About

PlanMember provides retirement-plan advisory services to employers and plan participants, acting as an ERISA Section 3(38) fiduciary for many plans and offering participant-level investment options through its PlanMember Asset Allocation Portfolios. The firm also delivers education and support services to plan sponsors and participants, including a service center, seminars, personalized retirement planning, and separation counseling.

PlanMember’s investment process is built on a top-down strategic asset allocation framework and the management of unitized, risk‑based mutual‑fund portfolios that range from conservative to aggressive. Portfolio decisions rely on an economic framework, portfolio strategy development, mutual fund selection and monitoring, and periodic rebalancing driven by defined Strategic Rebalancing Events.

The firm is a dual registrant—registered as both a broker‑dealer and an investment adviser—and its associated representatives are licensed to sell securities and insurance products, which the brochure notes constitutes a significant portion of their business activity. While PlanMember states it does not take custody of plan assets and relies on third‑party custodians for fee processing, it is affiliated with a transfer‑agent/recordkeeping company and has disclosed prior regulatory settlements (including SEC action related to mutual fund share‑class selection), features that distinguish it from many enterprise peers.
