Riley Planning & Investments has helped more than 500 West Michigan families prepare for and live in retirement, and we strive to set a high standard for every client we serve. As fiduciaries, we are committed to thoughtful, client-focused guidance grounded in transparency, discipline and a long-term perspective. Our approach begins with understanding each client’s goals, circumstances and values, and then designing a financial plan and investment strategy built to support those priorities over time.
We believe effective retirement planning goes beyond investment management alone. With a background in tax preparation, our team brings tax awareness into every recommendation. By coordinating investments, retirement income, Social Security, tax strategy and estate planning, we help clients make confident decisions with their whole financial life in view.
Our investment approach is active, not static. We monitor interest rates, inflation, energy prices and global markets, and we adjust portfolios as conditions change. Alongside a disciplined mix of stocks and bonds, we may include funds that provide exposure to gold, silver or oil when they fit a client’s plan, adding another layer of diversification that many traditional portfolios overlook.
Many people near retirement have watched their longtime advisor retire and hand them off to a stranger. Jenna and Patrick are both under 50, and are building RPI to be here for the next 30 years of your plan and beyond. That covers your first retirement paycheck, every decision along the way, and someday helping your children and grandchildren carry on what you built. Some of their clients came to them just before retirement. Others had been retired for ten years or more and realized they deserved better guidance. Either way, it's never too late to have a plan that fits.
One flat advisory fee covers investment management and the planning that goes with it. It is based on the assets we manage, and it declines as those assets grow. Jenna and Patrick act as your fiduciary, so you are paying for the advice, not for a product. Retirement income, Social Security, tax strategy, cash flow, and estate decisions are part of the relationship. So is coordination with your CPA and attorney.
Jenna and Patrick work with individuals and families who are planning for retirement—or already retired. From helping more than 500 local families prepare for retirement to partnering with some of the region's largest employers, their experience runs deep. Whether you've changed jobs, are thinking about retiring, or have already started retirement, RPI can help.
Jenna and Patrick left Voya Financial to build an independent firm focused entirely on their clients. They help families across Michigan and have worked with some of the state’s largest employers. That dual experience is their edge: they know how to serve people and their individual investments, as well as the large group plans they retire through.
Behind the scenes, RPI is supported by Cetera, one of the nation’s largest networks of independent financial advisors. Cetera has more than $590 billion in assets under administration. That gives you the personal attention of a local, family-run firm, backed by the resources of a national network.
