ABOUT THE MATHER GROUP
The Mather Group, LLC (TMG) is one of the fastest-growing independent, fee-only registered investment advisory firms in the country, offering comprehensive financial planning services with clients’ best interests in mind. We find the most cost-effective investment strategies, and clients pay only for our expert advice—no commissions, no product fees and no hidden fees.
OUR INDUSTRY'S CHALLENGE & OUR SOLUTION
The Mather Group is a federally registered investment advisor with a fiduciary duty to our clients. That means we have a legal obligation to always act in their best interest. When clients chose TMG, we work to mitigate any potential conflicts of interest regarding how their money is managed and where their money is held. Our main concern is working to ensure the best interest of our clients is always met, and creating longevity in our relationships. Our financial professionals do not hold brokerage licenses, are not compensated by selling products, and do not earn commissions. Our fees are always disclosed in our firm’s public disclosure documents, so there are no hidden fees, which means we do not incentive ourselves at our client’s expense.
What we're doing differently is educating investors on what the fiduciary responsibility really means, at a time when it's more important than ever.
