Brandon Helms is a Retirement Investment Consultant-DCIO in Columbia Threadneedle Investments. For him, every day is about serving & impacting others. Brandon believes that when you add value to others, they become valuable to you so he focuses on providing solutions to other people's problems and gives value by getting people to act on his expertise. Brandon is a believer, a husband of 15+ years, a father of 2 young boys, a 40 year old millennial, a mini-goldendoodle lover, a football & soccer fan, a part-time golfer, and a carb eater.In this episode, Eric and Brandon Helms discuss:Getting through compliance challenges Industry trends and their impact on retirement plansWhat is fee compression how does it affect services? How advisors can find their unique differentiators Key Takeaways:Compliance isn't easy, but you can make it work with you if you commit to being persistent. Courage, consistency, and patience are the key. It may take time, but you're going to have to put the work in to get it done. The two key themes in Brandon's paper are these: the first is that investment decisions are now being made by a centralized team. Second, be cautious both on the advisor and plan sponsor side of new products that are coming into the marketplace. Be aware of some of the embedded revenue streams that may be included in these products. Fee compression and reduced expenses are, at the end of the day, positive for business owners and employees since ultimately they are paying less. The tricky part is how the service providers in our industry navigate the changes. Advisors must find out their unique differentiators within these categories: your brand, your unique expertise, and last but most importantly, how aligned you are with your client base. “In a sales process, it's all about you… but in the day, you're trying to help the organization solve its problems. [So make] it more about them and [help] them solve their problems.” - Brandon HelmsConnect with Brandon Helms:Website: https://www.columbiathreadneedle.com/en/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helmsbrandon/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/ Phone: (940)20248-4800 Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/

When it comes to funding an executive benefits plan, choosing the right investment for the right person and your credit union means knowing both the needs of your executive and your organization’s risk tolerance, says Ramsay Ellis, executive benefits specialist with CUESolutions Platinum provider CUNA Mutual Group, Madison, Wisconsin.Knowing your executive and your organization might be the easy part. Comparing various plans and funding sources can be tricky because various providers represent rates and returns in somewhat different ways, Ellis explains. Rates and returns are key things to try to compare benefits plans and funding investments “apple to-apples.” A second key consideration for making a good comparison of plans on an equal basis is overall expenses associated with a particular investment account.“The fee that’s being charged in a managed account is charged quarterly and is very transparent,” Ellis explained. “You see it coming out of the account and know exactly what the charge is, down to the penny. “Where it can get fuzzy is the use of mutual funds, exchange traded funds,” he continues. “Those are types of investments that have internal fees and costs that are not transparent. … If the mutual fund charges 1% a year, they’ll take 1/365th of 1% out of the value of the account every day.”Ellis says he has seen credit unions mutual funds and exchange traded funds inside of a managed account with a 1% wrap fee. “When you look at a managed account charging a wrap fee that also holds investments that have internal expenses—such as an exchange traded fund or other type of mutual fund, in reality you’re paying two levels of expense.”The show also gets into:What permanent whole life insurance is, and why it's commonly used for split-dollar life insurance planHow providers illustrate their executive benefits plansWho at a credit union gets most involved in sorting out the finer details of executive benefits plansWhat other expenses credit unions might want to look for when setting up an executive benefits plansWhat executives besides the CEO a CU might want to put an executive benefits plan in place for—and why they might want to do thisHow plans for a CEO and other executives might be differentWhen to use a split-dollar plan and when to use a 457(f) plan

Click to See Francis' Blog QuestionsWhat is your disorder? *CFS (and PCOS) Please read Frances' blog post about CFS at her blog Fancy Like That and follow all of her social media I spent close to stalker-like hours on her Pinterest page.At what age did your disorder become a daily issue? *24Who were you before your illness became debilitating? *I was a quote-unquote 'normal' twenty-something with a lot of plansWhat would you do if you were not dealing with your invisible illness? *I would probably be working hard on my career and I would spend most of my spare time painting and be decorating our new house (instead of directing my partner to do it from the sofa...)What would you like people to know about your daily life? *Although it may seem like fun and games to be permanently having a sick day, it gets boring fast... especially when you don't always even have the brain capacity to do things like binge-watch great TV shows and read books that have been on your to-read pile forever. I'm currently working on a programme with my CFS clinic to raise my energy levels and while that is working it also means I have to take 15-minute breaks every half hour, no matter what, and I think that can be difficult for people