Are There Charges
or Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
Yes
. A positive or negative MVA is assessed if any portion of a
GPA
is
surrendered or transferred more than thirty days before the end of its
guarantee period.
You could lose up to
100
% of the amount withdrawn from
a
GPA
as a result of a negative MVA.
For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a GPA with a 3-year guarantee
period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have
ended, you could lose up to $
100,000
of your investment. This loss will be
greater if you also have to pay taxes and tax penalties.
The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to
as “early surrenders,” are subject to an MVA when they occur more than
30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period, unless an exception 
applies: (i) surrenders (including full and partial surrenders, systematic
withdrawals, and required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and
(iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of the
death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease
it.

Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
No.

Surrenders from a
GPA
prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee
period may also result in a negative MVA. During the 30-day period
ending on the last day of the guarantee period, you may choose to start
a new guarantee period of the same length, transfer the
certificate
account value from the current
GPA
to any of the investment options
available under the
Certificate
, apply the
certificate
account value to an
annuity payout plan, or surrender the value from the current
GPA
(all
subject to applicable surrender, transfer, and annuitization provisions).
If
we do not receive any instructions by the end of the guarantee period, we
will automatically transfer the
certificate
account value from the current
GPA
into the shortest
GPA
term available.

Examples
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in a
certificate
account with the
cost
of
investing in other variable annuity
contracts
. These costs include Annual
Contract
Expenses and Annual Fund
expenses.
The examples assume all certificate account value is allocated to the subaccounts. The examples do not reflect the
MVA that only applies to GPAs. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the GPAs or fixed
account investment options.
These examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the
certificate
account for the time periods indicated. These
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year. The “Maximum” example further assumes
the most expensive combination of Annual
Contract
Expenses and Annual Fund Expenses. The “Minimum” example
further assumes the least expensive combination of Annual
Contract
Expenses and Annual Fund Expenses. Although

