About Us

Over 50 years ago, GLP started as a family-owned business that focused on the retirement needs of educators.

We set out to help educators make their retirement goals a reality. We knew what it could mean for their futures. And we believed if we put their needs first, everything would work out for us.

So much has changed for us over the last 50 years. GLP has evolved from a niche financial firm into a full-service financial group that’s equipped to help anyone do the right things for their financial future. But one thing has never changed. We continue to put our clients first.

Some of our clients want to retire as soon as possible. Others want to work well past retirement age. We take the time to understand who our clients are and what matters most to them. By focusing on their needs, we’re able to help our clients make progress toward their financial goals immediately.

Sometimes, our clients come to us skeptical that they will retire with confidence. The driving force of everything we do is education. Our job is to present the facts about the different tools and strategies our clients can use to get from where they are to where they want to go.

Knowledge is power, and it’s our commitment to client education that we believe has allowed us to become the largest independent provider of retirement services for educators in the marketplace.

What we want everyone to know that they can make a big difference in their retirement, and they can start today. Through our broad array of vetted investment products and services, we’re equipped to help everyone achieve their financial goals at every stage of life.

Our Philosophy

Our guiding principles are our promises kept and provide the framework for our client satisfaction. Our commitment to client education is the driving force behind everything we do. We educate our clients on how to plan for, preserve and work toward fulfilling their unique retirement needs.

We truly believe that knowledge is power. The most important answers are to the questions you didn’t know to ask. With our extensive knowledge of public retirement systems and individual investment options we provide clients with the information they need to make intelligent decisions about their financial futures.

We believe that our client-centered philosophy has enabled us to grow to be one of the top independent providers of financial products and services in the education and not-for-profit markets. Our business is vested with a public confidence.
