as: price variance analysis, subsequent sales testing, stale price review, price comparison across pricing vendors and due diligence reviews of vendors. See Note 8 to ACC’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding ACC’s fair value measurements.

ACC’s future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements contained in this report, are made only as of the date hereof. ACC undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
ACC has three principal components of market risk: interest rate risk, equity price risk, and credit risk. Interest rate risk results from investing in assets that are somewhat longer and reset less frequently than the liabilities they support. ACC manages interest rate risk through the use of a variety of tools that from time to time include derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, which change the interest rate characteristics of client liabilities or investment assets. Due to certain provisions for certificates being impacted by the value of equity indices, from time to time ACC enters into risk management strategies that may include the use of equity derivative instruments, such as equity options, to mitigate ACC’s exposure to volatility in the equity markets.
Ameriprise Financial’s Financial Risk Management Committee (“FRMC”), which is comprised of senior managers, holds regularly scheduled meetings to review models projecting various interest rate scenarios and risk/return measures and their effect on various portfolios managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“CMIA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, including that of ACC. ACC’s Board of Directors has delegated the responsibilities of the Investment Committee of ACC to the FRMC. FRMC’s objectives are to structure ACC’s portfolio of investment securities based upon the type and behavior of the certificates in the certificate reserve liabilities, to achieve targeted levels of profitability within defined risk parameters and to meet certificate contractual obligations.
ACC primarily invests in commercial mortgage and asset backed securities and U.S. government and corporate debt securities to provide its certificate owners with a competitive rate of return on their certificates while managing risk. These investments provide ACC with a historically dependable and targeted margin between the interest rate earned on investments and the interest rate credited to certificate owners’ accounts. ACC does not invest in securities to generate short-term trading profits for its own account.
To evaluate interest rate and equity price risk, ACC performs sensitivity testing which measures the impact on pretax income from the sources listed below for a 12 month period following a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates and a hypothetical 10% decline in equity prices. The interest rate risk test assumes a sudden 100 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve, with rates then staying at those levels for the next 12 months. The equity price risk test assumes a sudden 10% drop in equity prices, with equity prices then staying at those levels for the next 12 months. In estimating the values of stock market certificates, ACC assumes no change in implied market volatility despite the 10% drop in equity prices.
The following tables present ACC’s estimate of the pretax impact of these hypothetical market movements as of December 31, 2021:
 Interest Rate Increase 100 Basis PointsInterest Rate Exposure to Pretax Income
Before Hedge ImpactHedge ImpactNet Impact
 (in thousands)
Certificates$13,849 N/A$13,849 
N/A  Not Applicable
Equity Price Decline 10%Equity Price Exposure to Pretax Income
Before Hedge ImpactHedge ImpactNet Impact
 (in thousands)
Certificates$150 $(183)$(33)
The above results compare to an estimated positive impact to pretax income of $15.4 million related to a 100 basis point increase in interest rates and an estimated negative impact of $81 thousand related to a 10% equity price decline as of December 31, 2020. The change in the impact from a 100 basis point increase in interest rates compared to the prior year was primarily driven by a shorter duration asset portfolio and higher expected prepayments given the decline in Treasury rates in 2020.
Actual results could differ materially from those illustrated above as they are based on a number of estimates and assumptions. These include assuming that implied market volatility does not change when equity prices fall by 10%, the composition of invested assets and liabilities does not change in the 12 month period following the hypothetical market decline and that the 100 basis point increase in interest rates is a parallel shift in the yield curve. Furthermore, ACC has not tried to anticipate actions management might take to increase revenues or reduce expenses in these scenarios.
        13


The selection of a 100 basis point interest rate increase and a 10% equity price decline should not be construed as a prediction of future market events. Impacts of larger or smaller changes in interest rates or equity prices may not be proportional to those shown for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates or a 10% decline in equity prices.
ACC has interest rate risk from its Flexible Savings Certificates and other fixed rate certificates. These products are investment certificates generally ranging in amounts from $1 thousand to $2 million with interest crediting rate terms ranging from three to 48 months. ACC guarantees an interest rate to the holders of these products. Payments collected from clients are primarily invested in fixed income securities to fund the client credited rate with the spread between the rate earned from investments and the rate credited to clients recorded as earned income. Client liabilities and investment assets generally differ as it relates to basis, repricing or maturity characteristics. Rates credited to clients generally reset at shorter intervals than the yield on underlying investments. This exposure is not currently hedged although ACC monitors its investment strategy and makes modifications based on changing liabilities and the expected interest rate environment. ACC also has interest rate risk from its Step-Up Rate Certificates, which was not material as of December 31, 2021. ACC had $5.0 billion in reserves included in Certificate reserves as of December 31, 2021 to cover the liabilities associated with these products.
ACC has equity price risk from its Stock Market Certificates. Stock Market Certificates are purchased for amounts generally from $1 thousand to $2 million for terms of 52 weeks, 104 weeks or 156 weeks which can be extended to a maximum of 15 years depending on the term. For each term the certificate holder can choose to participate 100% in any percentage increase in the S&P 500® Index up to a maximum return or choose partial participation in any increase in the S&P 500® Index plus a fixed rate of interest guaranteed in advance. If partial participation is selected, the total of equity-linked return and guaranteed rate of interest cannot exceed the maximum return. ACC had $290.4 million in reserves included in Certificate reserves as of December 31, 2021 to cover the liabilities associated with these products.
The equity-linked return to investors creates equity price risk exposure. ACC seeks to minimize this exposure with purchased futures and call spreads that replicate what ACC must credit to client accounts. This risk continues to be fully hedged.
Stock Market Certificates have interest rate risk as changes in interest rates affect the fair value of the payout to be made to the certificate holder. This risk is immaterial and not currently hedged.
Credit Risk
ACC is exposed to credit risk within its investment portfolio, including its loan portfolio, and through derivative counterparties. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty of an obligor’s continued ability to make timely payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument or contract. ACC considers its total potential credit exposure to each counterparty and its affiliates to ensure compliance with pre-established credit guidelines at the time it enters into a transaction which would potentially increase ACC’s credit risk. These guidelines and oversight of credit risk are managed through ACC’s comprehensive enterprise risk management program that includes members of senior management.
ACC manages the risk of credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties by applying disciplined fundamental credit analysis and underwriting standards, prudently limiting exposures to lower-quality, higher-yielding investments, and diversifying exposures by issuer, industry, region and underlying investment type. ACC remains exposed to occasional adverse cyclical economic downturns during which default rates may be significantly higher than the long-term historical average used in pricing.
ACC manages its credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master netting arrangements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another upon default. Generally, ACC’s current credit exposure on over-the-counter derivative contracts is limited to a derivative counterparty’s net positive fair value of derivative contracts after taking into consideration the existence of netting arrangements and any collateral received. This exposure is monitored and managed to an acceptable threshold level.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
ACC maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be reported in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in and pursuant to SEC regulations, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to ACC’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, ACC’s disclosure controls and procedures, however well
        14


designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
ACC’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of ACC’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, ACC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ACC’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance as of December 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in ACC’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ACC’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The Board of Directors of ACC, at the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as independent registered public accountants to audit the Consolidated Financial Statements of ACC for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed or to be billed by PwC for each of the last two years for professional services rendered for the audit of ACC’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements and services that were provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were $130,500 and $123,000 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees, All Other Fees
ACC was not billed by PwC for any fees for audit-related services, tax fees or any other fees for 2021 or 2020.
Policy on Pre-Approval of Services Provided by Independent Registered Public Accountants
Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the terms of the engagement of PwC are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit and Risk Committee of Ameriprise Financial. All audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by PwC for ACC require pre-approval by the Audit and Risk Committee of Ameriprise Financial in accordance with pre-approval procedures established by the Audit and Risk Committee of Ameriprise Financial. The procedures require all proposed engagements of PwC for services to ACC of any kind to be directed to the General Auditor of Ameriprise Financial and then submitted for approval to the Audit and Risk Committee of Ameriprise Financial prior to the beginning of any services.
In addition, the charter of ACC’s Audit Committee requires pre-approval of any engagement, including the fees and other compensation, of PwC (1) to provide any services to ACC and prohibits the performance of certain specified non-audit services, and (2) to provide any non-audit services to Ameriprise Financial or any affiliate of Ameriprise Financial that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with Ameriprise Financial if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of ACC. Certain exceptions apply to the pre-approval requirement.
In both 2021 and 2020, 100% of the services provided by PwC for ACC were pre-approved by the Audit and Risk Committee of Ameriprise Financial and the Audit Committee of ACC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of Ameriprise Certificate Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and financial statement schedules, of Ameriprise Certificate Company and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Certain Level 2 and Level 3 Available-for-Sale Securities
As described in Notes 1, 3, and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2021, the total fair value of available-for-sale securities was $4,729 million, which includes $3,429 million of level 2 and level 3 securities. Management determines the fair value of available-for-sale securities based on quoted prices in active markets, when available. If quoted prices are not available, management obtains the fair value from either third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of certain level 2 and level 3 available-for-sale securities is a critical audit matter are (i) a high degree of auditor subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the valuation and (ii) the audit effort included the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of certain level 2 and level 3 available-for-sale securities. These procedures also included, among others (i) developing an independent range of prices for a sample of the securities by obtaining independent pricing from third party vendors, when available, and comparing management’s estimate to the independent range of prices to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimate, and/or (ii) for a sample of securities, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in developing an independent range of prices and comparing management’s estimate to the independently developed range, which involved independently developing assumptions based on available market inputs. The procedures also included testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management.