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
Principal Risks of Investing in the
Contract
and
Certificate
Risk of Loss.
Variable annuities involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Your losses could be significant. This
certificate is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank. This certificate is not federally
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.
Short-Term Investment Risk.
This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income mean that this contract is
more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.
Withdrawal Risk.
You should carefully consider the risks associated with withdrawals under the contract. If you make a
withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax.
A positive or
negative MVA is assessed if any portion of a Guarantee Period Account is surrendered or transferred more than thirty
days before the end of its guarantee period. You could lose up to 100% of your investment in a GPA as a result of a
negative MVA. 
A withdrawal may reduce the value of your death benefit. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the
termination of your certificate.
Subaccount Risk.
Amounts that you invest in the subaccounts are subject to the risk of poor investment performance.
You assume the investment risk. Generally, if the subaccounts that you select make money, your
certificate account
value goes up, and if they lose money, your certificate account value goes down. Each subaccount’s performance
depends on the performance of its underlying Fund. Each underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are
exposed to the Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a subaccount.
You are responsible for selecting subaccounts
that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk
tolerance. For risks associated with any Fixed Account options, see Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk
below.
GPA Risk.
Each GPA pays an interest rate declared by us when you make an allocation to that account and is fixed for
the guarantee period you choose. We will periodically change the declared interest rate for future allocations to these
accounts at our discretion based, in part, on various factors including, but not limited to, the interest rate environment,
returns earned on investments backing these annuities, the rates currently in effect for new and existing RiverSource
Life annuities, product design, competition, and RiverSource Life's revenues and expenses. 
We guarantee the certificate account value allocated to the GPAs, including interest credited, if you do not make any
transfers or surrenders from the GPA prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee period. At all other times, and
unless an exception applies, we will apply a MVA if you surrender or transfer certificate account value from a GPA or you
elect an annuity payout plan while you have certificate account value invested in a GPA. The MVA may be negative,
positive or result in no change depending on how the guaranteed interest rate on your GPA compares to the new interest
rate of a new GPA for the same number of years as the guarantee period remaining on your GPA. You bear the risk of
loss of principal due to a negative MVA. Partial surrenders will reduce certain death benefits proportionally based on the
percentage of certificate account value that is withdrawn and if you request a partial surrender from the GPAs that will
give you the net amount you requested after we apply any applicable MVA and certificate administrative charge, a
negative MVA will increase the impact of the partial surrender on the value of the death benefit.
Managed Volatility Fund Risk.
The Portfolio Stabilizer funds are managed volatility funds that employ a strategy
designed to reduce overall volatility and downside risk. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial
risks associated with the certificate’s guarantees, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes including
the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity
markets, which may limit the potential growth of your certificate account value and may therefore conflict with your
personal investment objectives. Certain Funds advised by our affiliate, Columbia Management, employ such risk
management strategies. Costs associated with running a managed volatility strategy may also adversely impact the
performance of managed volatility funds.
Purchase Payment Risk.
Your ability to make subsequent purchase payments is subject to restrictions. Also, our prior
approval may be required before accepting certain purchase payments. We reserve the right to limit certain annuity
features (for example, investment options) if prior approval is required. There is no guarantee that you will always be
permitted to make purchase payments.
Certificate Changes Risk.
We reserve the right to make certain changes in the future, subject to applicable law. During
the annuity payout period, we reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts in which you may invest. We reserve
the right to add, remove or substitute approved investment options at any time and in our sole discretion. We reserve
the right to close or restrict approved investment options in our sole discretion.
Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk.
All guarantees under the contract and certificate that are paid from
our general account (including under any Fixed Account option) are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying
ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.
Cybersecurity Risk.
Increasingly, businesses are dependent on the continuity, security, and effective operation of
various technology systems. The nature of our business depends on the continued effective operation of our systems
and those of our business partners.
This dependence makes us susceptible to operational and information security risks from cyber-attacks. These risks
may include the following:
•
the corruption or destruction of data;
•
theft, misuse or dissemination of data to the public, including your information we hold; and
•
denial of service attacks on our website or other forms of attacks on our systems and the software and hardware we
use to run them.
These attacks and their consequences can negatively impact your contract, your privacy, your ability to conduct
transactions on your contract, or your ability to receive timely service from us.
The risk of cyberattacks may be higher
during periods of geopolitical turmoil. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying funds in your contract, or our
other business partners will avoid losses affecting your contract due to any successful cyber-attacks or information
security breaches.
Potential Adverse Tax Consequences.
Tax considerations vary by individual facts and circumstances. Tax rules may
change without notice. Generally, Earnings under your contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn.
You may have to pay a tax penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59 ½. If you purchase a qualified annuity to fund
a retirement plan that is tax-deferred, your contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral beyond what
is provided in that retirement plan. Consult a tax professional.

Alternatively, you may allocate your purchase payment to any combination of the following which equals one hundred
percent of the amount you invest:
•
the Special DCA fixed account for a six month term;
•
the Special DCA fixed account for a twelve month term;
•
the GPAs and/or the subaccounts, subject to investment minimums and other restrictions we may impose on
investments in the GPAs.
Once you establish a Special DCA fixed account, you cannot allocate additional purchase payments to it. However, you
may establish another Special DCA fixed account and allocate new purchase payments to it.

Contract Adjustment [Table Text Block]
MVA Maximum Potential Loss
(as a percentage of amount withdrawn from a GPA)
                             
Contract Adjustment, Applicable Period [Text Block]
We guarantee the
certificate account
value allocated to the GPAs, including interest credited, if you do not make any
transfers or
surrenders
from the GPAs prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee period.
                             
Contract Adjustment, Applicable Transaction [Text Block]
We guarantee the
certificate account
value allocated to the GPAs, including interest credited, if you do not make any
transfers or
surrenders
from the GPAs prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee period.
At all other times, and
unless one of the exceptions described below applies, we will apply an MVA if you make certain transactions while you
have
certificate account
value invested in a GPA.
                             
Contract Adjustment, Negative Effect Could be Greater than Value Withdrawn [Text Block]
The application of an MVA may result in either a gain or loss. You could lose up to
100
% of the amount
surrendered
as
a result of a negative MVA.
                             
