19
00:01:11,218 –> 00:01:13,058
[Ramsey Smith]: opportunity in the guaranteed income space

20
00:01:13,404 –> 00:01:14,404
[Tamiko Toland]: space

21
00:01:13,478 –> 00:01:14,478
[Ramsey Smith]: and

22
00:01:15,378 –> 00:01:20,498
[Ramsey Smith]: the core work that Tamiko her team and her affiliates to doing to get us

23
00:01:20,658 –> 00:01:21,858
[Ramsey Smith]: there so with that Tamiko

24
00:01:21,004 –> 00:01:22,004
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s not something

25
00:01:22,978 –> 00:01:25,778
[Ramsey Smith]: tell us about some of the things that you’ve been you’ve been up to lately

26
00:01:26,524 –> 00:01:27,524
[Tamiko Toland]: sure

27
00:01:27,260 –> 00:01:28,260
[Paul Tyler]: i don’t know you

28
00:01:27,864 –> 00:01:32,504
[Tamiko Toland]: so before i i dive right into the four one key space i’ll

29
00:01:32,180 –> 00:01:33,180
[Paul Tyler]: i

30
00:01:32,744 –> 00:01:35,784
[Tamiko Toland]: mention a couple pieces that came out recently

31
00:01:36,984 –> 00:01:41,544
[Tamiko Toland]: and one was for investments and wealth monitor and it’s

32
00:01:41,680 –> 00:01:42,960
[Paul Tyler]: it about nine

33
00:01:41,704 –> 00:01:45,384
[Tamiko Toland]: really just about the validity of replacing

34
00:01:46,664 –> 00:01:52,344
[Tamiko Toland]: some or all the fixed income allocation and retirement with a guaranteed income

35
00:01:52,664 –> 00:01:57,464
[Tamiko Toland]: source and i say it like that because we did the research on based on spa but you

36
00:01:57,544 –> 00:02:00,424
[Tamiko Toland]: can replace other annuities as well so but still always

37
00:02:00,020 –> 00:02:01,020
[Paul Tyler]: so

38
00:02:00,604 –> 00:02:01,604
[Tamiko Toland]: annuities but

39
00:02:01,220 –> 00:02:02,220
[Paul Tyler]: but

40
00:02:01,924 –> 00:02:02,924
[Tamiko Toland]: that this actually

41
00:02:02,500 –> 00:02:03,500
[Paul Tyler]: i

42
00:02:03,144 –> 00:02:08,984
[Tamiko Toland]: improves outcomes um both in terms of income sustainability and

43
00:02:09,060 –> 00:02:10,060
[Paul Tyler]: get what

44
00:02:09,224 –> 00:02:11,704
[Tamiko Toland]: actually legacy which is i th

45
00:02:11,760 –> 00:02:12,880
[Paul Tyler]: i i feel like that’s

46
00:02:11,864 –> 00:02:14,584
[Tamiko Toland]: i feel like that’s a sort of the hidden story um

47
00:02:14,420 –> 00:02:15,420
[Paul Tyler]: else

48
00:02:14,824 –> 00:02:17,624
[Tamiko Toland]: when it comes to guaranteed income that we act

49
00:02:17,380 –> 00:02:18,380
[Paul Tyler]: y

50
00:02:17,784 –> 00:02:21,304
[Tamiko Toland]: like it’s it’ going to make legacy worse but anyway so another

51
00:02:21,060 –> 00:02:22,060
[Paul Tyler]: another

52
00:02:21,464 –> 00:02:25,144
[Tamiko Toland]: piece uh that i’ve done recently is uh for the journal of pension benefits and it

53
00:02:25,144 –> 00:02:28,984
[Tamiko Toland]: is on the topic of four hundred thousand that’s been a huge focus of mine over

54
00:02:29,064 –> 00:02:34,344
[Tamiko Toland]: the last couple of years and we’re very excited to be involved in the lifetime

55
00:02:34,424 –> 00:02:38,664
[Tamiko Toland]: income consortium where we’re really going to be focusing on this topic with a

56
00:02:38,744 –> 00:02:40,344
[Tamiko Toland]: group of member companies

57
00:02:41,464 –> 00:02:46,024

63
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:13,200
[Paul Tyler]: years ramsey remember i think we did a podcast way back when episode number seven

