About

The Mather Group, LLC provides investment advisory and comprehensive wealth services primarily to high-net-worth individuals and family offices, and also serves individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts and estates. Services described in the brochure include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, tax planning (and tax preparation for qualifying clients), estate-planning referrals, and bundled family office services under its TMG Legacy offering.

TMG describes an evidence-based investment approach run through an Investment Committee and organized around seven risk-based asset-allocation portfolios, with an emphasis on tax-aware, household-level structuring (its “Tax Synchronized Portfolio”) and broad diversification across global stocks, bonds and select alternatives. The firm implements customized solutions — including direct indexing, concentrated stock management, liability-matching bond ladders, ESG factor portfolios and use of sub‑advisers — and primarily employs low‑cost index and institutional providers in its models.

Noteworthy operational details disclosed in the brochure include a strategic minority investment in TMG by private equity firm Vistria in 2022 while TMG remains operationally independent, an internal bonus compensation plan that can reward employees for prospective client introductions (a potential conflict of interest), and participation in Fidelity’s Wealth Advisor Solutions referral program (with disclosed referral arrangements). The firm also discloses that tax preparation and estate-document services may be outsourced (including, in some cases, to providers located outside the United States) and that it conducts formal diligence and allocation procedures for private investment fund recommendations.
