Description of Advisory Services
The following are descriptions of the primary advisory services of B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors. Please
understand that a written agreement, which details the exact terms of the service, must be signed by you
and B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors before we can provide you the services described below.
Investment Management Services - B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors provides ongoing discretionary and
non-discretionary investment management services to individuals, families and businesses. B.O.S.S.
Retirement Advisors may manage accounts jointly with another investment advisory firm, AE Wealth
Management, LLC (AEWM), located in Topeka, KS, or may refer investment management engagements
to third party managers or platform providers.
When managing accounts jointly with AEWM, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors can access model portfolios,
model managers, strategists, third party money managers, and trading services through AEWM’s
managed account program. As part of the AEWM program, clients are asked to grant us and AEWM
discretion to select third party, non-affiliated investment managers (“Model Managers”) to design and
manage model portfolios for client assets. For accounts managed under this arrangement, we provide
clients with a copy of AEWM’s disclosure brochure which contains a detailed description of AEWM’s
services.
When referring accounts to third party managers or platform providers, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors acts
as the liaison between the client and the applicable third party manager or platform provider in return for
an ongoing portion of the overall advisory fees charged. Specifically, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors helps
clients assess appropriateness of participating in programs, conduct risk profile analysis, and develop
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC

Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
investment objectives. The firm also helps clients complete the necessary paperwork, provides ongoing
oversight of the applicable third party manager or platform provider, provides the applicable third party
manager or platform provider with any changes in client status as communicated to B.O.S.S. Retirement
Advisors by the client, and reviews the quarterly statements and other reports provided by the third party
manager or platform provider.
Investment management services are tailored to the individual needs of a particular client (whether an
individual, a family, or a business) through an assessment conducted prior to an engagement. Clients
may impose restrictions related to the level of discretion granted, the types of investments used, etc.
Terms of an actual engagement, including description of service, limitations and restrictions, fees, etc.,
are all detailed before any engagement begins in a written client agreement.
Because the firm is a registered investment adviser, we are required to meet certain fiduciary standards
when providing investment advice to clients. Additionally, when we provide investment advice related to
a retirement plan account or an individual retirement account, we are considered fiduciaries within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. As such, we are required to act in your best
interest and not put our interest ahead of yours, even though our compensation creates some conflicts
with your interests in that the more you have us manage, the more we can earn. Our clients however are
under no obligation to use services recommended by our associated persons. Furthermore, we believe
that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients and are consistent with our clients’
needs.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors may also at its discretion provide supplemental financial planning or
consulting services as part of an investment management engagement. Supplemental services may
address areas such as Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, Tax Planning,
Education Planning, Portfolios Review, Asset Allocation, and Real Estate Planning. Although we may
provide this assistance on a complimentary basis, client are responsible for determining whether or not to
implement a recommendation and if they decide to do so, are responsible for implementation and
ongoing monitoring.
Wrap Fee Programs
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors’ does not sponsor any wrap fee programs. However, AEWM and/or its
third party managers may offer such a program. Details about these programs are available in the
applicable firm’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochure.

management, all of which was managed on a discretionary basis.

details regarding our firm’s services along with descriptions of each service’s fees and compensation
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC

Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
arrangements. It should be noted that lower fees for comparable service may be available from other
sources. The exact fees and other terms will be outlined in the agreement between you and B.O.S.S.
Retirement Advisors.
Investment Management Services
Fees charged for investment management services are negotiable based upon the type of client, the
services requested, the investment adviser representative providing advice, the complexity of the client's
situation, the composition of the client's account, other advisory services provided and the relationship of
the client and the investment adviser representative. As mentioned in Item 4 above, the firm may at its
discretion provide supplemental financial planning or consulting services on a complementary basis.
The following are the fee arrangements available for investment management services offered by
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors.
Fees for AEWM Co-Managed Accounts
For accounts that are managed on a sub-advisory basis with AEWM, fees are generally charged in
arrears based on the total account size at the end of the applicable period at a rate negotiated on a case
by case basis depending on the engagement. A portion of the fee will be paid to AEWM, and a portion
will be paid to B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors.
The firm’s fee for accounts managed with AEWM is 1.75% annually unless otherwise specified.
Fees are generally deducted directly from client accounts on a monthly basis. Services provided through
AEWM’s managed account program are offered both on a non-wrap fee basis and through a wrap fee
program. If a client chooses to receive services on a non-wrap fee basis, the client will be responsible for
separate commissions, ticket charges, and custodian fees for the execution of transactions in the
account. These charges (if applicable) will be in addition to any investment management fee that is paid
to AEWM and to our firm. If a client chooses to receive services through the wrap fee program, the client
will only pay fees based on assets under management and will not pay a separate commission, ticket
charge, or custodian fee, for the execution of transactions in the account.
Details about services, fees, wrap programs and other expenses of AEWM and or its third party
managers are available in the applicable firm’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochure.
Fees for Third-Party Managed Accounts
A complete description of a third-party money manager’s or platform provider’s services, fee schedules
and account minimums will be disclosed in the applicable disclosure brochure which will be provided to
you prior to or at the time an agreement for services is executed and the account is established.
When referred by B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, the overall investment advisory fee charged to you by a
third party manager or platform provider will not exceed 2% annually. The applicable third party manager
or platform provider will retain between 50 basis points (0.50%) and 90 basis points (0.90%) of the
overall investment advisory fee (depending on the total amount of client assets that B.O.S.S. Retirement
Advisors has referred to the manager or platform provider). B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors will determine
the remaining portion of the investment advisory fee that the third party manager or platform provider will
charge the client, and this portion will be paid by the third party manager or platform provider to B.O.S.S.
Retirement Advisors. The portion of the annual investment advisory fee charged by the third party
manager or platform provider but determined by B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors is negotiable dependent
upon amount of assets managed. All fees are calculated and collected by the applicable third party
manager or platform provider who will be responsible for delivering our portion of the fee paid by you to
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC
Page 6
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
us. The fees charged by the applicable third party manager or platform provider will generally be charged
in advance and in most instances will be deducted directly from your account. Please refer to your client
agreement with the applicable third party manager or platform provider as well as their disclosure
brochure for details about services, fees, wrap programs and other expenses.
Under this program, you may incur additional charges including but not limited to, mutual fund sales
loads, 12b-1 fees and surrender charges and IRA and qualified retirement plan fees.
We have a conflict of interest by only offering a limited number of third-party managers or platform
providers that have agreed to pay a portion of their advisory fee to us and met the conditions of our due
diligence review. There may be other third-party money managers or platform providers that may be
suitable for you that may be more or less costly. No guarantees can be made that your financial goals or
objectives will be achieved. Further, no guarantees of performance can be offered.
Supplemental Financial Planning and Consulting Services
As mentioned in Item 4 above, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors may at its discretion provide supplemental
financial planning or consulting services on a complementary basis.
Your investment adviser representative in his or her separate capacity as an insurance agent may
suggest that you implement recommendations of B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors by purchasing disability
insurance, life insurance, annuities, or other insurance products. Your investment adviser representative
may receive commissions in its capacity as an insurance agent. This receipt of commissions creates an
incentive for the representative to recommend those products for which your investment adviser
representative will receive a commission in his or her separate capacity as an insurance agent, rather
than on a client’s needs. Consequently, the advice rendered to you could be biased. To prevent conflicts
of interest, we have developed written supervisory procedures that prohibit our investment adviser
representatives from preferring their own interests to that of the client. Any associated person not
observing our policies is subject to sanctions up to and including termination.
You are under no obligation to implement any insurance or annuity transaction through your investment
adviser representative. (Please refer to Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations for
more details.)
Other Fees or Expenses
Due to our other financial industry activities and or affiliations, you may incur additional fees or expenses
in connection with our services. This can create a conflict of interest and can create an incentive for our
investment adviser representatives to recommended investment products based on the compensation
received rather than the client’s needs. As previously indicated, to prevent conflicts of interest, we have
developed written supervisory procedures that prohibit our investment adviser representatives from
preferring their own interests to that of the client. Any associated person not observing our policies is
subject to sanctions up to and including termination. Clients have the option to purchase recommended
products through other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors.
Please see Item 10 for more information and additional details.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC

Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Performance-based fees are defined as fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation
of the assets held in a client’s account. Item 6 is not applicable to this Disclosure Brochure because we
do not charge or accept performance-based fees and therefore do not engage in side-by-side
management.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors generally provides investment advice to the following types of clients:
Individuals
High net worth individuals
Pension and profit sharing plans
Trusts, estates, or charitable organizations
Corporations or business entities other than those listed above
Minimum Investment Amounts Required
The minimum fixed fee generally charged for financial planning services on a fixed fee basis is $500.
The minimum fixed fee generally charged for consulting services is $250.
Third-party money managers and platform providers may have minimum account and minimum fee
requirements in order to participate in their programs. Each-third party money manager or platform
provider will disclose its minimum account size and fees in its Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure.
However, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors generally requires a minimum of $7,000 in order to refer a client to
a third-party money manager or platform provider. To reach this minimum, a client can aggregate all
household accounts. Exceptions may be granted to this minimum for family member and in anticipation
additional assets for referral.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors provides investment management services using AEWM, third party
managers, and other program providers. For information about methods of analysis used by any of these
entities, please refer to that entity’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochure for additional details.
Investment Strategies
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors’ general investment strategy is to attempt to reduce risk and volatility by
building diversified portfolios though the use of third party managers and program providers. Each client
completes paperwork that documents their objectives, assets and desired investment strategy. The
investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the client during
consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. For information about strategies
offered by our outside providers, please refer to that entity’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochure for additional
details.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC
Page 8
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Risk of Loss
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, you should never assume that future
performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities
(including stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, etc.) involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different
types of investments there may be varying degrees of risk. You should be prepared to bear investment
loss including loss of original principal.
Due to the inherent risk of loss associated with investing, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors is unable to
represent, guarantee, or even imply that services and methods of analysis used by third-party providers
can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses
due to market corrections or declines.
Information about risks associate with third party providers can be found in the applicable party’s
disclosure brochure, which is available on request.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to the evaluation of the firm or the integrity of its management.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors is currently not subject to, nor has ever been subject to, any reportable
legal or disciplinary events.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors is an independent investment adviser and only provides investment
advisory services. The firm does not engage in any other business activities and offer no other services
except those described in this Disclosure Brochure. However, while we do not sell products or services
other than investment advice, our representatives may sell other products or provide services outside of
their role as investment adviser representatives with us. Clients should be aware that our associated
persons have a conflict of interest in that they will generally only recommend insurance products of those
companies for whom the associated persons are sales agents and with which the associated persons are
familiar with the benefits, exclusions and other terms.
Insurance Activities
You may work with your investment adviser representative in his or her separate capacity as an
insurance agent of B.O.S.S. Retirement Solutions. When acting in his or her separate capacity as an
insurance agent, the investment adviser representative may sell, for commissions, general disability
insurance, life insurance, annuities, and other insurance products to you through our insurance agency.
As such, your investment adviser representative in his or her separate capacity as an insurance agent,
may suggest that you implement recommendations of B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors by purchasing
disability insurance, life insurance, annuities, or other insurance products. This receipt of commissions
and other compensation creates an incentive for the representative to recommend those products for
which your investment adviser representative will receive compensation in his or her separate capacity
as an insurance agent. Consequently, the advice rendered to you could be biased. You are under no
obligation to implement any insurance or annuity transaction through your investment adviser
representative or B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors or B.O.S.S. Retirement Solutions.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC

Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Third-Party Money Managers and Platform Providers
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors has developed a program, previously described in Items 4 & 5 of this
disclosure brochure, designed to allow us to recommend a third-party money manager or platform provider
for you. Once you select the third-party money manager or platform provider to manage all or a portion of
your assets, the third-party money manager will pay us a portion of the fees you are charged in the form of
a referral fee. Please refer to Items 4 and 5 for full details regarding the programs, fees, conflicts of interest
and material arrangements when B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors selects other investment advisers.
Real Estate Activities
Ryan Thacker, an investment adviser representative with B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, is also a licensed
real estate agent in the State of Utah. He will receive separate compensation when providing these
services. Clients needing assistance with real estate services will be referred to him but are not obligated
to use his services.

