Overview

Cerity Partners Retirement Plan Consultants is an institutional RIA that serves retirement-plan and other institutional clients. The firm is SEC-registered (registered in 2012) and positions itself as a capital allocator, using third-party managers and pooled vehicles in addition to directly managed strategies. Its advisory work, reflected in filings, includes portfolio management for businesses and institutions, pension consulting and selection of other advisers, plus educational seminars and workshops. The firm reports active ESG investing and offers multiple fee arrangements (percentage of AUM, hourly, fixed and other structures). Filings also show a range of industry affiliations — broker-dealer relationships, trust company links, connections to other investment advisers and to sponsor/GP roles in pooled vehicles — that support multi-faceted institutional service delivery.