Ameriprise Certificate Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Nature of Business
Ameriprise Certificate Company (“ACC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise Financial” or the “Parent”). ACC is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and is in the business of issuing face-amount investment certificates. Face-amount certificates issued by ACC entitle the certificate owner to receive at maturity a stated amount of money and interest or credits declared from time to time by ACC, at its discretion. The certificates issued by ACC are not insured by any government agency or other entity. ACC’s certificates are distributed and sold solely by Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), an affiliate of ACC. AFS is registered as a broker-dealer in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
As of December 31, 2021, ACC offered four different certificate products to the public. ACC is impacted by significant changes in interest rates as interest crediting rates on certificate products generally reset at shorter intervals than the change in the yield on ACC’s investment portfolio. The specified maturities of most of ACC’s certificate products range from ten to twenty years. Within that maturity period, most certificates have interest crediting rate terms ranging from three to 48 months. Interest crediting rates are subject to change and certificate product owners can surrender their certificates without penalty at term’s end however; the Cash Reserve Certificate is a fully liquid product and can be surrendered at any time without penalty. In addition, two types of certificate products (only one currently sold) have interest tied, in whole or in part, to a broad-based stock market index. In general, ACC’s certificate products are available as qualified investments for Individual Retirement Accounts, 401(k) plans and other qualified retirement plans.
ACC evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. No subsequent events or transactions were identified.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). ACC uses the consolidation method of accounting for its wholly owned subsidiary, Investors Syndicate Development Corp.
In 2019, ACC recorded a $723 thousand decrease to net provision for certificate reserves for an out-of-period correction related to Stock Market Certificate (“SMC”) embedded derivatives. The impact to prior period financial statements was not material.
Prior to 2019, ACC had an agreement with Ameriprise Financial to settle with cash the change in its deferred federal income taxes on a quarterly basis. In 2019, it was determined that the cash settlements should have been reflected as a capital contribution for cash receipts from Ameriprise Financial and a dividend for cash payments to Ameriprise Financial. The deferred federal income taxes should have remained on ACC’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as the related assets and liabilities remained on ACC’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. ACC’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 was adjusted to reflect the cumulative amount of cash receipts from and cash payments to Ameriprise Financial for the settlement of deferred federal income taxes as contributions and dividends, respectively. The correction of the misclassification resulted in a $42.2 million increase to additional paid-in capital and a $42.2 million decrease to retained earnings as of December 31, 2019. ACC’s payment of $12.7 million to Ameriprise Financial in 2019 was reflected as a dividend and was included in the $42.2 million decrease to retained earnings. The impact to prior period financial statements was not material.
Amounts Based on Estimates and Assumptions
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In part, they are based upon assumptions concerning future events. Among the more significant are those that relate to investment securities valuation and the recognition of credit losses or impairments and income taxes and the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management and actual results could differ.
Interest Income
Interest income is accrued as earned using the effective interest method, which makes an adjustment of the yield for security premiums and discounts on all performing fixed maturity securities classified as Available-for-Sale so that the related security or loan recognizes a constant rate of return on the outstanding balance throughout its term. When actual prepayments differ significantly from originally anticipated prepayments, the retrospective effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and updated future payment assumptions and a catch-up adjustment is recorded in the current period. In addition, the new effective yield, which reflects anticipated future payments, is used prospectively. Realized gains and losses on securities are recognized using the specific identification method on a trade date basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
ACC has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less.
        F-9


Available-for-Sale Securities
Available-for-Sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of income taxes. Available-for-Sale securities are recorded within Investments in unaffiliated issuers. Gains and losses are recognized on a trade date basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon disposition of the securities.
Available-for-Sale securities are impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost. When an Available-for-Sale security is impaired, ACC first assesses whether or not: (i) it has the intent to sell the security (made a decision to sell) or (ii) it is more likely than not that ACC will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions exist, ACC recognizes an impairment by reducing the book value of the security for the difference between the investment’s amortized cost and its fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. Subsequent increases in the fair value of Available-for-Sale securities that occur in periods after a write-down has occurred are recorded as unrealized gains in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”), while subsequent decreases in fair value would continue to be recorded as reductions of book value with a charge to earnings.
For securities that do not meet the above criteria, ACC determines whether the decrease in fair value is due to a credit loss or due to other factors. The amount of impairment due to credit-related factors, if any, is recognized as an allowance for credit losses with a related charge to Net realized gain (loss) on investments. The allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds its fair value. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in OCI.
Factors ACC considers in determining whether declines in the fair value of fixed maturity securities are due to credit-related factors include: (i) the extent to which the market value is below amortized cost; (ii) fundamental analysis of the liquidity, business prospects and overall financial condition of the issuer; and (iii) market events that could impact credit ratings, economic and business climate, litigation and government actions, and similar external business factors.
If through subsequent evaluation there is a sustained increase in cash flows expected, both the allowance and related charge to earnings may be reversed to reflect the increase in expected principal and interest payments. However, for Available-for-Sale securities that recognized an impairment prior to January 1, 2020 by reducing the book value of the security, the difference between the new amortized cost basis and the improved cash flows expected to be collected is accreted as interest income.
In order to determine the amount of the credit loss component for corporate debt securities, a best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected discounted at the security’s effective interest rate is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. The significant inputs to cash flow projections consider potential debt restructuring terms, projected cash flows available to pay creditors and ACC’s position in the debtor’s overall capital structure. When assessing potential credit-related impairments for structured investments (e.g., residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities), ACC also considers credit-related factors such as overall deal structure and its position within the structure, quality of underlying collateral, delinquencies and defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments and cumulative loss projections.
Management has elected to exclude accrued interest in its measurement of the allowance for credit losses for Available-for-Sale securities. Accrued interest on Available-for-Sale securities is recorded as earned in Receivables. Available-for-Sale securities are placed on nonaccrual status when the accrued balance becomes 90 days past due or earlier based on management’s evaluation of the facts and circumstances of each security under review. All previously accrued interest is reversed through Investment income.
Equity Securities
Equity securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in Net realized gain (loss) on investments.
Financing Receivables
Commercial Loans
Commercial loans include commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans and are recorded at amortized cost less the allowance for credit losses. Commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans are recorded within Investments in unaffiliated issuers. Commercial mortgage loans are loans on commercial properties that are originated by ACC. Syndicated loans represent ACC’s investment in loan syndications originated by unrelated third parties.
Interest income is accrued as earned on the unpaid principal balances of the loans. Interest income recognized on commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans is recorded in Investment income.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected over the asset’s expected life, considering past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was based on an incurred loss model that did not require estimating expected credit losses over the expected life of the asset. Estimates of expected credit losses consider both historical charge-off and recovery experience as well as current economic conditions and management’s expectation of future charge-off and recovery levels. Expected losses related to risks other than credit risk are excluded from the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is measured and recorded upon initial recognition of the loan, regardless of whether it is originated or purchased.
F-10


