The information in this Supplement modifies certain information contained in the above referenced prospectus (the “Prospectus”) issued by RiverSource Life insurance Company for contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023. This information in this Supplement does not modify any information for contracts with application dates prior to April 24, 2023.
Please read it carefully and keep it with your Prospectus for future reference. This Supplement incorporates the Prospectus by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all other information included in your Prospectus remains unchanged. The terms we use in this Supplement have the same meaning as in your Prospectus.

The purpose of this Supplement is to provide you with information regarding how the Segment Value will be calculated for contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023. The Segment Value will be calculated using a new formula for the Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets component. The new Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets formula is reflected in Appendix G herein. For additional details, see also the “Indexed Account(s) Value – Segment Value after the Segment start date and before the Segment Maturity Date” section of the prospectus.

I. In the “Indexed Account(s) Value – Segment Value after the Segment start date and before the Segment Maturity Date” section of the prospectus, starting on page 30 we add the following at the end:

For information on how We determine the proxy value, including how We determine the Hypothetical Value of Derivatives, Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets and Present Value of Annual Fees, for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023, see Appendix G. For examples of how the Investment Base is impacted by a partial surrender, see Appendix D.

For examples of the Segment Value calculation for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023, see Appendix H.

II. For contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023, additional proxy value details are stated in the new “Appendix G: Additional Proxy Value Details (for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023)”:

Appendix G: Additional Proxy Value Details (for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023)

The proxy value for the portfolio of assets is a factor equal to the sum of (1) the Hypothetical Value of Derivatives plus (2) the Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets less (3) the Present Value of Annual Fees (applicable only for Segments with an Annual Fee). Descriptions of how We determine the Hypothetical Value of Derivatives, Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets and Present Value of Annual Fees are set forth below.

(1) Hypothetical Value of Derivatives.

At the start of each Segment, a hypothetical portfolio of options is created and tracked which replicates the applicable Cap or Contingent Yield and applicable Buffer, Floor, or Trigger. The Hypothetical Value of Derivatives is equal to the estimated exit value of this hypothetical portfolio.

For Segments that do not have an annual lock, the following options will be used, each of which will be valued using an option pricing formula:

(A)

At-the-Money Call: This represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the percentage growth in the Index during the Segment.

(B)

Out-of-the-Money Call: This represents the market value of the potential for gain in excess of the Cap (if applicable).

(C)

At-the-Money Put: If the Segment has a floor, this represents the market value of the potential for losses that may occur in the Segment. This option is not used if the Segment has a Buffer.

(D)

Out-of-the-Money Put: This represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the excess loss beyond the applicable Buffer, Floor or Trigger.

(E)

Out-of-the-Money Binary Put: This represents the market value of the potential to receive a fixed amount whenever losses are beyond the applicable Buffer or Trigger.

For Segments with a Cap and a Buffer:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Upside Participation Rate * (A – B) – D.

1

For Segments with a Buffer and no declared Cap:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Upside Participation Rate * A – D.

For Segments with a Cap and a Floor:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Upside Participation Rate * (A – B) – C + D.

For Segments with a Floor and with no declared Cap:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Upside Participation Rate * A – C + D.

For Segments with a Contingent Yield and Buffer:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Present value of Contingent Yield(1) – Contingent Yield * E – D

For Segments with a Contingent Yield and a Trigger:

Hypothetical Value of Derivatives = Present value of Contingent Yield(1)– (Contingent Yield – Trigger) * E – D

For Segments with an Annual Lock, We designate and value a replicating derivative structure which is tied to the compounded performance for each year of the Annual Lock.

The following market inputs will be used:

Implied Volatility: This input will vary by the time to the Segment Maturity Date and moneyness (a measure of the difference between an option’s strike price and the current Index value). Linear interpolation between available market inputs will be used to approximate the volatility for a particular option.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: This input will vary by the time to the Segment Maturity Date. Linear interpolation will be used to approximate the risk-free rate for a particular option.

Index Forward: This input is the cost of delivering the Index at a specified date in the future. This cost is driven by current interest rates and projected dividend rates. It will vary by the time to the Segment Maturity Date. Linear interpolation will be used to approximate the forward used for a particular option.

If these market inputs are not available for a Business Day, the market inputs will be based on the prior Business Day’s values.

Additionally, the Hypothetical Value of Derivatives will be adjusted for the potential transaction costs of exiting derivative positions before the Segment Maturity Date. This adjustment may result in a lower Segment Value and helps protect us from the trading risks that may arise when exiting derivative positions.

(1)The "present value of Contingent Yield" is calculated by discounting the Contingent Yield from the Segment Maturity Date to the current date at a risk-free interest rate.

(2) Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets.

The Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets is calculated as follows: 

1	*Rate Adjustment
(1 + Initial Value)M

Where: 

Initial Value	=	A value calculated so Your Segment Value on the Segment start date, prior to any adjustment for exit costs made to the Hypothetical Value of Derivatives, will be equal to Your Investment Base. The Initial Value will not change during the Segment.
M	=	The number of full and partial years remaining in Your Segment
Rate Adjustment	=	An estimate of the change in fixed asset values that has occurred since the start of Your Segment.

The Rate Adjustment is equal to: 

(	1 + Reference Rate as of the Segment Start Date	)	Rate Adjustment Tenor
	1 + Reference Rate as of the current date

Where:

Rate Adjustment Tenor = Segment Duration*(M/Segment Duration)Rate Adjustment Exponent

Segment Duration = The initial length of the segment in years

Reference Rate = A rate representing current yields. Currently we are using the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Index – Yield to Worst rate. We may change the external index being used at any time.

Rate Adjustment Exponent = The current value is 0.5. We may change this value for new segments between the values of 0.2 and 1.

