A Clear Path Through Complexity

Simplifying your financial life so you can focus on what matters most

Take hold of your fullest life.

We'll guide you through every step.

We bring personalized ideas and solutions to the table, so you can maximize financial opportunities and secure your best future. Our goal as advisors is to equip you to live your fullest life, and that means listening to what you want out of life, simplifying and bringing clarity to your finances, and remembering your “whys” so that you can navigate each step of your journey with a clear vision and purpose.

Retirement is coming.

Let’s make it incredible.

When we help you plan for retirement, we create a detailed spending strategy that empowers you to enjoy that season of life without worry. We design an income stream you can’t outlive, regularly adjusting your plan so you’re always on track for a fulfilling and secure future. We serve as a strategic buffer between you and your money, helping you make wise, intentional decisions that reflect your idea of an incredible life.

Honest. Family-Centric. Open-Minded.

That’s our kind of people.

We partner with salt of the earth business owners and families who want to make intentional financial decisions. They’ve worked hard to get where they are, and they want someone they trust to help them capitalize on their opportunities and secure a strong future for their loved ones. We form close relationships and walk through life with them, offering personalized guidance for whatever they need along the way.

Participant Services

Our status as independent retirement plan consultants enables us to provide your plan participants with what they value most—investment guidance to help them feel confident about the decisions they are making to pursue their retirement goals.

Participant education

We will work with your participants to:

  • Explain the importance of retirement planning and the options available under the plan
  • Determine their unique investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and time horizon
  • Recommend an asset allocation model suited to their personal needs or goals, based on the investment options available under your plan

Vendor Search & Plan Benchmarking

With us as your partner, you can choose from a virtually unlimited universe of providers—free from proprietary vendor or product pressures and conflicts of interest. We will help you select the provider that most appropriately fits the specific needs of your firm and your participants.

Managing vendor due diligence

Our customized Request for Proposal (RFP) process includes:

  • Gathering data and pricing
  • Analyzing costs, services, and investment choices
  • Facilitating finalist meetings

Ongoing monitoring

Once your plan is in place, you can expect:

  • Monitoring of participation levels and performance
  • Fee benchmarking and analysis against other vendors and plans
  • Guidance on areas of improvement

Plan Design

We take the time to understand your objectives and design a retirement plan program that provides your employees with the greatest value and, to the extent possible, reduces your administrative responsibilities.

Specific areas we focus on include:

  • Employer contribution strategies
  • Evaluation of qualification and eligibility issues
  • Compliance with legislative changes
  • Support services to help simplify plan administration
  • Optimal use of safe harbors, such as 404(c) and QDIA

Investment Expertise

As your experienced partner, we will help you establish an investment strategy that fits the distinct needs of your firm and your employees. Our investment process includes:

  • Investment Policy Statement

    We assist you in developing an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) that sets guidelines for making investment decisions.

  • Investment Selection

    It's important to construct a well-balanced investment lineup that offers broad diversification across asset classes. We make investment recommendations based on a rigorous quantitative and qualitative evaluation process.

  • Continual Monitoring

    We conduct periodic investment reviews to check that performance and expenses remain consistent with plan objectives.

Why We're Different

Stonebridge Financial Group is:

  • Independent of all service providers.
  • Able to deal with virtually any service provider available to your company.
  • Capable of servicing your current retirement plan programs if you want to retain your product provider but replace your current broker with our services.

Stonebridge Financial Group works exclusively for our clients. Many of our clients find they can upgrade the performance of their plan, without the trouble of changing providers. They simply add our services to improve investments, assist employees and manage fiduciary risks.

Others find they have outgrown their current provider. When that happens, we will conduct a comprehensive market search using specific technology, and then apply our decades of experience to assure the right fit for you. After narrowing the field, we coordinate presentations from the best available. Having us on your side makes the search process much easier, as we make sure you get the straight story about the limitations of potential providers as well as their strengths.

You can engage STONEBRIDGE FINANCIAL GROUP in three ways:

  • Pay us a fee

    As investment advisory representatives, we can work on a fee for service basis.

  • Replace your current broker

    Often the compensation already embedded in your 401(k) investments is sufficient to pay for our services with no increase in costs to you. Some plan sponsors are not aware that commissions are being paid to a broker or agent because they are receiving little to no service in return.

  • Change 401(k) providers

    And appoint us as your representative in the process.
