Renowned ERISA authority will lead Prime Capital Retirement’s fiduciary and ERISA practice

Fred Reish joins Prime Capital Financial’s retirement practice as one of the nation’s most respected authorities on ERISA, fiduciary governance, and retirement plan regulation.

Reish has spent his career advising plan sponsors, financial institutions and fiduciaries on some of the most complex issues in the retirement plan landscape. Most recently a longtime partner at top 50 law firm Faegre Drinker in their benefits, executive compensation and investment management groups, Reish is widely regarded for his deep technical knowledge. Reish brings to Prime Capital Retirement a rare level of experience in fiduciary standards, prohibited transactions, plan design and retirement income strategies, as well as for his extensive experience representing clients before federal regulatory agencies.

“Fred’s decision to align with our organization is one of the strongest validations for what we are building,” said Jania Stout, president of Prime Capital Retirement and Wellness. “I am personally honored that Fred chose to join us. His qualifications and experience will be extraordinary assets for our clients and advisors, giving them direct access to one of the most respected minds in our industry.”

“Having a titan like Fred join us is one of the most impactful additions the RIA retirement space has ever seen,” said Scott Colangelo, chairman of Prime Capital Financial. “On a personal level, it is the greatest honor of my career to work alongside someone who has been my most influential mentor.”

Reish will serve as the director of fiduciary and ERISA practice. He will guide Prime Capital Retirement’s fully integrated approach to plan-sponsor support, combining fiduciary oversight, plan design guidance, and participant-level financial wellness under one coordinated platform.

“Joining Prime Capital Retirement feels like a natural next step in my career, largely because of the deep relationships I’ve had with many members of this team for so many years,” said Reish. “I have long admired their integrity, their commitment to clients, and their leadership within the retirement plan industry. The opportunity to work closely with Jania Stout and Scott Colangelo is meaningful to me, and I’m excited about what we’ll accomplish together. It’s a real opportunity for me to formalize a partnership with people I trust and respect, and I look forward to contributing to the important work ahead as we help plan sponsors, advisors and participants navigate an evolving retirement landscape.”

Beyond his advisory work, Reish is a nationally recognized author, speaker and industry thought leader whose guidance has helped shape modern retirement plan practices. He has written extensively on fiduciary responsibility, consulted on major ERISA litigation and arbitration matters, and played an influential role in the development of retirement income products and compliance frameworks. His contributions have earned him numerous industry honors and solidified his reputation as one of the most trusted voices in the retirement and benefits community.

“We are beyond excited to welcome someone of Fred Reish’s caliber and industry-shaping impact to our organization,” said Glenn Spencer, chief executive officer of Prime Capital Financial. “Fred joins us after a prolific legal career and is widely regarded as a true thought leader in the retirement plan industry. He will play a key strategic role in guiding our growth and will bring tremendous value to our clients, helping them solve challenges and consider innovative new solutions. His arrival strengthens our position as a leader in fiduciary excellence, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on our team.”
