Thiago Glieger, CFP®, ChFEBC

Retiring from a career in federal service means facing more questions and complexities than the average retirement.

What sounds like government jargon to others, I work with every day. I understand intimately just how your FERS benefits drive the foundation of your financial security in retirement, creating a ripple effect well beyond your service years. At RMG Advisors, I lead our team of planners in helping you navigate the financial and personal choices faced throughout retirement.

Getting it right is critical, requiring a deeper understanding than run-of-the-mill financial planning knowledge offers. For context, around 30% of financial advisors achieve the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designation, which involves one of the industry’s most rigorous testing and ongoing education requirements. Roughly half are true, fee-only (commission-free) advisors. Fewer still are also Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant℠ (ChFEBC℠) professionals who understand how FERS integrates with a complete financial plan.

That’s the intersection where I specialize. I stay at the forefront of advanced planning strategies for dedicated, career-driven federal employees like you. I’ve spent years presenting at federal agencies as a dedicated retirement and FERS benefits advisor. While those in-agency days are behind me, I still contribute as a monthly guest on the Federal News Network radio and publish regularly on my YouTube Channel.

My work on federal retirement concepts has also appeared in Bloomberg, WTOP, Federal News Network, FedSmith, FEDWeek, MyFederalRetirement, Military Times, Federal Times, and other outlets.

Happiest outside, usually cycling or hiking.

If I weren’t an advisor, I’d open a restaurant.

Quite handy, but regret saying ‘how hard could that be’ every time.