Contract Adjustment, Impact of Adjustment on Interest Credited [Text Block]
When you request an early
surrender
, we adjust the early
surrender
amount by an MVA formula. The MVA is sensitive to
changes in current interest rates. The MVA, which can be zero, positive or negative, reflects the relationship between
the guaranteed interest rate that applies to the GPA from which you are taking an early
surrender
and the interest rate
we are then currently crediting on new GPAs that mature at the same time. The magnitude of any applicable MVA will
depend on the difference in these current guaranteed interest rates at the time of the early
surrender
corresponding to
the time remaining in your guarantee period and your guaranteed interest rate.
                             
Contract Adjustment, Relationship to Other Charges [Text Block]
If interest rates have increased, the MVA
will generally be negative and the early
surrender
amount will be less; if interest rates have decreased, the MVA will
generally be positive and the early
surrender
amount will be increased. This is summarized in the following table:
 
If your GPA rate is:
The MVA is:
Less than the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Negative
Equal to the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Zero
Greater than the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Positive
The precise MVA formula we apply is as follows:
 
Early
surrender
amount
×
[
(
1 + i
)
(n/12)
–1
]
=
MVA
1 + j + .001
 
Where i
=
rate earned in the GPA from which amounts are being transferred or
surrendered
.
j
=
current rate for a new Guaranteed Period equal to the remaining term in the current Guarantee Period
(rounded up to the next year).
n
=
number of months remaining in the current Guarantee Period (rounded up to the next month).
                             
Contract Adjustment, Purpose [Text Block]
Certificate administrative
charges applicable to your contract
may also apply to an early
surrender
. As noted above, we
do not apply MVAs to the amounts we deduct for fees and charges
. Please note that when you request an early
surrender
, we
surrender
an amount from your GPA that will give you the net amount you requested after we apply the
MVA
 and any applicable certificate administrative charge,
unless you request otherwise.
Contact our Service Center at the number listed on the cover page of this prospectus for a quote of the impact an early
surrender
would have on your
certificate account
value.
Values fluctuate daily and the actual MVA applied at the time an
early
surrender
is processed may be more or less than the values quoted at the time of your call.
Additional information
about MVAs, including MVA examples, is located in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).
The MVA is intended to protect us from losses on the investments we hold to support our guaranteed interest rates
when we must pay out amounts that are removed from the GPAs early.

Operation of Benefit [Text Block]
Benefits in Case of Death
– Standard Death Benefit
We will pay the death benefit to your beneficiary upon your death if you die before the annuitization start date with a
certificate account value greater than zero.
If you are age 79 or younger on the date we issue the certificate, the beneficiary receives the greater of:
•
the certificate account value, minus any loan balance; or
•
the Return of Purchase Payments (ROPP) value, minus any loan balance.
If you are age 80 or older on the certificate date, the beneficiary receives the certificate account value, minus any loan
balance.
Here are some terms that are used to describe the death benefit:
ROPP Value:
is the total purchase payments on the certificate issue date. Additional purchase payments will be added
to the ROPP value. Adjusted partial surrenders will be subtracted from the ROPP value.
If you take a partial surrender, the applicable ROPP Value will be reduced proportionally based on the percentage of
certificate account value that is withdrawn. This means that if the certificate account value is higher than the ROPP
Value at the time of a partial surrender, then the ROPP Value is reduced by an amount that is less than the dollar
amount withdrawn. Conversely, if the certificate account value is lower than the ROPP Value at the time of a partial
surrender, then the ROPP Value is reduced by an amount that is more than the dollar amount withdrawn.

b
=
the ROPP value on the date of (but prior to) the partial surrender.
c
=

For a spouse who continues the contract and is age 79 or younger, we set the ROPP value to the certificate account
value on the date of the continuation after any increase to the certificate account value due to the death benefit that
would otherwise have been paid.
Example of death benefit calculation when you are age 79 or younger on the certificate effective date:
•
You purchase the certificate with a payment of $20,000
•
During the second certificate year the certificate account value falls to $18,000, at which point you take a $1,500
partial surrender, leaving a certificate account value of $16,500.
 
