About

Phillips Financial Management serves a broad mix of clients—including individual investors (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other investment advisers. The firm provides comprehensive financial planning and consulting, discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, retirement plan services and fiduciary support, an automated Betterment-based investment option, access to private/alternative investments, and sub‑advisory arrangements.

PFM’s investment approach emphasizes strategic, broad‑asset‑class exposure implemented mainly through mutual funds and ETFs and a set of model portfolios intended to deliver long‑term market returns with periodic rebalancing and tax awareness. It supplements that core strategy with a lower‑cost automated program for smaller accounts, the use of third‑party sub‑advisors for certain mandates, and a non‑discretionary structure for private capital investments.

Distinctive aspects of the firm include its affiliation with licensed insurance agencies whose representatives may sell commission‑based insurance products, a pension‑consulting and retirement plan service line that includes the Market Index Solution™ and QDIA selection authority, and the fact that it both serves other RIAs as clients and acts as a non‑exclusive sub‑advisor to another adviser. PFM also facilitates access to private investments via its Private Capital platform and iCapital, offers fiduciary training and periodic reporting, and maintains custodial and wrap‑program arrangements (and certain third‑party transfer authorizations) that the firm discloses as creating potential conflicts of interest and that subject it to an annual surprise custody audit.
