Annuity payouts: An amount paid at regular intervals under one of several plans.
Beneficiary: The person you designate to receive benefits in case of your death while the Contract is in force.

Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Contract value: The total value of your Contract at any point in time. The Contract value is the sum of the contract value in the Special DCA Fixed Account and Contract value in the Variable Account.
Contract year: A period of 12 months, starting on the effective date of your Contract and on each anniversary of the effective date.
Funds: A portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in which the Subaccounts invest.  May also be referred to as an underlying Fund. 
Good order: We cannot process your transaction request relating to the Contract until we have received the request in good order at our Service Center. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the requested transaction in writing, along with all information, forms and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. To be in “good order”, your instructions must be sufficiently clear so that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions. This information and documentation generally includes your completed request; the Contract number; the transaction amount (in dollars); the names of and allocations to and/or from the subaccounts and the fixed account affected by the requested transaction; Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number; and any other information, forms or supporting documentation that we may require. For certain transactions, at our option, we may require the signature of all Contract owners for the request to be in good order. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient payment by us to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
Owner (you, your): The person or persons identified in the Contract as owner(s) of the Contract, who has or have the right to control the Contract (to decide on investment allocations, transfers, payout options, etc.). Usually, but not always, the owner is also the annuitant. During the owner’s life, the owner is responsible for taxes, regardless of whether he or she receives the Contract’s benefits. The owner or any joint owner may be a nonnatural person (e.g. irrevocable trust or corporation) or a revocable trust. If any owner is a nonnatural person or a revocable trust, the annuitant will be deemed to be the owner for Contract provisions that are based on the age or life of the owner. When the Contract is owned by a revocable trust or irrevocable grantor trust, the annuitant(s) selected must be the grantor(s) of the trust to assure compliance with Section 72(s) of the Code. Any Contract provisions that are based on the age of the owner will be based on the age of the oldest owner. Any ownership change, including continuation of the Contract by your spouse under the spousal continuation provision of the Contract, redefines “owner”, “you” and “your”.
Partial Surrender: The withdrawal of part of your Contract value. Throughout this prospectus, a Partial surrender includes the term “withdrawal."
Service Center: Our department that processes all transaction and service requests for the Contracts. We consider all transaction and service requests received when they arrive in good order at the Service Center. Any transaction or service requests sent or directed to any location other than our Service Center may end up delayed or not processed. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed on the first page of the prospectus.
Standard Death Benefit: The guaranteed minimum death benefit payable before the Annuitization Start Date can be either: Maximum 3-Year Anniversary Value if you are age 80 or younger on the application date or the date of the most recent covered life change, or Return of Purchase Payments if you are age 81 or older on the application date or the date of the most recent covered life change.
Subaccount: A division of the Variable Account, each of which invests in one Fund.
Valuation date: Any normal business day, Monday through Friday, on which the NYSE is open, up to the time it closes. At the NYSE close, the next valuation date begins.
Variable Account: Refers to the RiverSource Variable Account 10, a Separate Account established to hold Contract owners’ assets allocated to the Subaccounts, each of which invests in a particular Fund.

