SINCE 1994

30+ Years

Of Retirement
Plan Management

Since 1994, PCI has set the standard for retirement plan management. We pioneered much of the modern plan adviser service model—introducing structured investment selection, committee oversight, and fiduciary reporting—that is commonplace today.

  • To illustrate, PlanAdviser, the industry’s namesake publication, didn’t launch until 2006—more than a decade after we had already begun shaping this discipline.
  • We were one of the first plan advisers to accept fiduciary responsibility in writing—an unprecedented step at the time.
  • We launched the Pension Focus Conference in 1996 and ran it annually through 2021.

TODAY

We continue to move the plan adviser industry forward.

Our most recent fee and service model is a step change innovation in transparency and accountability. That’s because we believe transparency creates accountability and accountability drives results.

 

 

This approach has earned us national recognition, including a GENIE Award from 401(k)TV. Fred Barstein, Founder and CEO of The Retirement Advisor University, The Plan Sponsor University, and 401kTV, put it this way,

 

 

“PCI is the only one showing what’s really happening for plans and participants. Their reporting is a bold and important move, and really brings transparency to the world of retirement plans.”

PAID BY YOU, WORKING FOR YOU

A Fee-Only Fiduciary

A fee-only adviser is compensated solely and directly by their clients and does not receive commissions, revenue sharing, or other payments from third parties, such as investment fund companies or other plan vendors. This structure eliminates conflicts of interest, which is at the heart of fiduciary duty.

 

But our commitment goes beyond fee-only. We also refuse other forms of inducement—no marketing payments, vendor-paid travel, meals, or entertainment—because trust should never come with conditions.