The allowance for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans utilizes a probability of default and loss severity approach to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. Actual historical default and loss severity data for each type of commercial loan is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to develop the probability of default and loss severity assumptions that are applied to the amortized cost basis of the loans over the expected life of each portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans is recorded through provisions charged to Net realized gain (loss) on investments and is reduced/increased by net charge-offs/recoveries.
Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses based on the overall loan portfolio composition, recent and historical loss experience, and other pertinent factors, including when applicable, internal risk ratings, loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios, and occupancy rates, along with reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic and market conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, which may be susceptible to significant change. While ACC may attribute portions of the allowance to specific loan pools as part of the allowance estimation process, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses expected over the life of the loan portfolio.
Certificate Loans
Certificate loans are recorded within Investments in unaffiliated issuers. When originated, the loan balances do not exceed the cash surrender value of the underlying products. As there is minimal risk of loss related to certificate loans, ACC does not record an allowance for credit losses.
Interest income is accrued as earned on the unpaid principal balances of the loans. Interest income recognized on certificate loans is recorded in Investment income.
See Note 4 for additional information on financing receivables.
Nonaccrual Loans
Commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans are placed on nonaccrual status when either the collection of interest or principal has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful of collection. Interest payments received on loans on nonaccrual status are generally applied to principal unless the remaining principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible. Management has elected to exclude accrued interest in its measurement of the allowance for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans and syndicated loans.
Restructured Loans
A loan is classified as a restructured loan when ACC makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. When the interest rate, minimum payments, and/or due dates have been modified in an attempt to make the loan more affordable to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. Modifications to loan terms do not automatically result in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). Per the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus, modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic to borrowers who were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, such as payment deferrals, extensions of repayment terms, fee waivers, or delays in payment that are not significant to the unpaid principal value of the loan, are not considered TDRs. Generally, performance prior to the restructuring or significant events that coincide with the restructuring are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms which may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of the restructuring or after a performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains on nonaccrual status.
Charge-off and Foreclosure
Charge-offs are recorded when ACC concludes that all or a portion of the commercial mortgage loan or syndicated loan is uncollectible. Factors used by ACC to determine whether all amounts due on commercial mortgage loans will be collected, include but are not limited to, the financial condition of the borrower, performance of the underlying properties, collateral and/or guarantees on the loan, and the borrower’s estimated future ability to pay based on property type and geographic location. Factors used by ACC to determine whether all amounts due on syndicated loans will be collected, include but are not limited to, the borrower’s financial condition, industry outlook, and internal risk ratings based on rating agency data and internal analyst expectations.
If it is determined that foreclosure on a commercial mortgage loan is probable and the fair value is less than the current loan balance, expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the asset and fair value less estimated selling costs. Upon foreclosure, the commercial mortgage loan and related allowance are reversed, and the foreclosed property is recorded as real estate owned.
Certificate Reserves
Investment certificates may be purchased either with a lump-sum payment or by installment payments. Certificate product owners are entitled to receive, at maturity, a definite sum of money. Payments from certificate owners are credited to Certificate reserves. Investment certificate reserves accumulate interest at specified percentage rates as declared by ACC. Reserves also are maintained for advance payments made by certificate owners, accrued interest thereon, and for additional credits in excess of minimum guaranteed rates and accrued interest thereon. On certificates allowing for the deduction of a surrender charge, the cash surrender values may be
F-11


