Retirement FAQs for Employees of Traveler's

For many employees of Traveler's, we understand there can be a gap between the information that HR and retirement plan providers give to you and the information you need to fully comprehend the sum of your benefits.

We're here to close the gap

How do you coordinate my entire financial life — from taxes and estate planning to my complex investments — in one place?

Farther acts as your wealth’s central hub. Our unified platform brings all your accounts together, while your dedicated advisor orchestrates your investment, tax, and estate strategies. The result is a seamless, proactive, and fully coordinated approach to managing every part of your financial life.

How do I know my information and my wealth are safe on Farther’s platform?

Farther’s platform uses advanced encryption, continuous monitoring, and a proprietary vault architecture engineered for maximum data integrity. Backed by leading global tech investors like Alphabet’s CapitalG, our systems are designed and vetted to keep your wealth safe.

How does your proprietary technology enhance, rather than replace, human investment expertise?

Our technology amplifies — not replaces — human expertise. The platform manages daily precision tasks, freeing your advisor to focus on strategy and nuance. This blend of advanced automation and human insight ensures your wealth benefits from both innovation and personal guidance.

As a fiduciary, how are your investment incentives legally aligned with my personal success?

Farther advisors act in your best interest and are fiduciaries. We’ve eliminated commissions to remove conflicts and use a simple, transparent fee structure. Our growth depends directly on your success—we thrive only when your wealth does.

What is the first step, and what should I expect during my complimentary consultation?

We’ll start with a 20-minute discovery call. It’s a low-pressure talk to see if our expertise matches your goals. We’ll discuss your story, identify gaps, and determine if we’re the right fit. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of our process and no obligation to move forward. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident in your next financial steps.
