About
Life, Inc. Retirement Services provides ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and pension/401(k) consulting to individuals and employee benefit plans, including plan design, fund selection, participant education, and optional third-party administration and 3(21)/3(28) services. The firm serves retail clients rather than high‑net‑worth individuals and reports about $91.6 million in total AUM across 89 clients.
The firm documents client objectives with an Investment Policy Statement and employs fundamental and quantitative analysis, modern portfolio theory, and a long‑term trading approach. Life, Inc. manages both discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts but reports the bulk of assets as non‑discretionary ($72.8M non‑discretionary vs. $18.7M discretionary as of March 2026), and it requires clients to use specified custodians such as Betterment, Interactive Brokers, SEI (and references Orion solutions).
Compared with many team firms, Life, Inc. combines retirement plan consulting with advisors who are licensed to sell insurance and who may receive insurance‑related compensation, a potential source of conflict noted in the brochure. The firm also manages all assets in‑house rather than selecting third‑party managers, sets fixed fees for pension plan design work ( disclosed up to $75,000), and does not aggregate block trades across client accounts, which are operational features that may differ from peers.

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
