John Jurik, Gallagher’s national practice leader for retirement plan consulting, said that “autonomy was a key factor” in the decision to consolidate most of its major business lines, including the more than 2,000 retirement plans overseen by the firm.
“A hybrid model – with Gallagher Fiduciary Advisors LLC as the [registered investment advisor] and Triad Advisors as the broker-dealer – provides flexibility to grow our financial planning practice,” said Jurik.

In addition, Gallagher is an investment advisor/consultant with respect to 156 clients for 195 pools of assets totaling $76.1 billion.
“Gallagher leadership’s decades of experience shepherding corporate clients, financial planning clients and potential merger partners to their goals brings incredible value to our network…,” said Michael Gatti, vice president of business development at Triad.
Gallagher Fiduciary Advisors is a subsidiary of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE: AJG), a global insurance brokerage, risk management, and consulting services firm.
