Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Retirement Resources Investment Corporation (“Retirement Resources” or the “Advisor”) is a registered
investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a
Corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Retirement Resources was founded in April
1999 and is owned and operated by Patrick McGinn (President and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure
Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services
provided by Retirement Resources.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Retirement Resources offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, corporations or business entities, charitable organizations, and retirement plans (each herein a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Retirement Resources’ fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of
Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Retirement Resources may provide Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes
discretionary and non-discretionary management of investment portfolios in connection with a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning services.
Investment Management Services
Retirement Resources provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved
through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management
and consulting services.
Retirement Resources works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as
risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Retirement Resources will then
construct a portfolio, consisting of diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks and bonds to meet the needs of its
Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the
overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Retirement Resources’ investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-
allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Retirement Resources will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the
goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity
to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
Retirement Resources evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. Retirement Resources may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. Retirement Resources may recommend specific positions to increase sector
or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against
market movement. Retirement Resources may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not
limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of
securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client,
generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,

Phone: (978) 536-9000 * Fax: (978) 535-7777

Page 5
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will Retirement Resources accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the
limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated
account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning Services
Retirement Resources will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to Clients as a part of its
wealth management services or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in
several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan based on the Client’s
financial goals and objectives. This planning may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not
limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings and other areas of a
Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Retirement Resources may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for
their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of
the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date,
assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning recommendations poses a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of
the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement Resources provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a
“Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to
assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each
engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Due Diligence
Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))

Page 6
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation Assistance
These services are provided by Retirement Resources serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2),
the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Retirement Resources’ fiduciary status, the specific
services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the
engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Retirement Resources to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter
into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of
the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Retirement Resources, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Retirement Resources will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet
the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Retirement Resources will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to
meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Retirement Resources will provide investment management
and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Retirement Resources includes, in addition to securities transaction fees for certain mutual funds, custodial costs
and administrative fees (herein “Covered Costs”) together with its investment advisory fee for Clients in the
Retirement Resources Managed Account Program (“RR-MAP”) of which Retirement Resources serves as the
Program Sponsor and Portfolio Manager. The inclusion of these transaction costs into the investment advisory
fee is generally considered a “wrap fee program” as the investment advisory fee for the RR-MAP service involves
one inclusive of Covered Costs.
The Advisor will follow the same general principles of portfolio management in RR-MAP accounts as in other
advisory accounts. However, the specific investment plan could differ if a non-wrap fee account was subject to
sales charges or minimum purchase restrictions. As a consequence, there could be greater degree of
diversification in RR-MAP accounts. Please see the Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1, Wrap Fee Brochure (“Wrap
Brochure”) for more details about the RR-MAP service.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024 Retirement Resources manages $1,992,257,844 in Client assets, $126,780,956 of
which are managed on a discretionary basis and $1,865,476,888 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Retirement Resources
and the Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the previous quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 1.20% to 0.50% based on the
following schedule:

The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by Retirement Resources will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews
of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The investment advisory fee may vary from the above fee schedule depending on the nature and complexity of
each Client’s circumstances, or with the inclusion of financial planning or other services, which is offered on an
hourly financial planning fee basis, as described below.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any
portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
For stand-alone financial planning services, the Advisor will charge on an hourly basis of up to $250, which may be
negotiable, at the sole discretion of the Advisor, depending on the nature and complexity of the services to be
provided. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for financial
planning services. If the Client engages the Advisor for additional wealth management services, Retirement
Resources may offset future fees against the fees paid for planning services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 0.50%, payable at the
end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreements. Retirement plan
advisory fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
by the Custodian. The Advisor or its delegate shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the
fees to be deducted from the Client account[s] at the respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by
applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets of the Client under management with
Retirement Resources at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly,
from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify
the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this
responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Retirement
Resources directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and
separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced by the Advisor upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s] and due
upon receipt.

Page 8
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the
Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Retirement Resources, in connection
with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Retirement Resources includes Covered Costs as
part of its overall investment advisory fee through RR-MAP. For Clients not engaged in RR-MAP, the Client is
responsible for all securities execution and custody fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor's
recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's
account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements.
However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by
Retirement Resources are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. Retirement Resources
may include securities transactions costs as part of its overall advisory fees. Please see Item 4.D. above.
In addition, all fees paid to Retirement Resources for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from
the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Retirement
Resources, but would not receive the services provided by Retirement Resources, which are designed, among
other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services appear to be most appropriate for each
Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s]
and the fees charged by Retirement Resources to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Retirement Resources is compensated for its investment management services in advance of each quarter in
which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment agreement within
five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the
Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be
due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid fees to the
Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
Financial Planning Services
Retirement Resources is compensated for its services upon completion of the engagement deliverable[s]. Either
party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other
party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly
rate. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement Resources is compensated for its services at the end of the quarter, after retirement plan advisory
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the retirement plan advisory
agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-
day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and
such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor
is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.