less than accumulated investment certificate reserves prior to maturity dates. Cash surrender values on certificates allowing for no surrender charge are equal to certificate reserves. The payment distribution, reserve accumulation rates, cash surrender values, reserve values and other matters are governed by the 1940 Act.
Certain certificates offer a return based on the relative change in a stock market index. The certificates with an equity-based return contain embedded derivatives, which are carried at fair value within Certificate reserves. The fair values of these embedded derivatives incorporate current market data inputs. Changes in fair value are reflected within Provision for certificate reserves.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Derivative instruments, consisting of options and futures contracts, if any, are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of ACC’s derivative instruments is determined using either market quotes or valuation models that are based upon the net present value of estimated future cash flows and incorporate current market observable inputs to the extent available. The accounting for the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on its intended use and the resulting hedge designation, if any. For derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as accounting hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in current period earnings. ACC’s policy is to not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives and collateral arrangements executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement.
Income Taxes
ACC’s taxable income is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Ameriprise Financial. ACC provides for income taxes on a separate return basis, except that, under an agreement between Ameriprise Financial and ACC, tax benefits are recognized for losses to the extent they can be used in the consolidated return. It is the policy of Ameriprise Financial that it will reimburse its subsidiaries for any tax benefits recorded.
ACC’s provision for income taxes represents the net amount of income taxes that ACC expects to pay or to receive from various taxing jurisdictions in connection with its operations. ACC provides for income taxes based on amounts that ACC believes it will ultimately owe taking into account the recognition and measurement for uncertain tax positions. Inherent in the provision for income taxes are estimates and judgments regarding the tax treatment of certain items.
In connection with the provision for income taxes, ACC’s Consolidated Financial Statements reflect certain amounts related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, which result from temporary differences between the assets and liabilities measured for financial statement purposes versus the assets and liabilities measured for tax return purposes.
ACC is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the deferred tax assets that management believes will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining if a valuation allowance should be established, and the amount of such allowance if required. Factors used in making this determination include estimates relating to the performance of the business. Consideration is given to, among other things in making this determination: (i) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (ii) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (iii) taxable income in prior carryback years; and (iv) tax planning strategies. Based on analysis of ACC’s tax positions, management believes it is more likely than not that ACC’s results of future operations and implementation of tax planning strategies will generate sufficient taxable income to enable ACC to utilize all of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been established as of December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting standards to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update eliminates certain exceptions to: (1) accounting principles related to intra-period tax allocation to be applied on a prospective basis, (2) deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption, and (3) year-to-date losses in interim periods to be applied on a prospective basis. The update also amends existing guidance related to situations when an entity receives: (1) a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill to be applied on a prospective basis, (2) an allocation of income tax expense when members of a consolidated tax filing group issue separate financial statements to be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented, (3) interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes to be applied on a prospective basis, and (4) franchise taxes and other taxes partially based on income to be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ACC adopted the standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard had no impact on ACC’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
F-12


Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform – Expedients for Contract Modifications
In March 2020, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging or other transactions that are affected by reference rate reform (i.e., the elimination of LIBOR). The following expedients are provided for modified contracts whose reference rate is changed: (1) receivables and debt contracts are accounted for prospectively by adjusting the effective interest rate, (2) leases are accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required, and (3) an entity is not required to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. The amendments in this update were effective upon issuance and must be elected prior to December 31, 2022. When elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions. In January 2021, FASB updated the standard to allow an entity to elect to apply the treatment under the original guidance to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting or contract price alignment that will be modified due to reference rate reform but did not qualify under the original guidance. The Company has not yet applied any of the optional expedients. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on ACC’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
2. Deposit of Assets and Maintenance of Qualified Assets
Under the provisions of its certificates and the 1940 Act, ACC was required to have cash and “qualified assets” (as defined in Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act, as modified by an exemptive order of the SEC) in the amount of $5.3 billion and $6.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. ACC reported Qualified Assets of $5.7 billion and $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Qualified Assets excluded net unrealized pretax gains on Available-for-Sale securities of $18.5 million and $40.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, Qualified Assets excluded payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of $7.9 million and $10.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Qualified Assets are valued in accordance with such provisions of Minnesota Statutes as are applicable to investments of life insurance companies. These values are the same as financial statement carrying values, except for debt securities classified as Available-for-Sale and all marketable equity securities, which are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Financial Statements but are valued at either amortized cost, market value or par value based on the state requirements for qualified asset and deposit maintenance purposes.
Pursuant to provisions of the certificates, the 1940 Act, the Depository and Custodial Agreement and requirements of various states, Qualified Assets of ACC were deposited as follows:

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, investment securities with a fair value of $66 thousand and $242 thousand, respectively, were pledged to meet contractual obligations under derivative contracts.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 84% and 88%, respectively, of ACC’s total investments. Rating agency designations are based on the availability of ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”), including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). ACC uses the median of available ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, or if fewer than three ratings are available, the lower rating is used. When ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch are unavailable, as is the case for many private placement securities, ACC may utilize ratings from other NRSROs or rate the securities internally. As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, no securities were internally rated by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“CMIA”), an affiliate of ACC.

As part of ACC’s ongoing monitoring process, management determined that the change in gross unrealized losses on its Available-for-Sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to tightening of credit spreads. ACC did not recognize these unrealized losses in earnings because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. ACC does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe that it is more likely than not that ACC will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 97% and 96%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade.
There were no amounts recognized in the allowance for credit losses on Available-for-Sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, accrued interest on commercial loans was $0.9 million and $1.0 million , respectively, and is recorded in receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and excluded from the amortized cost basis of commercial loans.
Purchases and Sales
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, ACC purchased $11.2 million, $33.1 million and $40.3 million, respectively, of syndicated loans and sold $13.7 million, $4.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of syndicated loans.
ACC has not acquired any loans with deteriorated credit quality as of the acquisition date.
Credit Quality Information
Nonperforming loans were $1.1 million and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All other loans were considered to be performing.
Commercial Loans
Commercial Mortgage Loans
ACC reviews the credit worthiness of the borrower and the performance of the underlying properties in order to determine the risk of loss on commercial mortgage loans. Loan-to-value ratio is the primary credit quality indicator included in this review.
Based on this review, the commercial mortgage loans are assigned an internal risk rating, which management updates when credit risk changes. Commercial mortgage loans which management has assigned its highest risk rating were nil as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Loans with the highest risk rating represent distressed loans which ACC has identified as impaired or expects to become delinquent or enter into foreclosure within the next six months. Total commercial mortgage loan modifications in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic consisted of five loans with a total unpaid balance of $8.9 million. Modifications primarily consisted of short-term forbearance and interest only payments. As of December 31, 2020, all loans had returned to their normal payment schedules. There were no modifications due to COVID-19 during the year ended December 31, 2021. Total commercial mortgage loans past due were nil as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020.

