Comerica's advisor attrition is accelerating, leading to a $19B outflow by end of Q3 2026, which negatively impacts Comerica's wealth management business.

Comerica terminated its wealth-management contract with Ameriprise after being acquired by Fifth Third, resulting in a one-time $25M make-whole payment and ongoing asset outflows through Q3.

Comerica is a key banking partner for Ameriprise's financial institutions channel; its pending acquisition by Fifth Third creates uncertainty about the continuation of the relationship.

The pending acquisition of Comerica (by an unnamed buyer) creates potential churn in the outsourced wealth management channel, but Ameriprise's strong contract protections and platform satisfaction position it to retain or even grow the relationship. — Regional bank M&A often triggers re-evaluations of wealth management partnerships; Ameriprise's defensive positioning could lead to either stable revenue or an opportunity to expand the relationship if the acquirer adopts the platform.
