Altoona, PA Office

SPC provides investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services to a broad client mix that includes individual investors (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), employer‑sponsored retirement plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients. The firm supports a large advisory network—hundreds of IARs serving over 30,000 clients—and delivers services through account programs such as the SIGMA Managed Account, direct‑at‑fund programs, and a wrap offering (Axis Platform).

Investment advice is delivered at the IAR level and is typically tailored and discretionary, based on client suitability information and periodic portfolio reviews; custody and execution for SIGMA Managed Accounts are provided through Fidelity/NFS. SPC also works with third‑party investment advisers and TPIAs (sometimes in a co‑advisory or promoter role), offers ERISA §3(38) and §3(21)(A) retirement services, and provides limited non‑legal estate/tax coordination and implementation support through recommended third‑party providers.

Compared with many large enterprise advisers, SPC is notable for not being affiliated with other registered investment advisers, while maintaining close affiliations with broker‑dealers and insurance agencies (Sigma Financial Corporation and Parkland), which results in common dual‑registration and potential conflicts of interest. The firm’s relationship with Fidelity (a shared program fee structure), its strategic partnership and promoter arrangements with third parties, and its documented ability to selectively reduce program fees for certain IARs or client groups are distinctive operational features that clients should understand when evaluating SPC.