(1) There is no minimum rate of accrual on these reserves. Interest is declared periodically, quarterly, or annually in accordance with the terms of the separate series of certificates.
(2) Ameriprise Stock Market Certificate and Ameriprise Market Strategy Certificate enable the certificate owner to participate in any relative rise in a major stock market index up to a cap without risking loss of principal. The certificates have market participation terms of 52, 104 or 156 weeks and may continue for up to 15 years. The reserve balances on these certificates as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $290.4 million and $397.1 million, respectively.
(3) The average gross accumulation rate is the additional credit rate plus the guaranteed minimum rate, if applicable, based on the weighted-average reserves as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(4) The average additional credit rate is the declared interest rate in excess of the guaranteed minimum rate, if applicable, based on the weighted-average reserves as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
On certain series of single payment certificates, additional interest is pre-declared for periods greater than one year. The retained earnings appropriated for the pre-declared additional interest as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was nil and $21 thousand, respectively, which reflects the difference between certificate reserves on these series, calculated on a statutory basis, and the reserves maintained per books.

6. Regulation and Dividend Restrictions
ACC is required to maintain cash and “qualified assets” meeting the standards of Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act, as modified by an exemptive order of the SEC. The amortized cost of such investments must be at least equal to ACC’s net liabilities on all outstanding face-amount certificates plus $250,000. ACC’s qualified assets consist of cash equivalents, syndicated loans, commercial mortgage loans, U.S. government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, equity securities, equity index options and other securities meeting specified standards. So long as ACC wishes to rely on the SEC order, as a condition to the order, ACC has agreed to maintain an amount of unappropriated retained earnings and capital equal to at least 5% of certificate reserves (less outstanding certificate loans). To the extent that payment of a dividend would decrease the capital ratio below the required 5%, payment of a dividend would be restricted. In determining compliance with this condition, qualified assets are valued in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes where such provisions are applicable.
ACC has also entered into a written understanding with the Minnesota Department of Commerce that ACC will maintain capital equal to at least 5% of the assets of ACC (less outstanding certificate loans). To the extent that payment of a dividend would decrease this ratio below the required 5%, payment of a dividend would be restricted. When computing its capital for these purposes, ACC values its assets on the basis of statutory accounting for insurance companies rather than GAAP. ACC is subject to examination and supervision by the Minnesota Department of Commerce (Banking Division). ACC was in compliance with the capital requirements of the SEC and the Minnesota Department of Commerce during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Ameriprise Financial and ACC entered into a Capital Support Agreement on March 2, 2009, pursuant to which Ameriprise Financial agrees to commit such capital to ACC as is necessary to satisfy applicable minimum capital requirements. Effective April 30, 2014, this agreement was amended to revise the maximum commitment to $50.0 million. For both years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Ameriprise Financial did not infuse any additional capital into ACC under this agreement.
7. Related Party Transactions
Distribution Services
Distribution fees payable to AFS on sales of ACC’s certificates are based upon terms of agreements giving AFS the right to distribute the certificates covered under the agreements. The agreements provide for payment of fees over a period of time.
The following is a general description of the basis for determining distribution fees for ACC’s products:
Ameriprise Cash Reserve Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.02% of the initial payment on the issue date of the certificate and 0.02% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the second and subsequent quarters from issue date.
Ameriprise Flexible Savings Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.04% of the initial investment amount on the first day of the certificate’s term and 0.04% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the second and subsequent quarters from issue date or at the end of the renewal grace period when the renewal corresponds with the quarterly reserve payment for all terms except seven and thirteen months. For seven month terms, Ameriprise Flexible Savings Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.04% of the initial investment amount on the first day of the certificate’s term, 0.04% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the second quarter from issue date and 0.014% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the last month of the certificate term. For thirteen month terms, Ameriprise Flexible Savings Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.04% of the initial investment amount on the first day of the certificate’s term, 0.04% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the second, third and fourth quarters from issue date and 0.014% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the last month of the certificate term.
Ameriprise Stock Market Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.16%, 0.32% and 0.48% for the 52, 104 and 156 week terms, respectively, of each payment made prior to the beginning of the first certificate’s participation term and of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of each subsequent participation term.
Ameriprise Market Strategy Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.16% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of each participation term.
F-21