Advisors, are Managing Partners of Infinity Publishing. The company’s mission is to research financial
and retirement topics and publish articles and materials to help consumers improve understanding of
these topic
Infinity Marketing Services, LLC
Tyson Thacker is a co-owner of Infinity Marketing Services, LLC, which provides marketing services.
Mr. Thacker devotes less than one hour per month to this business.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Summary
An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and has a fiduciary duty to all clients. The B.O.S.S.
Retirement Advisors Code of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary duties and responsibilities to clients,
and details practices for reviewing the personal securities transactions of supervised persons with
access to client information. The Code also requires compliance with applicable securities laws,
addresses insider trading, and details possible disciplinary measures for violations. If you wish to
review the Code of Ethics in its entirety, you may contact our Chief Compliance Officer for a copy of the
Code of Ethics.
Trading Conflicts of Interest
Individuals associated with B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors are permitted to buy or sell securities for their
personal accounts identical to or different than those recommended to clients. However, no person
employed by the firm is allowed to favor his or her own interest over that of a client or make personal
investment decisions based on the investment decisions of advisory clients.
In order to address potential conflicts of interest, the firm requires that associated persons with access to
advisory recommendations provide annual securities holdings reports and quarterly transaction reports
to the firm's Chief Compliance Officer. The firm also requires prior approval from the Chief Compliance
Officer for investing in any IPOs or private placements (limited offerings).
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC
Page 10
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Since the firm does not solely manage client assets, it does not have its own policies and procedures
related to trading. Information about trading policies of outside providers can be found in the applicable
party’s disclosure brochure, which is available on request.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Account Reviews and Reviewers
Holdings in accounts established and maintained with outside providers are reviewed on an ongoing
basis by the applicable managers. Information about specific review policies of outside providers can be
found in the applicable party’s disclosure brochure, which is available on request.
General reviews are conducted at least annually by B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, usually when
statements and/or reports are received from the applicable money manager.
More frequent reviews may be triggered by changes in market conditions or changes in client
financial situation.
Statements and Reports
In addition to periodic statements and transaction confirmations that clients receive from their applicable
custodian, outside investment managers may provide performance and other reports to clients from time
to time depending on the policies of the outside manager and the type of engagement. Information
about specific review and report policies of outside managers can be found in the applicable party’s
disclosure brochure, which is available on request.
You are encouraged to always compare any reports or statements provided by us our or an outside
provider against the account statements delivered from the qualified custodian. When you have
questions about your account statement received from us, you should contact our firm and the qualified
custodian preparing the statement.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
B.O.S.S Retirement Advisors does not receive any sales award or prizes from product sponsors in
connection with providing advisory services to clients. The firm may however receive economic benefits
from AEWM or our custodians in the form of the support products and services that are made available
to us and to other independent investment advisors. The firm and its representatives may also, from
time to time, receive additional compensation or other economic benefits, such as sales awards,
recruiting and training support services, expense reimbursements, software, bonuses, or non-cash
compensation (e.g. attendance at sales conferences and other recognition events) from AEWM and
other third parties related to providing investment advisory products or services.
The availability to us of these benefits is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as
buying particular securities for our clients. When referring accounts to third party managers or platform
providers, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors receives a portion of the annual management fees collected
from outside parties to whom B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors refers clients. This situation creates a
conflict of interest because B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors and/or its Investment Advisor Representative
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC
Page 11
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
have an incentive to recommend outside providers because of the solicitor fees to be received by
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Clients are not required to accept
the recommendation of an outside provider given by B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors and have the option
to receive investment advice through other money managers of their choosing.
Additionally, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors provides gift cards and other benefits to clients and provides
compensation to other outside parties that refer new clients to the firm. All such arrangements are
required to comply with applicable marketing rules related to disclosures and compensation. Advisory
fees charged to clients are not increased as a result of such compensation arrangements.
Item 15 – Custody
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors requires that clients’ assets be held by a qualified custodian. Although we
do not hold assets, B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors or the applicable outside provider may have limited
control in some instances to trade on your behalf, to deduct our advisory fees from your account with
your authorization, or to request disbursements to you or outside parties designate by you (although
various types of written authorizations are required depending on the types of disbursements). For fees
to be deducted, the firm will comply with applicable jurisdictional regulations.
You will receive account statements directly from your custodian at least quarterly, which will be sent to
the email or postal mailing address you provide. B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors urges clients to carefully
review custodial statements and compare them to any account reports that we might provide.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors will accept discretionary authority to manage client investment accounts
with AEWM as a sub-advisor. B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors will also accept non discretionary authority
with AEWM as sub-advisory. When managing accounts with AEWM, authority is delegated to AEWM
and or its designated third party managers.
Any discretionary authority accepted by B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, AEWM, or any third party
manager is subject to the client’s risk profile and investment objectives, and may be limited by any other
limitations provided by the client in writing.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors will not exercise any discretionary authority until it has been given authority
to do so in writing. Such authority is granted in the written agreement between B.O.S.S. Retirement
Advisors and the client, and in the written agreement with the third party custodian.
When managing non-discretionary accounts B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors will request client approval
before implementing investment recommendations.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Proxy Voting
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors does not vote proxies on behalf of Clients since the firm does not actively
manage accounts.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors, LLC
Page 12
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
From time to time, you may receive proxies directly from the qualified custodian or transfer agent related
to your managed accounts. Generally, proxy voting related to managed accounts will be governed by
the policies of the third party money manager which is managing your account. Information about
specific proxy voting policies of a third-party money manager can be found in the applicable third-party
money manager’s disclosure brochure, which is available on request. Information about how proxies
were voted can also be requested from the applicable third party money manager.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in some cases to provide certain financial information and or
disclosures about their financial condition. For example, if the firm requires prepayment of fees for six
months in advance, has custody of client funds, or has a condition that is reasonably likely to impair its
ability to meet it contractual commitments to its clients, it must provide financial information and make
disclosures.
B.O.S.S. Retirement Advisors has no financial or operating conditions which trigger such additional
reporting requirements.
