Deep Expertise.
Independent Perspective.
A Practice Built Around You.
Retirement Wealth Partners was founded on a simple belief: that clients who have spent decades building wealth deserve an advisor who is fully focused on helping them protect, optimize, and enjoy it — without the constraints of a large institution standing in the way.
Katherine lives and works in Southport, Connecticut — and serves clients who understand firsthand that a high income and a substantial balance sheet are not the same as financial security. The planning required to retire well is more complex than most people anticipate: the tax decisions, withdrawal sequences, healthcare costs, and estate considerations that converge in the years surrounding retirement demand exactly the kind of focused, coordinated expertise her practice was built to deliver. Retirement Wealth Partners exists to ensure that the wealth her clients have spent decades building is protected, optimized, and available to be fully enjoyed.
Outside of work, Katherine lives with her husband and their three children. She is an avid traveler — drawn to new places, great food, and wine worth remembering. Summers are spent at the beach and playing tennis; winters on the ski slopes. She is raising her children to see the world as something to be explored — a value that shapes both how she lives and how she thinks about what a well-planned retirement should actually look like.
Meet Our Founder
Katherine Fibiger, CFP®, RICP® — Founder & Wealth Advisor
Katherine Fibiger has spent more than two decades helping high-income professionals, business owners, and retirees navigate the financial decisions that define their retirement. Her career began at a large financial services firm, where she built the technical foundation and client relationship depth that now characterize her practice before she made a deliberate and considered move toward independence.
That move was intentional. After years within large institutional environments, Katherine came to a clear conclusion: genuinely tailored advice requires freedom from the constraints that define them. No firm quotas. No product shelf to sell from. No priorities other than the client's. She founded Retirement Wealth Partners to practice on those terms, and has never looked back.
Katherine holds two of the most rigorous credentials in retirement planning, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) and the Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designations. The RICP® reflects advanced, specialized expertise in Social Security optimization, tax-efficient distribution strategies, and sustainable retirement income planning—the precise disciplines that matter most in the years surrounding retirement, when decisions carry the greatest consequence. She is also a recipient of the Women's Choice Award® for Financial Advisors, recognizing her commitment to quality service for women clients, professional couples, and families navigating the financial complexity that comes with success.
"Our clients have spent decades making smart decisions to build their wealth. Our job is to make sure the next chapter is just as deliberate — so that every dollar works exactly the way it should, and nothing is left to chance."