We calculate the death benefit as follows, assuming $0 loan balance:
The total purchase payments minus adjustments for partial surrenders:

minus adjusted partial surrenders, calculated as:

The death benefit is the ROPP value of:
$
18,333
 
since this is greater than your certificate account value of $16,500
If You Die Before the Annuitization Start Date
When paying the beneficiary, we will process the death claim on the valuation date our death claim requirements are
fulfilled. We will determine the certificate account value using the accumulation unit value we calculate on that valuation
date. We pay interest, if any, at a rate no less than required by law. We will mail payment to the beneficiary within seven
days after our death claim requirements are fulfilled. Death claim requirements generally include due proof of death and
will be detailed in the claim materials we send upon notification of death.
The death benefit for each beneficiary will be payable in a lump sum on the valuation date we receive due proof of death
from that beneficiary. The beneficiary may elect to receive payment anytime within five years after the date of death.
Some beneficiaries may have additional options. In lieu of a lump sum, your designated beneficiary may elect to receive
regular installment payments under one of the following options:
a.
If you have not elected an annuity payout plan, and if death occurs on or after Jan. 1, 2020, the beneficiary is
required to withdraw his or her entire inherited interest by December 31 of the 10th year following your date of
death unless they qualify as an “eligible designated beneficiary.” Your beneficiary may be required to take
distributions during the 10-year period if you died after your Required Beginning Date, as defined by Code. Eligible
designated beneficiaries may continue to take proceeds out over your life expectancy if you died prior to your
Required Beginning Date or over the greater of your life expectancy or their life expectancy if you died after your
Required Beginning Date. Eligible designated beneficiaries include:
•
the surviving spouse;
•
a lawful child of the owner under the age of 21 (remaining amount must be withdrawn by the earlier of the end of
the year the minor turns 31 or end of the 10th year following the minor's death);
•
disabled within the meaning of Code section 72(m)(7);
•
chronically ill within the meaning of Code section 7702B(c)(2);
•
any other person who is not more than 10 years younger than the owner.
However, non-natural beneficiaries, such as estates and charities, are subject to a five-year rule to distribute the IRA if
you died prior to your Required Beginning Date.
We will pay the beneficiary in a single sum unless the beneficiary elects to receive payouts under any payout plan
available under this contract and:
•
the beneficiary elects in writing, and payouts begin, no later than one year following the year of your death; and
•
the payout period does not extend beyond December 31 of the 10
th
year following your death or the applicable
life expectancy for an eligible designated beneficiary.
In the event of your beneficiary’s death, their beneficiary can elect to take a lump sum payment or annuitize the
contract to deplete it within 10 years of your beneficiary’s death.
b.
If, upon your death, the designated beneficiary does not elect one of the irrevocable annuity payment plans (A
through E), or a single sum distribution, then the designated beneficiary may elect to receive payments according to
an alternative plan as agreed to by us provided:
•
the designated beneficiary elects the plan at the time we receive due proof of death;
•
if your sole designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your entire interest will be distributed, beginning no
later than the later of December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death or
December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 73, over the life of the surviving spouse
or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the surviving spouse. If the surviving spouse dies
before distributions commence, the remaining interest will be distributed, beginning no later than December 31
following the calendar year of the surviving spouse’s death, over the spouse’s designated beneficiary’s
remaining life expectancy determined using such beneficiary’s age as of his or her birthday in the year following
the death of the spouse; or
•
if your sole designated beneficiary is someone other than your surviving spouse, your entire interest will be
distributed, beginning no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death, over
the remaining life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, with such life expectancy determined using the age
of the beneficiary as of his or her birthday in the year following the year of your death and reduced by 1 for each
subsequent year;
•
if you die before your Required Beginning Date and there is no designated beneficiary, or if elected by the
designated beneficiary, your entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of your death (or of the spouse’s death if the designated beneficiary was your surviving spouse
and the spouse dies before distributions are required to begin);
•
if you die on or after your Required Beginning Date and there is no designated beneficiary, your entire interest will
be distributed, beginning no later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your
death, over your remaining life expectancy determined using your age in the year of your death and reduced by 1
for each subsequent year.
                             
