University Retirement Plans
Guidance for Employees of Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Other Colleges and Universities
Your employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as 401(a), 403(b), and 457 plans, are often among the most significant pieces of your long-term financial future. At DartBank Wealth, we help ensure those assets are thoughtfully managed alongside your broader financial plan, so you can retire with greater confidence and control.
With nearly 30 years of experience, we’ve had the privilege of working with numerous faculty, staff, and physicians from top institutions across Michigan.