[RiverSource PortfolioEdge Advisory Variable Annuity] — Summary Prospectus 3

Overview of the Contract
Purpose: The purpose of the contract is to allow you to accumulate money for retirement or a similar long-term goal. You do this by making one or more purchase payments.
The contract offers various optional features and benefits that may help you achieve financial goals.
It may be appropriate for you if you have a long-term investment horizon and your financial goals are consistent with the terms and conditions of the contract.
It is not intended for investors whose liquidity needs require frequent withdrawals. If you plan to manage your investment in the contract by frequent or short-term trading, the contract is not suitable for you.
Phases of the Contract:
The contract has two phases: the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase.
Accumulation Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, you make purchase payments and invest in: available subaccounts, each of which has a particular investment objective, investment strategies, fees and expenses and the Special DCA Fixed Account that earns a declared rate of interest. These accounts, in turn, may earn returns that increase the value of the contract. If the contract value goes to zero due to underlying fund’s performance or deduction of fees, the contract (and any death benefit riders) will no longer be in force and the contract will terminate.
A list of funds and additional information regarding each investment option available under the contract is provided in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract.
The amount of money you accumulate under your contract depends (in part) on the performance of the subaccounts you choose or the rates you earn on allocations to the Special DCA Fixed Account. You may transfer money between subaccounts during the Accumulation Phase, subject to certain restrictions. Your contract value impacts the value of your contract’s benefits during the Accumulation Phase, including any optional benefits, as well as the amount available for withdrawal, annuitization and death benefits.
Income Phase. The Income Phase begins when you (or your beneficiary) choose to annuitize the contract. You can apply your contract value (less any applicable premium tax and/or other charges) to an annuity payout plan that begins on the annuitization start date or any other date you elect. You may choose from a variety of plans that can help meet your retirement or other income needs. We can make payouts on a fixed or variable basis, or both. You cannot take withdrawals of contract value or surrender the contract during the Income Phase.
All optional death benefits terminate after the annuitization start date.
Contract Features:
Death Benefits. If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. All contracts include a Standard Death Benefit at no additional charge. Non-qualified contracts can elect to opt out of the Standard Death Benefit and instead receive the Contract Value Death Benefit for a reduced mortality and expense risk charge. If you select the Contract Value Death Benefit, your beneficiary will only receive the contract value as of the day we receive due proof of death, which is impacted by investment performance and charges. If you elect the Contract Value Death Benefit, you will not have a guaranteed return of purchase payments at death.
Optional Death Benefits. You may be able to purchase an optional death benefit available under the Contract, including the MAV Death Benefit, the Benefit Protector Death Benefit, or the Enhanced Legacy Benefit, that provides additional death benefits for an additional fee. These optional death benefits may increase the amount of money payable upon death. Optional death benefits must be elected at the time that the contract is purchased. After the death benefit is paid the contract will terminate.
Surrenders. You may surrender all or part of your contract value at any time during the Accumulation Phase. If you request a full surrender, the contract will terminate. You also may establish automated partial surrenders. Full and partial surrenders may be subject to charges and income taxes (including a 10% IRS penalty that may apply if you surrender prior to reaching age 59½) and may have other tax consequences.
Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between subaccounts without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. Generally, earnings are not taxed until they are distributed, which may occur when making a withdrawal, upon receiving an annuity payment, or upon payment of the death benefit.
Additional Services:
Dollar Cost Averaging Programs. Automated Dollar Cost Averaging allows you, at no additional cost, to transfer a set amount monthly between subaccounts. Special Dollar Cost Averaging (SDCA), only available for new purchase payments and only for the first 180 days from the contract issue date, allows the systematic transfer from the Special DCA Fixed Account to one or more eligible subaccounts over a 6 or 12 month period.

4 [RiverSource PortfolioEdge Advisory Variable Annuity] — Summary Prospectus

Asset Rebalancing. Allows you, at no additional cost, to automatically rebalance the subaccount portion of your contract value on a periodic basis.
Automated Partial Surrenders. An optional service allowing you to set up automated partial surrenders from the Special DCA Fixed Account or the subaccounts.
Electronic Delivery. You may register for the electronic delivery of your current prospectus and other documents related to your contract.

Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
No.
The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is
designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and
income on a long-term basis.
Surrenders may reduce contract guarantees.
Surrenders may also be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income mean the contract is
generally more beneficial to investors with a long term investment
horizon.

Should I Exchange
My Contract?
If you already own an annuity or insurance Contract, some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in
place of the one you own. You should only exchange a Contract you already
own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
Contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new Contract rather than
continue to own your existing Contract.

