About
Cognis Retirement Group provides fiduciary advisory and investment management services to retirement plan sponsors (401(k), 403(b), 457) and offers participant-level managed account and retirement income solutions, along with financial planning for private investors and healthcare practitioners. Its services cover plan-level consulting, participant “opt‑in” managed accounts, retirement income planning, and complementary financial planning support.
The firm emphasizes establishing plan governance, investment‑menu construction, ongoing plan monitoring, and participant education, and uses fundamental analysis to inform asset allocation and manager selection. CRG implements many solutions through third‑party managers and technology platforms — for example, a goal‑based managed account program intended as an alternative to target‑date funds (iJoin) and a retirement income planning platform (IncomeLab) — with separate advisory agreements for those services.
Compared with many peers, CRG routinely delivers periodic educational seminars and workshops to clients, acts as a selector of other advisers and third‑party managers, and offers flexible planning engagements including subscription and hourly planning arrangements. The firm also maintains an operative business outside traditional advisory services (a cloud‑based financial/compliance platform geared to healthcare travelers and similar professionals), which is an atypical feature for firms in this category.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
