Financial Planning redefined for educators! Our motto is to: "Educate the Educators!" ATRS entered the education market for one simple reason, there was no company or individual financial advisor informing teachers of their financial future with their best interest at heart. Each year more and more educators are forced back into the job market due to financial hardships brought on by shortcomings in their state retirement system. Sadly, many of these obstacles could have been easily overcome before retiring. After giving your best and making countless sacrifices you deserve to enjoy retirement on your terms. Many school districts, both independent and charter, already trust ATRS to provide outstanding financial services to their employees.
