About Retirement Partners of California

We are a 401(k) fiduciary advisory firm based in Santa Clarita, California. Our focus is simple: help business owners reduce plan costs and fiduciary risk while giving employees clear, practical retirement guidance.

Erick Arndt, Founder

Erick founded Retirement Partners of California after seeing too many businesses take on excessive fiduciary risk, pay more than necessary for their retirement plans, and leave employees unprepared for retirement. He has been advising retirement plans since 2003 and focuses on practical, clear advice that reduces risk for plan sponsors while helping workers prepare for retirement.

Our investment monitoring process and tool suite are CEFEX certified. We work with companies throughout California and across the United States.

Erick is known for making education fun, putting his clients’ interests first, and making complex topics understandable for both business owners and employees.

What We Believe

Fiduciary First

We act in the best interest of the plan and its participants. Our recommendations are never driven by commissions.

Clear Communication

Complex topics should be explained in plain language. Employees and plan sponsors both deserve to understand their options.

Real Employee Engagement

Education meetings should be practical and even fun. When employees understand their plan, they make better decisions.
