The study benchmarked how many advisors use options, explored how advisors use options in their practices, and what the barriers are for advisors who do not use options. In, OIC commissioned ellomy Research to conduct another wave of this study. Research Objectives To examine if, and how, options usage has changed among financial advisors since While tracking many key measures of usage and perceptions, to also explore new areas of advisor attitudes and behaviors that can provide insights into today s options marketplace. 2

5 Executive Summary Options Users still have bigger books of business and earn more than Non-Users. Users are twice as likely to have books of $500 million or more than Non-Users.
