Helmsman Financial Group, LLC was formed in 1998 for the purpose of performing portfolio management and financial planning services and became a registered investment adviser that same year. The principal owner of the firm is Springer Family LLC, which is owned by Douglas Springer. Helmsman Financial Group, LLC performs the following primary services –  Portfolio Analysis and Development  Portfolio Investment Management (General Investment Supervisory Services) on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours. We manage each client account according to the needs of each client. We follow a basic management process consisting of the following – 1. Your account is assigned a portfolio model based on your own specific objectives 2. Based on this model, asset allocation guidelines are assigned to each portfolio to develop the asset allocation plan 3. Once the asset allocation plan is developed, specific investments are selected for each of the asset classes in the plan. These investments include mutual funds, individual stocks, individual bonds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the Portfolio Administrator Service and Financial Stewardship Program and mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the Investment Assistance Program and Fund Investment Program. Once the portfolio plan is implemented, each portfolio is monitored and managed with warranted changes to your asset allocation and/or specific investment products being made in the case of the Financial Stewardship Program and Fund Investment Program or recommended in the case of the Portfolio Administrator Service and the Investment Assistance Program. Portfolio Management Services Offered Portfolio Analysis and Development – In this service, we will compare a client’s current investment portfolio to age and life stage appropriate asset allocation guidelines and generate a report with recommendations made.

(See Item 5 – Fees and Compensation).