Total annual Fund operating expenses are deducted from amounts that are allocated to the Fund. They include management fees and other expenses and may include distribution (12b-1) fees. Other expenses may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including us and our affiliates, for administrative and contract owner services provided on behalf of the Fund. The amount of these payments will vary by Fund and may be significant. See “The Variable Account and the Funds” for additional information, including potential conflicts of interest these payments may create. Distribution (12b-1) fees are used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Fund assets on an ongoing basis, you may pay more if you select Subaccounts investing in Funds that have adopted 12b-1 plans than if you select Subaccounts investing in Funds that have not adopted 12b-1 plans. For a more complete description of each Fund’s fees and expenses and important disclosure regarding payments the Fund and/or its affiliates make, please review the Fund’s prospectus and SAI.

These limits apply in total to all RiverSource Life annuities you own unless a higher amount applies to your contract. We reserve the right to waive or increase the maximum limit. For qualified annuities, the Code’s limits on annual contributions also apply. Additional purchase payments for inherited IRA contracts cannot be made unless the payment is IRA money inherited from the same decedent.
You may make regular payments to your contract under a scheduled payment plan. You must make an initial purchase payment of $5,000 or $ 10,000 depending on the tax qualification. Once the required initial purchase payment amount has been met, you can begin the scheduled payment plan by sending a completed form to the Service Center. Certain qualified plan applications allow the establishment of a scheduled payment plan without meeting the required initial purchase payment amount. Contact your financial advisor for details. There is no charge for the scheduled payment plan. You can stop your scheduled payment plan at any time.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
The contract provides for allocation of purchase payments to the subaccounts of the Variable Account and/or to the Special DCA Fixed Account (only available during the first 180 days from the contract issue date).
Crediting Purchase Payments to Your Account
Initial Purchase Payments. If your application is complete, we will process it and apply your purchase payment to your investment selections within two business days after we receive it at our Service Center. If we accept your application, we will send you a contract. If your application is not complete, you must give us the information to complete it within five business days. If we cannot accept your application within five business days, we will decline it and return your payment unless you specifically ask us to keep the payment and apply it once your application is complete.
Subsequent Purchase Payments. We will credit additional eligible purchase payments you make to your accounts on the valuation date we receive them. If we receive an additional purchase payment at our Service Center before the close of business, we will credit any portion of that payment allocated to the subaccounts using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the valuation date we received the payment. If we receive an additional purchase payment at our Service Center at or after the close of business, we will credit any portion of that payment allocated to the subaccounts using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the next valuation date after we received the payment.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
We may ask you to return the contract. You may have to pay a contract administrative charge, or any applicable optional rider charges and federal income taxes and penalties. State and local income taxes may also apply (see “Taxes” in your prospectus). You cannot make surrenders after the annuitization start date except if you elect an annuity payout plan with guaranteed payouts.
Any partial surrender you take under the contract will reduce your contract value. As a result, the value of your death benefit or any optional benefits you have elected also will be reduced.
In addition, surrenders you are required to take to satisfy the RMDs under the Code, may reduce the value of certain death benefits and optional benefits.
Please see “Surrenders” in your prospectus for more information about surrenders.
Requesting a Withdrawal
You can request to surrender all or part of your contract value by sending us a written request or calling us. If we receive your surrender request at our Service Center in good order before the close of the NYSE (4:00pm Eastern time unless the NYSE closes earlier), we will process your surrender using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the valuation date we received your surrender request. If we receive your surrender request at our Service Center in good order at or after the close of the NYSE (4:00pm Eastern time unless the NYSE closes earlier), we will process your surrender using the accumulation unit value we calculate on the next valuation date after we received your surrender request.
Normally, we will send the payment within seven days after receiving your request in good order. However, we may postpone the payment if:
the NYSE is closed, except for normal holiday and weekend closings;
trading on the NYSE is restricted, according to SEC rules;
an emergency, as defined by SEC rules, makes it impractical to sell securities or value the net assets of the accounts; or
the SEC permits us to delay payment for the protection of security holders.
We may also postpone payment of the amount attributable to a purchase payment as part of the total surrender amount until cleared from the originating financial institution.