III. Examples of the Segment Value Calculation for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023, are stated in the new Appendix H: Examples – Segment Value Calculation (for Contracts with application dates on or after April, 24, 2023)”:

Appendix H: Examples – Segment Value Calculation (for Contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023)

The following pages contain hypothetical examples showing the calculation of Segment Values after the Segment start date and before the Segment Maturity Date. Each example also demonstrates the effect of a partial surrender. The examples are calculated across four different hypothetical Index return scenarios: 10%, -10%, 30%, and -30% with a stated interest rate assumption. In addition to the Segment Value, a hypothetical investment with Index returns is shown for comparison purposes.

For each Segment, the Segment Value is reduced by the dollar amount of the surrender and the Investment Base will be reduced proportionally based on the percentage of Segment Value that is withdrawn. If at the time of surrender the Segment Value is less than the Investment Base, the Investment Base will be reduced by an amount greater than the dollar amount of the partial surrender. If at the time of surrender the Segment Value is greater than the Investment Base, the Investment Base will be reduced by an amount less than the dollar amount of the partial surrender. The reduced Investment Base will impact all future daily Segment Values including the Segment Value on the Segment Maturity Date.

Examples 1 through 4 use the Point-to-Point with a Cap and Buffer Crediting Method.

Example 5 uses the Point-to-Point with an Annual Fee and Buffer Crediting Method.

Example 6 uses the Annual Lock with a Buffer Crediting Method.

Example 7 uses the Point-to-Point with a Contingent Yield and Buffer Crediting Method.

Example 8 uses the Point-to-Point with a Contingent Yield and Trigger Crediting Method.

You generally will not receive the full protection of the Buffer, Floor or Trigger prior to Segment maturity. It is possible that You would see no protection from the Buffer or Floor until Segment maturity. It is also possible that you would see no protection from the Trigger during a Segment and at Segment Maturity. As a Segment moves closer to maturity, the Segment Value would generally reflect a larger portion of the Buffer or Floor protection. To the extent there is any protection from the Buffer, Floor, or Trigger during a Segment, it is reflected in the proxy value.

Note all components of the proxy value are stated as a percent for consistency.

The examples use hypothetical values and are not necessarily indicative of actual results. Segmentreturns will vary over the course of a Segment. Segments with longer durations may be more likely to reflect hypothetical index return assumptions.

All partial surrenders are assumed to include any applicable Surrender Charges.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The amended and restated By-Laws of the depositor provide that the depositor will indemnify, to the fullest extent now or hereafter provided for or permitted by law, each person involved in, or made or threatened to be made a party to, any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, including any investigative, administrative, legislative, or other proceeding, and including any action by or in the right of the depositor or any other corporation, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise (any such entity, other than the depositor, being hereinafter referred to as an “Enterprise”), and including appeals therein (any such action or process being hereinafter referred to as a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, such person’s testator or intestate (i) is or was a director or officer of the depositor, or (ii) is or was serving, at the request of the depositor, as a director, officer, or in any other capacity, or any other Enterprise, against any and all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred as a result of or in connection with any Proceeding, except as provided below.

No indemnification will be made to or on behalf of any such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that such person’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that such person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled. In addition, no indemnification will be made with respect to any Proceeding initiated by any such person against the depositor, or a director or officer of the depositor, other than to enforce the terms of this indemnification provision, unless such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the depositor. Further, no indemnification will be made with respect to any settlement or compromise of any Proceeding unless and until the depositor has consented to such settlement or compromise.

The depositor may, from time to time, with the approval of the Board of Directors, and to the extent authorized, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the depositor or to any person serving at the request of the depositor as a director or officer, or in any other capacity, of any other Enterprise, to the fullest extent of the provisions with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the depositor.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the depositor or the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:

Post-Effective Amendment No.2 on Form S-3 
File number 333-265678
RiverSource Structured SolutionsSM Annuity

Gentlemen:

I am familiar with the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by RiverSource Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Individual Limited Flexible Purchase Payments Deferred Index-Linked Annuity interests offered in connection with the above-referenced annuity contract.

I have made such examination of law and examined such documents and records as in my judgment are necessary and appropriate to enable me to give the following opinion:

1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under applicable state law and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where it transacts business. The Company has all corporate powers required to carry on its business and to issue the Individual Limited Flexible Purchase Payments Deferred Index-Linked Annuity interests.

2. The Individual Limited Flexible Purchase Payments Deferred Index-Linked Annuity interests issued by the Company, when offered and sold in accordance with the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and in compliance with applicable law, will be legally issued and represent binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Sincerely, 

/s/ Nicole D. Wood

RE:

RiverSource Life Insurance Company (“Registrant”)
Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-3
File No. 333-265678
RiverSource Structured SolutionsSM Annuity

Dear Mr. Cowan:

Registrant is filing Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-3 (the “Amendment”) to supplement the prospectus for the RiverSource® Structured SolutionsSM annuity.

The purpose of this supplement is to include a new Hypothetical Value of Fixed Assets formula that will be applied to contracts with application dates on or after April 24, 2023, to incorporate revisions made in response to staff’s comments and update exhibits required by Form S-3.

The Registration Statement carries forward the unsold interests currently registered on registration statements on Form S-3 File Nos. 333-238470 and 333-232973 (the “Prior Registration Statements”) pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the 1933 Act.

Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registrant respectfully requests acceleration of the effective date of this Registration Statement to April 24, 2023, or as soon as practicable thereafter. On behalf of RiverSource Distributors, Inc., the Principal Underwriter for the Account, we are forwarding with this letter a request for acceleration of the effective date of this Registration Statement.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this filing, please contact me at (612) 678-5337 or Boba Selimovic at (612) 671-7449.

Very truly yours,
