A Retirement Plan
Worth Living
And a Legacy
Worth Leaving
Hershey, Pennsylvania, has been our home for more than 30 years, and the clients we serve come from here and across the country. We take the time to understand your situation fully before recommending anything and stay involved long after the accounts are opened.
What We Do
More Than
Investment Management
We do more than manage your investments. Our goal is to cultivate and care for your assets in ways that support the retirement you want and the estate plan that carries your intentions forward. Behavioral Investment Counseling runs through all of it, helping you understand your strategy well enough to stay committed when markets become uncomfortable.
Who We Help
Those Who Think Past Retirement
We work with individuals and families who have spent their careers building significant financial resources and are ready to approach both their retirement income and their estate with a level of planning those resources deserve.
Pre-Retirees and Retirees
Individuals within 10 years of retirement, or already there, focused on building income that lasts for decades.
Business Owners
Owners building toward an exit who need their personal retirement and business succession aligned.
Executives and Professionals
Corporate executives and medical professionals managing complex financial situations who want coordinated, long-term guidance.
Families
Multigenerational families prioritizing estate efficiency and transferring wealth to the people they care about most.
How We Help
Our Areas of Focus
We focus on the financial decisions involved in building retirement income, managing investments, and transferring wealth to the people who matter most. Each of those areas influences the others, which is why we address them together rather than in isolation.
Retirement Income Planning
Turning your savings into income that grows alongside inflation and supports the life you want for decades to come.
Investment Management
Customized, equity-focused portfolios built around your specific retirement horizon, income needs, and tolerance for short-term fluctuation.
Behavioral Investment Counseling
Ongoing guidance that helps clients understand the reasoning behind their plan well enough to hold it through volatile markets confidently.
Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer
Protecting what you've built and transferring it to the people you care about most in the way you intend.

"My husband and I have been working with Steve Stackhouse of Hershey Retirement Solutions since we were in our mid-20s, and now that we're in our early 50s, we can truly appreciate the value of his guidance and expertise. Steve has been a trusted advisor through every stage of our financial journey, helping us make informed decisions and stay focused on our long-term goals.
He takes the time to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and he genuinely cares about helping his clients prepare for the future. Thanks to Steve's knowledge, professionalism, and steady guidance, we feel confident that we are as prepared as possible for retirement and whatever lies ahead.
We highly recommend Steve and the entire staff at Hershey Retirement Solutions to anyone looking for a financial planner who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed to their clients' success."
