OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prime Capital Investment Advisors (PCIA) recognizes the achievements of Matthew Eickman, who is transitioning from his role as National Retirement Practice Leader at Qualified Plan Advisors, the firm’s retirement plan consulting business, to pursue a full-time career in law, writing, and public speaking effective July 2024.
Eickman has expressed his gratitude for the opportunities at PCIA, reflecting on the firm's commitment to prioritizing the needs of plan participants and fostering a supportive and growth-oriented environment. Eickman will maintain an ongoing relationship with PCIA where he will contribute to educational resources and continue to serve as a source of thought leadership for the firm and within the retirement industry.
Glenn Spencer, chief executive officer at Prime Capital Investment Advisors, expressed appreciation and mixed emotions, saying “I am personally very excited for Matthew, as he has a great deal of passion for this next chapter. On the other hand, we will miss his leadership as a senior Advisor to our clients and as the leader of our retirement consulting services and financial wellness services. We look forward to continued collaboration with Matthew and appreciate that he'll remain a resource for our clients and advisors.”
During his tenure, Eickman served as ERISA counsel, Retirement Plan Advisor, and National Retirement Practice Leader, most recently spearheading the firm's financial wellness business, Financial Fitness for Life. His leadership enhanced PCIA's offerings and client service capabilities at every step, ensuring the firm's position at the forefront of fiduciary consulting and wellness services.
Eickman's new role will allow him to focus on his professional passions while continuing to support PCIA's largest retirement plan clients and contributing to the industry through advisory roles and thought leadership. “I began my professional career under the mentorship of one of the country’s best ERISA attorneys. Over the last 12 years, I’ve had the privilege to work at a fiduciary investment firm that puts participants first. As I return to a greater focus on the practice of law, I look forward to building a platform that combines those experiences and helps organizations across the country to safely implement the participant-first solutions that PCIA has long had the courage to provide.”
Scott Colangelo, Chairman and Managing Partner at Prime Capital Investment Advisors praised Eickman’s impact on the industry and the firm. “Over the last decade, our firm has been ahead of the market when we launched CITs, built a proprietary financial wellness platform, and worked with a consortium of industry leaders to bring in-plan retirement income to participants through Income America. Matthew has been a critical part of identifying what’s next in our industry and propelling our firm’s growth into a national leader in those areas. I know we’ll turn to him as we have for over a decade to advance innovative ideas when others’ fears hold them back. Our firm is better off because of his time here. Because of what Matthew helped build, we’ll be able to attract a highly qualified thought leader to follow in his footsteps.”
PCIA is launching a national search to find a successor who will continue to advance the client-focused legacy Eickman leaves behind. The ongoing relationship with Eickman assures that PCIA’s retirement practice will continue to be well-served during the selection process to identify a candidate that embodies the firm's values and vision for growth.
