PlanMember Securities Corporation

PlanMember Securities Corporation

Founded in 1994 and headquartered in San Diego, PlanMember Securities Corporation operates as a registered investment adviser focused on serving the retirement and wealth-accumulation needs of individual investors, workplace savers, and the employers and unions that sponsor their plans. The firm’s public communications emphasize a bundled model — combining investment advisory services, financial planning, and pension consulting — that targets participants in defined-contribution retirement plans. PlanMember also provides distribution-partner support for financial professionals, positioning itself as an intermediary that connects plan sponsors and individual savers with managed investment programs. The firm serves a client base that, per its regulatory disclosures, includes high-net-worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities. The firm’s wealth-management activities are channeled through a centralized service operation reachable at its California headquarters. While PlanMember does not publicly disclose total assets under management, its registered investment-adviser structure requires it to manage client portfolios on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis across mutual fund, ETF, and annuity platforms typical of the US retirement-plan industry. Public documentation does not name specific portfolio companies or direct-investment positions, consistent with a manager-of-managers platform rather than a direct-deal shop. The geographic footprint serves a national US client base from a single office, with phone-based service available during extended weekday hours. PlanMember’s team size and executive roster are not detailed on its public website, which routes inquiries about leadership and careers to generic service channels. The firm maintains a quarterly market-commentary series produced by its internal investment team, and its digital presence is oriented toward participant education — offering retirement-planning content, employer-plan design resources, and professional-distribution support. PlanMember does not operate known philanthropic foundations, club-vehicle affiliations, or adjacent real-asset arms under the PlanMember brand; its service suite is built entirely around retirement-savings program management. Structurally, PlanMember occupies a hybrid position — it is a broker-dealer and registered investment adviser that acts as both a plan-service provider and a discretionary manager, an architecture that can create a tighter integration between plan administration and investment oversight than a siloed recordkeeper-and-manager model typically offers. This dual-capacity design allows the firm to control the participant experience from enrollment through portfolio construction and ongoing advice, a configuration more commonly associated with larger retirement-platform consolidators but executed here inside a single, privately held California entity.