E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Retirement Resources does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Retirement Resources does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees
charged by Retirement Resources are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital
appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Retirement Resources does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to
its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Retirement Resources provides investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, corporations or business entities, charitable organizations, and retirement plans. The amount of each
type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are
updated at least annually by the Advisor. Retirement Resources generally requires a minimum relationship size
of $250,000. Retirement Resources may waive the minimum in consideration of a particular Client’s factors,
including, but not limited to, the longevity of the relationship, assets, and employment status. Investment
Management services may be assessed a minimum annual fee if their assets fall below the minimum account
size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Retirement Resources primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for
its Clients. Research and analysis from Retirement Resources are derived from numerous sources, including
financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities,
including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential
investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment
criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, Retirement Resources generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as
consistent with their financial goals. Retirement Resources will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more
than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs
of Clients. At times, Retirement Resources may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature,
depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Retirement Resources will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.

Page 10
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later. There is also a risk that Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their responsibilities.
Authorized Participants are one of the major parties involved with ETF creation/redemption mechanism in the
markets. The Authorized Participants play a critical role in the liquidity of ETFs and essentially have the exclusive
right to change the supply of ETF shares in the market. If the Authorized Participants does not fulfill this expected
role, there could be an adverse impact on liquidity and the valuation of an ETF.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will
fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower
rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at
a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk,
i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting
on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of
the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6)
Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the
bond.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Retirement Resources or any of its
Supervised Persons. Retirement Resources values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor

encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client
engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser
Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 47723.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of Retirement Resources is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients. Neither
Retirement Resources nor its Supervised Persons are involved in other business endeavors. Retirement
Resources does not maintain any affiliations with other firms, other than contracted service providers to assist
with the servicing of its Client’s accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Retirement Resources has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary
commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Retirement Resources (“Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the
Advisor’s duties to the Client. Retirement Resources and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness
and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Retirement Resources Supervised Persons to adhere
not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code
covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code,
please contact the Advisor at (978) 536-9000 or via email at patrick@retirewithmore.com..
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Retirement Resources allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Retirement Resources does not act as principal in any
transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment
company. Retirement Resources does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Retirement Resources allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended
(purchase or sell) to Clients presents a potential conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to
Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted, consistent with
Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading (material
non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal
accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to
act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms
than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Retirement
Resources requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the
Supervised Person’s supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also
adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Retirement Resources allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterward. At no time will Retirement Resources, or any Supervised Person of Retirement
Resources, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Retirement Resources does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody
and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard
Client assets and authorize Retirement Resources to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the
Retirement Resources Investment Corporation
100 Corporate Place, Peabody, MA 01960
Phone: (978) 536-9000 * Fax: (978) 535-7777
www.RetireWithMore.com
Page 12
investment advisory agreement. Further, Retirement Resources does not have the discretionary authority to
negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Retirement Resources does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, the Advisor will
typically recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use
the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by Retirement Resources. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it
can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Retirement Resources may recommend a Custodian
based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services
made available to the Client, its reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Retirement Resources
does not receive research services, other products, or compensation as a result of recommending a particular
Custodian that may result in the Client paying higher commissions than those obtainable through other
custodians. Retirement Resources will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] with Fidelity
Clearing & Custody Solutions and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”), where the
Advisor maintains an institutional relationship. Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Retirement Resources does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered
by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the
Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Retirement Resources does not receive any compensation from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where Retirement Resources
will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor will not engage in any
principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with
other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]).
Retirement Resources will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not
have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Retirement Resources will execute its
transactions through the Custodian as directed by the Client.
Retirement Resources may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold
through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the
same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated
in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way
that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by the Advisory Persons of
Retirement Resources. Clients participating in RR-MAP generally have their accounts reviewed quarterly. Other
accounts are reviewed periodically as appropriate based on the individual holdings and circumstances.

Phone: (978) 536-9000 * Fax: (978) 535-7777
www.RetireWithMore.com
Page 13
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. above, reviews may be conducted more frequently at
the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known
changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The
Client is encouraged to notify Retirement Resources if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation
that might materially affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market,
economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Retirement Resources
Retirement Resources does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-
dealers or any un-related third party. Retirement Resources may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory
professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet
the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Retirement Resources may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients
from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Retirement Resources has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing
Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor
receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management
services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may benefit the
Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the
interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of certain soft dollar and/or economic
benefits from the Custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations
and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants;
access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the
appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry
and account information.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Retirement Resources does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised
persons, for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Retirement Resources does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited
circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Retirement Resources exercises discretionary authority must hold their
assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their
funds and securities and must instruct Retirement Resources to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions
on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any

Phone: (978) 536-9000 * Fax: (978) 535-7777

Page 14
reports provided by Retirement Resources to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Retirement Resources may have discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. For non-discretionary Clients, the
Advisor will contact the Client and obtain approval prior to executing trades. However, these purchases or sales
may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and
agreed to by Retirement Resources. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the
Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory
agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Retirement
Resources will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Retirement Resources does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy
statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however,
the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Retirement Resources, nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably
impair the ability of Retirement Resources to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Retirement Resources,
nor any of its Advisory Persons have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Retirement
Resources is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not
collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
