About Us
In 1980, Frank Owen III joined forces with his father, Frank Owen Jr., laying the groundwork for F.R. Owen & Associates. Working primarily in the 403(b) market, their client base grew, and by 1988, demand for additional products and services led them to expand the company’s portfolio.
Frank Owen Jr. passed away in 1989, but his spirit lives on in the firm his son incorporated in 1992. Frank Owen III is quick to tell anyone that F.R. Owen & Associates owes its success to the simple lessons of integrity and dedication he learned from his father. Today, the staff and representatives continue this tradition of thoughtful guidance, genuine care, and steadfast service to a growing family of clients. As Frank Owen Jr. always said, “Our clients are everything.”
In 2008, F.R. Owen & Associates was acquired by U.S. Retirement Partners, now known as Daybright Financial. As part of the Individual Financial Solutions segment of Daybright Financial, the firm continues to operate with a local focus while benefiting from a broader, national network. This partnership provides access to advanced administrative capabilities, expanded retirement investment solutions, shared best practices, and enhanced resources—all while maintaining the high level of personal service our clients have come to expect. Our commitment remains the same: to serve in the best interests of our clients, who are our most important asset.