to understand too.What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *More energy! Ha. But seriously... since diving (slash being dunked) into the world of invisible illnesses I think the biggest thing that would make a difference for me is just more understanding - by doctors and the general public - of invisible illnesses and of how to talk to the people dealing with them.Do you have any life hacks? *Join a Facebook group! I wasn't sold on going to the support group my doctor found because of the travel and general energy usage it would involve, but I've felt a lot less alone since finding so many places online where I can talk to other people who have the same issues as me and actually understand what I mean when I say I'm having a bad day etc. I'm also really into bullet journaling at the moment - it's a great creative outlet for me (although it doesn't have to be decorative to work!) and I find it so helpful to have everything laid out in ways that make sense to me.What kind of support do you get from family or friends? *I'm incredibly lucky to have a bunch of amazingly supporting friends and family and my boyfriend, who I live with. The best kind of support is when people say that they've read up on your illness or ask questions that show they're really trying to understand. Having said that, I also really value the friends I have who don't bring it up at all unless I do - sometimes you need to be taken out of the chronic illness bubble and gossip about so-and-so's latest Instagram post or whatever and forget about everything for a while.Have you ever had someone not believe you have an invisible illness because of your appearance? *Not yet... and touch wood never. I've had people say to me that I look 'better' or 'well', but in context, they generally mean in comparison to when they last saw me (usually this only happens when I bother to put makeup on and/or do something with my hair other than my now-signature pineapple bun)Has this been a positive or negative experience? *It doesn't make me feel great, but I know that they mean well - I just need to work out a way to tell them that I'd rather not hear it without being rude!How has your invisible illness affected your relationships? *I've definitely had to change the way that I think about certain relationships. I'm usually someone who takes on the 'Organiser' role in friendship groups, and I've had to tell myself to step back from that because I know that logistics and things are going to drain my energy. And in my relationship with my boyfriend, I have to work hard not to feel like we've gone from equal partners to carer and patient sometimes, especially on my worse days when he not only has to go to work while I stay home, but also comes home and does all of the cooking and cleaning, plus looks after all of our pets. And when he goes away - on holiday with his friends, or for work - if it's for more than a couple of days I have to have my parents come to stay with me or go to them because it's too much to try and keep myself and the house going on my own for too long. I think for me the key is talking about that kind of stuff with the people involved and reminding myself constantly that they're doing it because they love me and not because they think I'm incapable. With my boyfriend, we've recently started having set-aside 'date nights' in the week, which is something I always thought was a bit cheesy before, but now it's good for us as a time to really spend time as a couple.Is there anything you are afraid to tell even the people closest to you? *Sometimes I'll try to hide how bad I'm feeling - emotionally and/or physically - but I'm trying to avoid doing that... it always comes out anyway, and it's not good for me to bottle things up!Does the fact that your disease is invisible change how healthcare professionals treat you? *Yes and no. I'm in a weird place where CFS/ME is sort of 'in vogue' at the moment - there have been a few features about it on the news and radio recently in the UK, so my doctors are keen for me to understand that they understand. However, I do find it difficult sometimes to go to appointments alone, especially when my brain fog is particularly active, and I've had difficulty in the pat conveying that to doctors.What is your best coping mechanism? *Humour, usually of the gallows variety, and listening to podcasts - usually about true crime.What are you the most fearful of and hopeful for in the future? *I'm hopeful that I'll find a way to manage my symptoms and that I can turn this whole period of my life into something positive and productive. I'm fearful of having a relapse into worse symptoms, and of my loved ones getting bored of my limitations.What is your favorite swear word?Fuck (ideally followed by 'you', 'it', or 'off')Is there anything you want to make sure we talk about during the interview? Like an organization you want to promote or something specific that you deal with.I'd love you to push my blog if possible!! I'm planning a series of CFS-related posts alongside my usual blatherWhat is the hardest and/or best lesson your condition has taught you?It's made me very aware of my privileges when it comes to healthcare and having a support network, and spending so much time stuck in my own head has also made me get to know myself a lot better, too!What is the best purchase under $100 that helped your lifeMy Netflix subscription, a decent firm pillow, and bed socksA List Of Our Favorite Shows To StreamCrazy Ex-GirlfriendEscape To The CountryDr. WhoLark Rise To CandlefordFixer UpperJonathon CreekOther ReccomendationsGlowforgeFacebook Support GroupsInstagramPinterestFlareDown Join The Spoonies & Subscribe Sign up with your email address to receive news and updates.