Calculation Method of Benefit [Text Block]
Example of death benefit calculation when you are age 79 or younger on the certificate effective date:
•
You purchase the certificate with a payment of $20,000
•
During the second certificate year the certificate account value falls to $18,000, at which point you take a $1,500
partial surrender, leaving a certificate account value of $16,500.
 
We calculate the death benefit as follows, assuming $0 loan balance:
The total purchase payments minus adjustments for partial surrenders:

Key Information, Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block]
You could lose up to
100
% of the amount withdrawn from
a
GPA
as a result of a negative MVA.
For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a GPA with a 3-year guarantee
period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have
ended, you could lose up to $
100,000
of your investment. This loss will be
greater if you also have to pay taxes and tax penalties.
The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to
as “early surrenders,” are subject to an MVA when they occur more than
30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period, unless an exception 
applies: (i) surrenders (including full and partial surrenders, systematic
withdrawals, and required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and
(iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of the
death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease
it.

Adjustments
Market Value Adjustments

We guarantee the
certificate account
value allocated to the GPAs, including interest credited, if you do not make any
transfers or
surrenders
from the GPAs prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee period.
At all other times, and
unless one of the exceptions described below applies, we will apply an MVA if you make certain transactions while you
have
certificate account
value invested in a GPA.
The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to
as “early surrenders,” are subject to an MVA when they occur more than 30 days prior to the end of the guarantee
period, unless an exception  applies: (i) surrenders (including full and partial surrenders, systematic withdrawals, and
required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and (iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of
the death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease it.

No MVA will apply to amounts deducted for fees and charges.
The application of an MVA may result in either a gain or loss. You could lose up to
100
% of the amount
surrendered
as
a result of a negative MVA.
Under certain death benefits, the value of the death benefit is reduced proportionally when
you take a partial
surrender
based on the percentage of
certificate account
value that is withdrawn. If you request a
partial
surrender
from the GPAs that will give you the net amount you requested after we apply any applicable MVA
 and
certificate administrative charge
, the MVA could increase or decrease the percentage of
certificate account
value that is
withdrawn.
In these circumstances, a negative MVA would increase the impact of a partial
surrender
on the value of the
death benefit.
When you request an early
surrender
, we adjust the early
surrender
amount by an MVA formula. The MVA is sensitive to
changes in current interest rates. The MVA, which can be zero, positive or negative, reflects the relationship between
the guaranteed interest rate that applies to the GPA from which you are taking an early
surrender
and the interest rate
we are then currently crediting on new GPAs that mature at the same time. The magnitude of any applicable MVA will
depend on the difference in these current guaranteed interest rates at the time of the early
surrender
corresponding to
the time remaining in your guarantee period and your guaranteed interest rate.
If interest rates have increased, the MVA
will generally be negative and the early
surrender
amount will be less; if interest rates have decreased, the MVA will
generally be positive and the early
surrender
amount will be increased. This is summarized in the following table:
 
If your GPA rate is:
The MVA is:
Less than the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Negative
Equal to the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Zero
Greater than the new GPA rate + 0.10%
Positive
The precise MVA formula we apply is as follows:
 
