ANCORA RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS, LLC provides fiduciary and investment advisory services to retirement plan sponsors as a registered investment advisor.
ANCORA RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS, LLC
ANCORA RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS operates as an RIA whose stated purpose is retirement plan consulting. The firm's website and public records indicate a focus on ERISA fiduciary services—helping plan sponsors meet their duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. No founding date, principal names, or detailed history are publicly available. The firm provides investment advisory services to retirement plans, including plan design, vendor selection, investment menu construction, and ongoing monitoring. Asset-class exposure would typically follow the plan's menu—generally a mix of equity, fixed income, target-date funds, and sometimes alternatives like stable value or real estate, per plan specifications. Known deployment data or specific portfolio company exposures are not publicly disclosed. No figures for AUM, number of professionals, or additional offices are reported in public sources. The firm does not appear to operate philanthropic vehicles or adjacent investment structures. Recent activity: no verifiable operational events from the past 24 months are publicly documented. As a specialized RIA focused solely on retirement plan advisory—rather than broader wealth management—ANCORA fills a distinct niche. The firm's fiduciary-only model, where it acts as a co-fiduciary or directed fiduciary to plan sponsors, positions it differently from multi-family offices or asset managers.

Frequently asked questions
What type of clients does ANCORA serve?
ANCORA RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS serves retirement plan sponsors, including corporations, non-profits, and other entities that maintain ERISA-governed defined-contribution or defined-benefit plans. The firm acts as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
What fiduciary services does ANCORA provide?
The firm offers both 3(21) (co-fiduciary) and 3(38) (directed fiduciary) services. These include selecting investment menus, monitoring funds for performance and fees, reviewing plan providers, and assisting with participant education. The scope is limited to plan-level advisory.
Is ANCORA a family office or asset manager?
No. ANCORA is a registered investment advisor (RIA) specializing in retirement plan fiduciary consulting. It is not structured as a family office, asset manager, or hedge fund.
Does ANCORA manage assets directly or make investments?
ANCORA advises on the investment lineup of client retirement plans but does not manage pooled assets or make direct investments of its own capital. The firm does not hold itself out as an asset manager.
How is ANCORA compensated?
Compensation is typically asset-based or flat-fee, paid by the plan sponsor or deducted from plan assets per the advisory agreement. The firm does not accept commissions or revenue sharing from plan providers in its standard model (per SEC disclosure rules).
Who are the principals of ANCORA?
Publicly available sources do not list the names or titles of ANCORA's principals. The firm does not appear to publish a leadership page on its website, and no SEC or regulatory filing naming individuals is readily accessible in non-subscription databases.
What is ANCORA's AUM?
No AUM figure has been disclosed publicly. Retirement plan advisory firms often do not report AUM in the format used by asset managers; they may report 'assets under advisement' (AUA) internally, but ANCORA has not released this number.
