Navigate 401K
Guide the journey

We look out for your people at every step.

A great plan is only the beginning. From a first paycheck deferral to the day someone retires, we're the guide beside every participant — with real education, real people, and wealth solutions ready when they need more.

Value from day one
Real people A named team a participant can actually reach — not a call center or a chatbot.
1-on-1s Personal meetings at no cost, so every saver gets advice built around their situation.
Monthly Live webinars on the topics savers ask about most — free to attend or watch later.
Beyond Wealth solutions ready for the moment a participant needs more than the plan alone.
The gap we close

Most savers have never had a guide.

Financial advice has historically been built around people who already have money. Most participants in a 401(k) plan have never had a conversation with an advisor at all — and that is exactly the gap this model exists to close.

Under $40k

Third-party figures are cited per stat above and reflect the referenced reports as of their publication; survey results vary by methodology and year. The $250k figure is illustrative of common private-wealth account minimums and is not attributed to a single firm or source. These figures frame an industry problem and are not a guarantee of any outcome.

The participant model

Advice as part of the plan, not an upsell.

Enrollment meetings, one-on-one sessions, and a real person to call — delivered to the whole workforce, from the newest hire to the executive team.

Group education plus individual sessions at no cost to participants
Plain-language guidance on deferral rates, allocation, and rollovers
A fiduciary standard applied to the lineup behind every default
TrailGuide

And the guidance continues past the plan.

TrailGuide carries the same mission into personal wealth advice — built for savers with $25,000–$300,000 in investable assets, the exact people the industry tends to route to a call center.

No one in your workforce gets told they are too small to help.

When the plan isn't enough

Wealth solutions for whatever comes next.

Some savers need more than a plan account — a rollover managed, a household's full picture planned. We have a fit for both, and we only recommend them when they're genuinely in the participant's best interest.

Always in the participant's best interest

Every recommendation we make is held to a fiduciary standard — what's right for the saver, not what pays us most. That's the thread through the entire journey, from the plan itself to the day someone rolls over or retires.