Early
surrender
amount
×
[
(
1 + i
)
(n/12)
–1
]
=
MVA
1 + j + .001
 
Where i
=
rate earned in the GPA from which amounts are being transferred or
surrendered
.
j
=
current rate for a new Guaranteed Period equal to the remaining term in the current Guarantee Period
(rounded up to the next year).
n
=
number of months remaining in the current Guarantee Period (rounded up to the next month).
Certificate administrative
charges applicable to your contract
may also apply to an early
surrender
. As noted above, we
do not apply MVAs to the amounts we deduct for fees and charges
. Please note that when you request an early
surrender
, we
surrender
an amount from your GPA that will give you the net amount you requested after we apply the
MVA
 and any applicable certificate administrative charge,
unless you request otherwise.
Contact our Service Center at the number listed on the cover page of this prospectus for a quote of the impact an early
surrender
would have on your
certificate account
value.
Values fluctuate daily and the actual MVA applied at the time an
early
surrender
is processed may be more or less than the values quoted at the time of your call.
Additional information
about MVAs, including MVA examples, is located in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).
The MVA is intended to protect us from losses on the investments we hold to support our guaranteed interest rates
when we must pay out amounts that are removed from the GPAs early.

The Special DCA Fixed Account
You may allocate purchase payments to the Special DCA fixed account. You may not transfer certificate account value to
the Special DCA fixed account.
You may allocate your entire purchase payment to the Special DCA fixed account for a term of six or twelve months. We
reserve the right to offer shorter or longer terms for the Special DCA fixed account.
In accordance with your investment instructions, we transfer amounts from the Special DCA fixed account to the
subaccounts you select monthly so that, at the end of the Special DCA fixed account term, the balance of the Special
DCA fixed account is zero. The amount of each transfer equals the remaining Special DCA fixed account value on the
date of the transfer divided by the number of remaining transfers in the program. You may not change the amount of
transfers. The first Special DCA monthly transfer occurs one day after we receive your payment. You may not use any
GPA as a destination for the Special DCA monthly transfer.
The value of the Special DCA fixed account increases when we credit interest to the Special DCA fixed account, and
decreases when we make monthly transfers from the Special DCA fixed account. When you allocate a purchase payment
to the Special DCA fixed account, the interest rates applicable to that purchase payment will be the rates in effect for
the Special DCA fixed account term you choose on the date we receive your purchase payment. The applicable interest
rate is guaranteed for the length of the term for the Special DCA fixed account term you choose. We credit and
compound interest daily based on a 365-day year (366 in a leap year) so as to produce the annual effective rate which
we declare. We credit interest only on the declining balance of the Special DCA fixed account; we do not credit interest
on amounts that have been transferred from the Special DCA fixed account. As a result, the net effective interest rates
we credit will be less than the declared annual effective rates. Generally, we will credit the Special DCA fixed account
with interest at the annual effective rate we apply on the date we receive your purchase payment, regardless of the
length of the term you select. From time to time, we may credit interest to the Special DCA fixed account at promotional
rates that are higher. We reserve the right to declare different annual effective rates:
•
for the Special DCA fixed account; and
•
for the Special DCA fixed accounts with terms of differing length.
Alternatively, you may allocate your purchase payment to any combination of the following which equals one hundred
percent of the amount you invest:
•
the Special DCA fixed account for a six month term;
•
the Special DCA fixed account for a twelve month term;
•
the GPAs and/or the subaccounts, subject to investment minimums and other restrictions we may impose on
investments in the GPAs.
Once you establish a Special DCA fixed account, you cannot allocate additional purchase payments to it. However, you
may establish another Special DCA fixed account and allocate new purchase payments to it.
You may discontinue any Special DCA fixed account before the end of its term by giving us notice. If you do so, we will
transfer the remaining balance of the Special DCA fixed account in accordance with your investment instructions to us
to the GPAs and/or the subaccounts, subject to investment minimums and other restrictions we may impose on
investments in the GPAs, including but not limited to, any limitations described in this prospectus on transfers
(see “Transfer policies”).
Dollar-cost averaging from the Special DCA fixed account does not guarantee that any subaccount will gain in value nor
will it protect against a decline in value if market prices fall. For an example of how Special DCA dollar-cost averaging
works, see table below showing the Special DCA fixed account for a six-month term.

