A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Preferred Retirement Options, Inc

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Preferred Retirement Options, Inc or one who fits your needs even better.

Preferred Retirement Options serves primarily individual clients and sponsors of corporate retirement plans, offering personalized financial planning, education, and advisory services. The firm acts as a secondary advisor to a third-party manager and also provides standalone services such as a negotiable flat-fee portfolio analysis (MRI) and public educational seminars and workshops. The firm operates under a co-advisory agreement with Matson Money, which Matson Money handles discretionary investment management, trading, reporting, and custodian reconciliations while Preferred Retirement Options maintains the client relationship, assists with suitability and allocation, and conducts annual reviews. Preferred Retirement Options reports no discretionary assets under management and relies on Matson Money to debit and remit advisory fees and to implement investment strategies on client accounts. Distinctive elements in the brochure include that four of the five investment advisor representatives are licensed insurance agents and devote substantial portions of their time to that activity (approximately 40% for James T. Hancock and Aaron Davis, 70% for Olin K. Barkdull, and 60% for Vern Barkdull), a practice disclosed as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also emphasizes ongoing client coaching through workshops and seminars, offers the low-cost MRI service, and discloses use of endorsements in its advertising—features the brochure presents that are less common among comparable team firms.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
