Hunt Valley-based PSA Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and national retirement program consulting firm The PFE Group, a United Capital Financial Partners Company, today announced a strategic partnership to unite the companies' fiduciary consulting practices.

The alliance merges two industry leaders in retirement plan consulting services to advise a combined portfolio of employer retirement plans with assets exceeding $10 billion. With this strategic partnership, PFE and PSA's Fiduciary Consulting Group (FCG) clients will have access to greater resources, forward-thinking solutions, unprecedented client services, and a cadre of the most respected, deeply experienced leaders within the industry.