Fixed Option Details, Description [Text Block]
The Fixed Account
Amounts allocated to the fixed account are part of our general account. The fixed account includes
the loan account
and 
the Special DCA fixed account.
We credit interest daily on amounts you allocate to the fixed account at rates we
determine from time to time at our discretion. Interest rates credited in excess of the guaranteed rate generally will be
based on various factors related to future investment earnings. The guaranteed minimum interest rate on amounts
invested in the fixed account may vary by state and
certificate
issue year, but it will be shown on your
Certificate
Data
page and will not be lower than the minimum allowed under state law. We back the principal and interest guarantees
relating to the fixed account. These guarantees are subject to the creditworthiness and continued claims-paying ability
of
RiverSource Life
. Information regarding each fixed account option, including (i) its name, (ii) its term, and (iii) its
historical
guaranteed
minimum
interest rates may be found in Appendix
A
to this prospectus.
One year after receipt of each purchase payment or transfer, the rate for the payment or transfer amount, and its
accumulated interest, may change. Interest will accrue at revised rates determined by us and at our discretion. These
rates may be based on various factors including, but not limited to, the interest rate environment, returns earned on
investments backing these annuities, the rates currently in effect for new and existing company annuities, product
design, competition, and the company’s revenues and expenses. However, the rate will never be less than the fixed
account minimum interest rate required under state law. Your interest rate for each purchase payment or transfer will
never change more frequently than annually.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, we have not registered interests in the fixed account as securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 nor have any of these accounts been registered as investment companies under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the fixed account nor any interests in the fixed account are
subject to the provisions of these Acts.
The fixed account has not been registered with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the fixed account, however, are subject
to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of
statements made in a prospectus.

•
The
Certificate
is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash.
•
Surrenders may also be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
•
Surrenders from a
GPA
prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee
period may also result in a negative MVA. During the 30-day period
ending on the last day of the guarantee period, you may choose to start
a new guarantee period of the same length, transfer the
certificate
account value from the current
GPA
to any of the investment options
available under the
Certificate
, apply the
certificate
account value to an
annuity payout plan, or surrender the value from the current
GPA
(all
subject to applicable surrender, transfer, and annuitization provisions).
If
we do not receive any instructions by the end of the guarantee period, we
will automatically transfer the
certificate
account value from the current
GPA
into the shortest
GPA
term available.
•
The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income mean the
Certificate
is
generally more beneficial to investors with a long term investment
horizon.

Short-Term Investment Risk.
This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income mean that this contract is
more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.

•
An investment in the
Certificate
is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the

•
Each investment option (including under the
GPAs
and any
Fixed Account
investment options) has its own unique risks.

You should review the investment options before making any investment

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Withdrawal Risk.
You should carefully consider the risks associated with withdrawals under the contract. If you make a
withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax.
A positive or
negative MVA is assessed if any portion of a Guarantee Period Account is surrendered or transferred more than thirty
days before the end of its guarantee period. You could lose up to 100% of your investment in a GPA as a result of a
negative MVA. 
A withdrawal may reduce the value of your death benefit. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the
termination of your certificate.

An investment in the
Certificate
is subject to the risks related to us. Any
obligations (including under the

subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we
may not be able to meet our obligations to you. More information about

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Subaccount Risk.
Amounts that you invest in the subaccounts are subject to the risk of poor investment performance.
You assume the investment risk. Generally, if the subaccounts that you select make money, your
certificate account
value goes up, and if they lose money, your certificate account value goes down. Each subaccount’s performance
depends on the performance of its underlying Fund. Each underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are
exposed to the Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a subaccount.
You are responsible for selecting subaccounts
that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk
tolerance. For risks associated with any Fixed Account options, see Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk
below.
                             
