5 steps to starting 
your why-powered 
retirement journey
At The Mather Group (TMG), we believe your retirement plan should be driven by your life and dreams—not just numbers in a spreadsheet. So we help you and your family define what matters most, and build a holistic financial strategy that reflects it.

As a fiduciary, our fee-only model means more of your money is directed toward investments, with no commissions and no hidden fees. You’ll get personalized guidance from our team of experts to help you navigate the financial and lifestyle shifts of retirement and achieve sustained growth for your long-term success—all designed to get you where you want to go.

TMG Retirement Roadmap™
Through our proprietary methodology, the TMG Retirement Roadmap™, we build a retirement plan tailored to your goals and purpose—one that’s flexible enough to adapt to life’s changes.
Discover
Discover your unique vision.
We start by defining your unique vision for retirement. Together, we outline your values and lifestyle goals, and determine the financial resources needed to achieve them. This includes taking stock of your balance sheet, cash flows, tax documents, estate plans, and insurance.
Framework
Protect your retirement.
To protect your retirement journey, we identify and attempt to mitigate potential risks. Our analysis integrates leading academic theory with trusted institutional approaches, and we collaborate with you throughout to ensure you're confident about the road ahead.
Portfolio
Assess your risk tolerance.
Then we’ll build an investment portfolio based on your risk tolerance and retirement needs. We have five risk-base models and will walk you through each while explaining historical performance, fee structures, volatility, and how each approach could align with your goals.
Income stream
Create steady income for life.
Your customized portfolio generates income to supplement pensions, Social Security, and other sources. We simplify the distribution and tax withholding process, providing clarity and peace of mind as you enjoy retirement.
Monitor
Stay on track as life evolves.
Retirement planning doesn’t end at implementation. We regularly monitor your plan against economic changes, lifestyle adjustments, and family needs to ensure it remains dynamic and effective. Annual reviews keep us aligned and on course.
