About
Empower Advisory Group (EAG) provides financial planning and investment management primarily to employer‑sponsored retirement plan sponsors and their participants, as well as to Empower Premier IRA and certain retail brokerage account holders. The firm’s services are delivered through an integrated model tied to Empower’s recordkeeping and administrative platforms and include both point‑in‑time financial plans and optional managed account solutions.
EAG’s financial planning Service produces a single “point‑in‑time” plan using proprietary and third‑party methodologies that emphasize long‑term portfolio returns, annual rebalancing, and clients’ savings rates rather than short‑term return forecasts. The standalone planning Service does not implement or monitor recommendations automatically and will not update plans unless a client re‑engages, although participants may separately enroll in managed accounts that give EAG discretionary authority.
Distinctive features include the firm’s scale and tight integration with affiliated Empower entities for recordkeeping, brokerage execution and investment products, which means recommendations are generally made within plan lineups chosen by plan sponsors and can result in affiliate compensation when proprietary funds or insurance products are used. EAG also serves a very large participant base relative to its adviser headcount—yielding a higher client‑to‑advisor workload than many peers—and disclosed a material SEC settlement in August 2025 concerning disclosure and conflicts of interest (censure, cease‑and‑desist order, $750,000 civil penalty and $4,063,569.80 disgorgement).

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
