The Federal Retirement Cliff: A Trillion-Dollar Opportunity
Over 40% of the federal civil service workforce is eligible for immediate retirement over the next 3 to 5 years. Yet fewer than 3% of licensed financial advisors possess certified expertise in OPM pensions and TSP rollover compliance.
Silver Tsunami in Government
Between the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, and postal branches, hundreds of thousands of career civil servants are preparing their retirement paperwork every single quarter.
Massive TSP Balances
With 30-year compounding and government matching, senior GS-12 through GS-15 employees routinely accumulate between $400,000 and $1,500,000+ in their Thrift Savings Plan accounts awaiting private management.
Severe Knowledge Void
Government HR departments explicitly cannot give financial or rollover advice. Federal workers turn to outside advisors, but run away when generalist advisors don't know what an SF-50 or FEGLI Option B means.