RiverSource Retirement Group Annuity Contract I [Member] | GPA Risk [Member]                                
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
GPA Risk.
Each GPA pays an interest rate declared by us when you make an allocation to that account and is fixed for
the guarantee period you choose. We will periodically change the declared interest rate for future allocations to these
accounts at our discretion based, in part, on various factors including, but not limited to, the interest rate environment,
returns earned on investments backing these annuities, the rates currently in effect for new and existing RiverSource
Life annuities, product design, competition, and RiverSource Life's revenues and expenses. 
We guarantee the certificate account value allocated to the GPAs, including interest credited, if you do not make any
transfers or surrenders from the GPA prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee period. At all other times, and
unless an exception applies, we will apply a MVA if you surrender or transfer certificate account value from a GPA or you
elect an annuity payout plan while you have certificate account value invested in a GPA. The MVA may be negative,
positive or result in no change depending on how the guaranteed interest rate on your GPA compares to the new interest
rate of a new GPA for the same number of years as the guarantee period remaining on your GPA. You bear the risk of
loss of principal due to a negative MVA. Partial surrenders will reduce certain death benefits proportionally based on the
percentage of certificate account value that is withdrawn and if you request a partial surrender from the GPAs that will
give you the net amount you requested after we apply any applicable MVA and certificate administrative charge, a
negative MVA will increase the impact of the partial surrender on the value of the death benefit.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Managed Volatility Fund Risk.
The Portfolio Stabilizer funds are managed volatility funds that employ a strategy
designed to reduce overall volatility and downside risk. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial
risks associated with the certificate’s guarantees, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes including
the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity
markets, which may limit the potential growth of your certificate account value and may therefore conflict with your
personal investment objectives. Certain Funds advised by our affiliate, Columbia Management, employ such risk
management strategies. Costs associated with running a managed volatility strategy may also adversely impact the
performance of managed volatility funds.

Purchase Payment Risk.
Your ability to make subsequent purchase payments is subject to restrictions. Also, our prior
approval may be required before accepting certain purchase payments. We reserve the right to limit certain annuity
features (for example, investment options) if prior approval is required. There is no guarantee that you will always be
permitted to make purchase payments.

Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk.
All guarantees under the contract and certificate that are paid from

We reserve the right to make certain changes in the future, subject to applicable law. During
the annuity payout period, we reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts in which you may invest. We reserve
the right to add, remove or substitute approved investment options at any time and in our sole discretion. We reserve
the right to close or restrict approved investment options in our sole discretion.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Cybersecurity Risk.
Increasingly, businesses are dependent on the continuity, security, and effective operation of
various technology systems. The nature of our business depends on the continued effective operation of our systems
and those of our business partners.
This dependence makes us susceptible to operational and information security risks from cyber-attacks. These risks
may include the following:
•
the corruption or destruction of data;
•
theft, misuse or dissemination of data to the public, including your information we hold; and
•
denial of service attacks on our website or other forms of attacks on our systems and the software and hardware we
use to run them.
These attacks and their consequences can negatively impact your contract, your privacy, your ability to conduct
transactions on your contract, or your ability to receive timely service from us.
The risk of cyberattacks may be higher
during periods of geopolitical turmoil. There can be no assurance that we, the underlying funds in your contract, or our
other business partners will avoid losses affecting your contract due to any successful cyber-attacks or information
security breaches.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                                
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Potential Adverse Tax Consequences.
Tax considerations vary by individual facts and circumstances. Tax rules may
change without notice. Generally, Earnings under your contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn.
You may have to pay a tax penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59 ½. If you purchase a qualified annuity to fund
a retirement plan that is tax-deferred, your contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral beyond what
is provided in that retirement plan. Consult a tax professional.
                             
[1] As a percentage of average daily certificate account value in the variable account. Includes the Mortality and Expense Fee and contract administrative charge.
[2] As a percentage of Fund net assets.
[3] This Fund is managed in a way that is intended to minimize volatility of returns. See “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract.
[4] This Fund and its investment adviser and/or affiliates have entered into a temporary expense reimbursement arrangement and/or fee waiver. The Fund’s annual expenses reflect temporary fee reductions. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for additional information.
[5] This Fund is a fund of funds and invests substantially all of its assets in other underlying funds. Because the Fund invests in other funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of those underlying funds, including management fees.
[6] The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to as “early surrenders,” are subject to an MVA when they occur more than 30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period, unless an exception  applies: (i) surrenders (including full and partial surrenders, systematic withdrawals, and required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and (iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of the death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease it.
