Four Integrated Disciplines

At most firms, these are separate practices. At Curcio Webb, they are one.

Retirement, Health & Welfare, Investment Programs, and Actuarial. Most firms treat these as distinct service lines – different teams, different relationships, different conversations. Every discipline overlaps. This is why we operate as one firm, not four.

Curcio Webb was founded as one company across four disciplines because the decisions that move plan costs and participant outcomes rarely live inside a single service area. Each discipline was built to inform the others.

Every discipline overlaps. Which is why we built one firm, not four.

01 / 04

Retirement

Competitive RFP management and benchmarking for DC plan administration (401(k), 403(b), 457(b)), DB pension administration, financial wellness services, stock plan and equity administration, and nonqualified deferred compensation.

How this connects

Retirement decisions live inside a wider plan ecosystem – investment lineup, trust and custody, actuarial liabilities, communications. Our retirement specialists work natively with that full context, because at Curcio Webb the disciplines are not separate practices.

02 / 04

Health & Welfare

Provider search, evaluation, and benchmarking for benefits administration platforms, broker and consultant services, health insurance exchanges, and pharmacy consulting.

How this connects

H&W decisions touch enrollment infrastructure, fiduciary obligations on H&W investment accounts, and the broader benefits experience. Our H&W specialists bring that full perspective into every engagement – it is the way one integrated firm works, not an escalation path.

Explore Discipline
03 / 04

Investment Programs

Provider searches, evaluations, and fiduciary monitoring across OCIOs, investment consultants, specialist advisors, trust and custody providers, and in-plan annuity providers.

How this connects

Investment programs intersect with pension liabilities, recordkeeping architecture, and trust and custody arrangements. Our investment specialists carry that integrated view into every search and monitoring engagement – the connections are not coordinated across teams; they are how we think.

Explore Discipline
04 / 04

Actuarial

Actuarial consultant search, benchmarking, and special projects for large plan sponsors, and direct actuarial consulting services for smaller plans.

How this connects

Actuarial work is woven into investment policy, plan administration, and provider strategy. Our actuarial specialists operate with that full picture from day one – because the value of Curcio Webb is one firm where these disciplines are intrinsically connected, not parallel tracks that occasionally meet.

Our Principles

What Sets
Us Apart

Markets change. Providers change. Our foundation does not.

01

Stewardship

We are stewards to our clients, their providers, and our colleagues. For clients, that means delivering the right answer, not the comfortable one. For providers, it means fair and rigorous evaluation processes they can trust. For colleagues, it means work worth putting our name on.

What this means for you

Plan sponsors retain us because they need an advisor whose judgment holds across every relationship the engagement touches.

02

Independence

We are paid only by our clients and accept no other forms of compensation. That zero-conflict structure is rare in this industry – and it is what ensures our work answers to one party: the plan sponsor.

What this means for you

When we deliver our findings, plan sponsors know what produced them: our analysis, not a financial arrangement with any provider. As an employee-owned firm, that independence extends to our ownership structure – no parent company, no outside investor, no institutional interest shaping what we put in front of a client.

03

Integrity

Integrity means our findings reflect what the data shows, not what a client hopes to hear. We build work products that hold up under scrutiny – from plan committees, legal review, and regulators – and we stand behind our conclusions when they are challenged.

What this means for you

The value of our judgment depends entirely on its honesty. Plan sponsors know what we deliver reflects our genuine assessment of the facts.

Our Team

The People Behind the Work

Our consultants bring decades of experience from both sides of the table – as advisors to plan sponsors and as leaders within the providers we evaluate.
