Aegis Retirement Partners

What Aegis Retirement Partners does

Aegis Retirement Partners, LLC is a privately held, independent retirement plan advisory firm headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts. Founded in January 2017 by Kevin Haskell and Douglas C. Norberg, both formerly of Summit Financial Corporation, the firm provides a unified suite of seven retirement plan services: plan consulting, plan administration, plan design, plan compliance, plan and advisor benchmarking, plan communication and education, and investment advisory support. The firm serves as an ERISA 3(21) fiduciary for plan sponsors, covering qualified plans including 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), defined benefit pension plans, cash balance plans, and non-qualified executive benefit plans for for-profit corporations, partnerships, and non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations. Securities and investment advisory services are offered under a non-affiliated broker-dealer arrangement with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc.

The firm operates a boutique dedicated single-point-of-contact service model, assigning one retirement plan expert per client and relying on credentialed personnel holding ASPPA QKC, QKA, and QPA designations. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per engagement, with revenue generated through advisory fees disclosed under ERISA 408(b)2; the firm is structurally independent with no production obligations to fund families or recordkeepers. Geographic coverage is constrained: marketing materials reference four U.S. regions, but securities services are offered only in CA, MA, NH, NY, PA, RI, SC, and VT. Distribution combines relationship-based referral channels (CPAs, attorneys, benefits professionals) with content marketing through an Aegis News blog covering SECURE Act, CARES Act, and IRS regulatory updates. The team consists of roughly 8–10 named professionals, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
