About
Strive Retirement Group provides portfolio management, pension consulting (including 401(k) plan services), and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and pension/profit‑sharing plans. The firm is a small team of three advisors serving a limited client base (14 clients) and reports approximately $6.08 million in assets under management.
SRG documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and uses fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory to guide recommendations, employing both long‑ and short‑term trading strategies as appropriate. The firm operates on a primarily non‑discretionary basis, trading only after discussion and client approval, and may refer portions of client assets to third‑party advisers while monitoring those relationships.
What is distinctive is that SRG reports all advisory assets as non‑discretionary (no discretionary AUM), a practice that is relatively uncommon among peers and means clients retain direct control over trade approvals and proxy voting. The brochure also notes the firm’s recent formation and regulatory changes (formation in 2023, registration activity including deregistration from the SEC), and its pension consulting offerings that include fixed and hourly engagement options as well as written plan deliverables.

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