Ameriprise Installment Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.25% of all payments received on or after issue of the certificate until the certificate’s maturity date.
Ameriprise Step-Up Rate Certificates have contractual distribution fee rates of 0.04% of the initial investment amount on the first day of the certificate’s term and 0.04% of the certificate’s reserve at the beginning of the second and subsequent quarters from issue date or at the end of the renewal grace period when the renewal corresponds with the quarterly reserve payment.
Investment Advisory and Services
CMIA provides investment advice, operational support and other administrative services to ACC. The agreement provides for a graduated scale of fees equal on an annual basis to 0.35% on the first $250 million of net invested assets of ACC (as defined in the agreement), 0.30% on the next $250 million, 0.25% on the next $500 million and 0.20% on the amount in excess of $1 billion. The fee is payable monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of each of the percentages set forth above.
The fee paid to CMIA for managing and servicing syndicated loans, which are excluded from the computation of net invested assets above, is equal to 0.35%. The fee is payable monthly and is equal to one-twelfth of 0.35%, computed each month on the basis of the loans amortized cost less the allowance for loan losses and payable for loans purchased as of the close of business on the last full business day of the preceding month.
Transfer Agent Fees
The basis of computing transfer agent fees paid or payable to Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (“CMIS”) is under a Transfer Agent Agreement to maintain certificate owner accounts and records. ACC pays CMIS a monthly fee of one-twelfth of $30.00 per certificate account for this service in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses.
Depository Fees
ATC has an agreement with a subcustodian to provide depository services for ACC’s assets. The depository fees paid to ATC are asset-based with additional charges for transactional custody fees charged by the subcustodian.
ACC’s fees payable for distribution, investment advisory, transfer agent and depository services are included in Due to related party. The fees ACC incurred for these services are included in Ameriprise Financial and affiliated company fees.
Dividends and Contributions
ACC received cash contributions of nil and $10.0 million from Ameriprise Financial during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. ACC received these contributions to maintain compliance with capital requirements and these contributions were outside of the Capital Support Agreement between Ameriprise Financial and ACC. See Note 6 for additional information on the Capital Support Agreement.
ACC paid dividends of $70.0 million and $82.0 million to Ameriprise Financial during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
ACC returned contributed capital of $39.0 million and nil to Ameriprise Financial during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The payment to Ameriprise Financial was recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital as it was in excess of the amount of unappropriated retained earnings available to be paid as a dividend.
8. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability is not exchanged subject to a forced liquidation or distressed sale.
Valuation Hierarchy
ACC categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by ACC’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1    Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2    Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3    Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Securities transferred from Level 3 primarily represent securities with fair values that are obtained from a third-party pricing service with observable inputs. Securities transferred to Level 3 represent securities with fair values that are now based on a single non-binding broker quote.
The following tables provide a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements developed by ACC or reasonably available to ACC of Level 3 assets:

The weighted average for the spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities.
Level 3 measurements not included in the table above are obtained from non-binding broker quotes where unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value calculation are not reasonably available to ACC.
Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements
Significant increases (decreases) in the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 corporate debt securities in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Determination of Fair Value
ACC uses valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. ACC’s market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. ACC’s income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future projected cash flows to a single discounted present value amount. When applying either approach, ACC maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.
Assets
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include time deposits and other highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less. ACC’s cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected realization.
Available-for-Sale and Equity Securities
When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques.
Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasuries.
Level 2 securities include residential mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, state and municipal obligations and equity securities. The fair value of these Level 2 securities is based on a market approach with prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Observable inputs used to value these securities can include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads and non-binding broker quotes.
Level 3 securities include certain non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, asset backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and equity securities with fair value typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The underlying inputs used for some of the non-binding broker quotes are not readily available to ACC. ACC’s privately placed corporate bonds are typically based on a single non-binding broker quote.
In consideration of the above, management is responsible for the fair values recorded on the financial statements. Prices received from third-party pricing services are subjected to exception reporting that identifies investments with significant daily price movements as well as no movements. ACC reviews the exception reporting and resolves the exceptions through reaffirmation of the price or
F-25


recording an appropriate fair value estimate. ACC also performs subsequent transaction testing. ACC performs annual due diligence of third-party pricing services. ACC’s due diligence procedures include assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset-class specific valuation methodologies, and understanding of sources of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. ACC also considers the results of its exception reporting controls and any resulting price challenges that arise.
Derivatives
Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include options. The counterparties’ nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative assets was immaterial as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. See Note 9 and Note 10 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral.
Liabilities
Stock Market Certificate Embedded Derivatives
ACC uses various Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative liability associated with the provisions of its stock market certificates. The inputs to these calculations are primarily market observable and include interest rates, volatilities, and equity index levels. As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 2.
Derivatives
Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active OTC markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include options. The Company’s nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative liabilities was immaterial as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. See Note 9 and Note 10 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral.
Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
During the reporting periods, there were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

9. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Certain derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ACC’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting and collateral arrangements and qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. ACC’s policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following tables present the gross and net information about ACC’s assets subject to master netting arrangements:

In the tables above, the amount of assets or liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are offset first by financial instruments that have the right of offset under master netting or similar arrangements, then any remaining amount is reduced by the amount of cash and securities collateral. The actual collateral may be greater than amounts presented in the tables.
When the fair value of collateral accepted by ACC is less than the amount due to ACC, there is a risk of loss if the counterparty fails to perform or provide additional collateral. To mitigate this risk, ACC monitors collateral values regularly and requires additional
F-27


collateral when necessary. When the value of collateral pledged by ACC declines, it may be required to post additional collateral.
Cash collateral accepted by ACC is reflected in Other liabilities. See Note 10 for additional disclosures related to ACC’s derivative instruments.
10. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Derivative instruments enable ACC to manage its exposure to various market risks. The value of such instruments is derived from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including equity and interest rate indices or prices. ACC primarily enters into derivative agreements for risk management purposes related to ACC’s products.
ACC uses derivatives as economic hedges of equity risk related to Stock Market Certificates (“SMC”). ACC does not designate any derivatives for hedge accounting. The following table presents the notional value and the gross fair value of derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives:

