The Asteri Collective, a national alliance of independent Retirement Plan Consulting firms, announces the addition of Michelle Marsh, President and Chief Visionary Officer of Retirement Plan Concepts & Services, Inc, as one of its new members. This further strengthens The Asteri Collective’s position as a central force shaping the future of retirement plan consulting. 

RPCSI brings decades of experience, deep technical specialization, and a shared commitment to high-touch service, rigorous compliance, and precision plan design. 

A Shared Vision for the Future of the Industry 

“RPCSI is excited to become a member of The Asteri Collective because we feel it unites our firm with like-minded retirement plan consulting firms focused on innovation, collaboration, and elevating the role of the Retirement Plan Consultant. We can deliver better outcomes for plan sponsors, advisors, and participants by leveraging shared expertise, advancing technology, and driving the future of retirement consulting. I have always believed in our industry that we are stronger  together.”   - Michelle Marsh, President and Chief Visionary Officer of Retirement Plan Concepts & Services, Inc. 

Why This Matters 

As automation and consolidation continue to shape the retirement industry, the role of the Retirement Plan Consultant has never been more critical. The Asteri Collective affirms that innovation, technology-forward thinking and human expertise can be combined to create the future of retirement planning. We call ourselves RPCs instead of TPAs because what we do is not simply administration. We are partners, advisors, and architects of retirement solutions. 

Collaborative by Design 

Each member firm remains independently owned and operated, while aligned under a shared vision of a tech-enabled, relationship-driven future powered by better data, smarter collaboration, and hands-on expertise. The Asteri Collective serves as a platform for leadership throughout the retirement ecosystem, including recordkeepers, advisors, DCIOs, broker-dealers, and plan sponsors.
