Our firm is proud to be a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and believe it lets our clients know we strive for the highest standards of professionalism. The distinction between Monarch Plan Advisors as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) vs. a firm that charges commissions is:

  1. As a RIA, we are co-investment fiduciaries to our plan sponsor clients, and are held to a fiduciary standard of care.
  2. Our firm is required by law to act as a fiduciary and always to put our client’s best interests first.
  3. We are compensated by a percentage of assets and/or a billable fee; we do not make commissions.