Ameriprise SMC offers a return based upon the relative change in a major stock market index between the beginning and end of the certificate’s term. The SMC product contains an embedded derivative. The equity based return of the certificate must be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. As a result of fluctuations in equity markets, and the corresponding changes in value of the embedded derivative, the amount of expenses incurred by ACC related to the SMC product will positively or negatively impact reported earnings. As a means of hedging its obligations under the provisions for these certificates, ACC purchases and writes call options on the S&P 500® Index. ACC views this strategy as a prudent management of equity market sensitivity, such that earnings are not exposed to undue risk presented by changes in equity market levels. ACC also purchases futures on the S&P 500® Index to economically hedge its obligations. The futures are marked-to-market daily and exchange traded, exposing ACC to minimal counterparty risk.
Ameriprise Step-Up Rate Certificates (“SRC”) offer the ability to step up to a higher crediting rate based upon the then-current rate for a new SRC with the same term. The SRC was closed to new sales effective April 1, 2020. ACC does not currently hedge the interest rate risk related to the SRC product. The SRC product contains an embedded derivative, which was not material as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Credit Risk
Credit risk associated with ACC’s derivatives is the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable derivative contract. To mitigate such risk, ACC has established guidelines and oversight of credit risk through a comprehensive enterprise risk management program that includes members of senior management. Key components of this program
F-28


are to require preapproval of counterparties and the use of master netting and collateral arrangements whenever practical. See Note 9 for additional information on ACC’s credit exposure related to derivative assets.

In June 2019, ACC terminated its agreement with Ameriprise Financial to settle with cash the change in its deferred federal income taxes on a quarterly basis. The final settlement was paid during the second quarter of 2019 and effectively repaid all previous deferred federal income tax settlements that ACC had received. During the year ended December 31, 2019, ACC paid Ameriprise Financial $12.7 million for the settlement of deferred federal income taxes.
F-29


Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the assets and liabilities measured for GAAP reporting versus income tax return purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the statutory rate of 21% as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020. The significant components of ACC’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are included in Deferred taxes, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were as follows:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

If recognized, approximately $3.0 million, $2.8 million and $3.0 million, net of federal tax benefits, of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, would affect the effective tax rate.
It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months. ACC estimates that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $1.8 million in the next 12 months primarily due to state exams.
ACC recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision. ACC recognized increases of $102 thousand, $133 thousand and $156 thousand for interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, ACC had a payable of $615 thousand and $513 thousand, respectively, related to accrued interest and penalties.
ACC files income tax returns as part of its inclusion in the consolidated federal income tax returns of Ameriprise Financial in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations are closed on years through 2015, except for one issue for 2014 and 2015 which was claimed on amended returns. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently auditing Ameriprise Financial’s U.S. income tax returns for 2016 through 2020. Ameriprise Financial’s or its subsidiaries’, including ACC’s, state income tax returns are currently under examination by various jurisdictions for years ranging from 2015 through 2019.
13. Contingencies
The level of regulatory activity and inquiry in the financial services industry remains elevated. From time to time, ACC receives requests for information from, and/or has been subject to examination by, both the SEC and the Minnesota Department of Commerce concerning its business activities and practices.
ACC may in the normal course of business be a party to legal, regulatory or arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business activities. The outcome of any such proceeding cannot be predicted with any certainty. ACC believes that it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal, regulatory or arbitration proceedings that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on ACC’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that the outcome of any such legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings could have a material impact on ACC’s results of operations in any particular reporting period as the proceedings are resolved.

a) Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Fixed maturities and common stocks are carried at fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, fair values are obtained from third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes or other model-based valuation techniques. Syndicated loans are carried at amortized cost, less allowance for loan losses. Derivatives are carried at fair value. Options are traded in over-the-counter markets using pricing models with market observable inputs. Futures are exchange-traded and valued using quoted prices in active markets. See notes to the financial statements regarding valuations.
b) For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments is $5.5 billion.
c) Securities written down due to other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses.
d) Non-Income producing securities.

NOTES
a) Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Fixed maturities and equity securities are carried at fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, fair values are obtained from third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes or other model-based valuation techniques. Syndicated loans are carried at amortized cost, less allowance for loan losses. Derivatives are carried at fair value. Options are traded in over-the-counter markets using pricing models with market observable inputs. Futures are exchange-traded and valued using quoted prices in active markets. See notes to the financial statements regarding valuations.
b) For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments is $7.0 billion.
c) Securities written down due to other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses (pre-2020 GAAP accounting guidance). No credit losses have occurred under the new Financial Instruments Credit Losses guidance that was effective January 1, 2020.
d) Non-Income producing securities.

(a) The classification “residential” includes single dwellings only. Residential multiple dwellings are included in “apartment and business”.
(b) Real estate taxes and easements, which in the opinion of ACC are not undue burden on the properties, have been excluded from the determination of “prior liens”.
(c) In this Schedule III, carrying amount of mortgage loans represents unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums less unamortized discounts and allowance for credit losses.
(d) Interest in arrears for less than three months has been disregarded in computing the total amount of principal subject to delinquent interest. The amounts of mortgage loans being foreclosed are also included in amounts subject to delinquent interest.
(e) Information as to interest income by type and class of loan has been omitted because it is not readily available and the obtaining thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense. In lieu thereof, the average gross interest rates (exclusive of amortization of discounts and premiums) on mortgage loans held as of December 31, 2021 are shown by type and class of loan.
