Erick Arndt has quickly become my specialist for all things 401(k). I run an office for a small business and when you are setting up anything new, but especially something involving money, it is stressful. Erick truly helped me through the process and helped me through my anxious moments. He is very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions that I have. On top of that, he has helped me with things outside of our 401(k), being exactly the kind of financial advisor I need. I have made it clear to everyone that I will not give up Erick if I can help it, he's the best!

Always a Fiduciary

We’re always a Fiduciary to help you and the company manage the liability. We offer both 3(38) and 3(21) fiduciary services.

It’s time-consuming, complicated, but it has to be done… right. So let us do it. We’ll help you with ERISA compliance BEFORE the DOL and IRS visit.

Monitor your plan and fees

We’ll closely monitor your 401k plan, investment options, and fees to help save you valuable time and money.

Not just 401(k)... Defined Benefit, Deferred Comp, Cash Balance and more!

401(k) plans are wonderful but sometimes another retirement plan is a better fit. After all, your needs are unique so your retirement should be, too. We are experienced in all retirement plans from Non-Qualified Deferred Comp Plans, Cash Balance, Deferred Comp, Pensions, Combo Plans, and more.

Sometimes our clients offer 2 or 3 different plans to fit the needs of the company and the employees. That’s all part of our comprehensive analysis upfront. Our job is to educate you with options so you can make the best decision for your company.

Erick Arndt

I founded Retirement Partners of California because I saw companies like yours getting bad advice, little fiduciary guidance and very poor or no advice for their employees.

It was time to find a team of experienced retirement plan professionals to help companies and their employees. Beyond experience we also needed a team that can listen to clients and then effectively communicate the advice that can help them.

Our Plan: Educate plan sponsors about their current plan and then offer them a “clear path forward” towards the goals. Many had worked with their current broker or advisor for years so they were hesitant to believe their retirement plan was performing poorly, they were overpaying their fees, and were exposed to so much fiduciary liability. We explained ERISA and what was expected of them by the Department of Labor as explained in their publication “Meeting Your Fiduciary Liabilities“. That helped them see the light. Now they are some of my best referral sources for new business.

I have seen firsthand the negative impact on employees and companies so this has become more than a business… this is our passion. Welcome to Retirement Partners of California!
