The Pinnacle Group Has a New Name

What Does That Mean to You?

After thoughtful planning for our future and yours, The Pinnacle Group became part of Mariner Wealth Advisors on Sept. 24, 2021.

We have been planning and evaluating options and strategies for the succession of Pinnacle for several years. Just as we have counseled you to focus on your planning, we too wanted to be very intentional as we planned for our future. We are executing on the first step in that succession process by joining Mariner Wealth Advisors, a national registered investment advisory firm.

We believe this is the right step to ensure quality services for our individual clients as well as our retirement plan clients and their employees.

Expanded Services & Resources

For individual clients, we now have access to a wider range of resources like stock market and investment research. We have also expanded our service offerings, including tax and estate planning and trust services, plus insurance and investment solutions. Having these services under one roof will allow us to provide individuals with more coordinated, comprehensive wealth planning.

For our retirement plan clients, Mariner Wealth Advisors strengthens our CEFEX-certified retirement plan solutions team,  offering participants educational support to help them save for retirement and offering plan sponsors ERISA-compliant plan design, review and recommendations. The retirement team also offers comprehensive support for plan administration to help ensure employers meet ERISA and other plan requirements. We’re excited to share our expanded retirement plan resources with your Retirement Plan Committee.

Consistent Client Service

The team you have always worked with will continue to provide the same level of attention and service you deserve and have come to expect from the same office location.

We are very excited to become a part of Mariner Wealth Advisors. You have trusted us for years, and we’ve been honored by that trust. We ask that you trust us again, knowing that we are very thoughtfully proceeding with your best interests in mind.
