Services

Sanford Advisory Services is proud to provide administrative and consulting services for the WMU retirement plan to all employees. For over 20 years we have been involved with the WMU retirement plan. In 1987, SDMG Investment Advisory Services was hired by WMU. Since then, the plan has transferred in succession to Sledrunner Advisory Services and now to Sanford Advisory Services. Rest assured that, while there has been a name change, the primary managers of the plan have not changed.
