ANCORA RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS, LLC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