64
00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:15,600
[Paul Tyler]: if you want to look and i think when the secure act came out

65
00:03:16,720 –> 00:03:19,520
[Paul Tyler]: and you think okay two years what’s happened

66
00:03:20,720 –> 00:03:23,200
[Paul Tyler]: a lot of companies have sort of

67
00:03:24,540 –> 00:03:25,540
[Paul Tyler]: looked at this opportunity

68
00:03:26,480 –> 00:03:30,080
[Paul Tyler]: we see some entrances i’ll leave you know rams you can sort of talk about the

69
00:03:29,700 –> 00:03:30,700
[Paul Tyler]: industry

70
00:03:29,964 –> 00:03:30,964
[Tamiko Toland]: sometimes

71
00:03:30,480 –> 00:03:34,080
[Paul Tyler]: landscape but just in the last like two days i’ve had some real

72
00:03:33,804 –> 00:03:34,804
[Tamiko Toland]: so

73
00:03:34,240 –> 00:03:35,760
[Paul Tyler]: interesting inbounds to i

74
00:03:37,280 –> 00:03:42,000
[Paul Tyler]: one was uh you know a writer for for forbes chris caruso saying looking for

75
00:03:41,940 –> 00:03:42,940
[Paul Tyler]: people’s

76
00:03:44,480 –> 00:03:51,520
[Paul Tyler]: answers to a question of what will really make this sales happen in the k space

77
00:03:53,120 –> 00:03:55,920
[Paul Tyler]: i’ll talk to some other questions again but let’s just kind of throw that out

78
00:03:55,780 –> 00:03:56,780
[Paul Tyler]: what will

79
00:03:57,920 –> 00:04:02,800
[Paul Tyler]: or what won’t make uh annuities and four hundred one ks work i don’t know which

80
00:04:02,880 –> 00:04:04,720
[Paul Tyler]: way you want to take it ramsay don’t know

81
00:04:06,338 –> 00:04:10,578
[Ramsey Smith]: well i’m taking notes ’cause as you mentioned this is this is an area of primary

82
00:04:10,718 –> 00:04:11,718
[Ramsey Smith]: focus for

83
00:04:11,540 –> 00:04:12,540
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

84
00:04:11,938 –> 00:04:16,418
[Ramsey Smith]: for me and my in my company and and uh i i have i have some theories

85
00:04:17,458 –> 00:04:23,458
[Ramsey Smith]: and very interested to hear tom’s input give me some idea about at least what

86
00:04:23,538 –> 00:04:26,818
[Ramsey Smith]: we’ve tabulated in terms of i’ll call it deals announced

87
00:04:26,820 –> 00:04:27,820
[Paul Tyler]: what

88
00:04:27,378 –> 00:04:32,498
[Ramsey Smith]: right and and they’re in various stages of actual execution but we recently added

89
00:04:32,578 –> 00:04:36,738
[Ramsey Smith]: up all everything we could find in the press and there’s something like sixty

90
00:04:36,738 –> 00:04:38,418
[Ramsey Smith]: billion dollars worth of announcements

91
00:04:39,618 –> 00:04:41,218
[Ramsey Smith]: you know that are in in in the space

92
00:04:41,304 –> 00:04:42,904
[Tamiko Toland]: that was so that’s

93
00:04:41,698 –> 00:04:45,378
[Ramsey Smith]: so’s not that’s not that’s not huge given the seven trillion opportunity

94
00:04:45,004 –> 00:04:46,004
[Tamiko Toland]: so

95
00:04:45,538 –> 00:04:50,178
[Ramsey Smith]: but it’s not insignificant and my guess is it will continue to grow but how we

96
00:04:50,338 –> 00:04:54,098
[Ramsey Smith]: get there that’s what tomic is going to share with us so so what do you think

97
00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:56,640
[Paul Tyler]: yes maybe tom yeah start with what won’t try i don’t know

98
00:04:56,438 –> 00:04:57,438
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

99
00:04:57,040 –> 00:04:59,200
[Paul Tyler]: i’m fascinated to get your your impression

100
00:05:00,824 –> 00:05:06,984
[Tamiko Toland]: well i i’m gonna take a step back about a decade um in two thousand twelve i

101
00:05:07,064 –> 00:05:11,704
[Tamiko Toland]: actually wrote a report on in planned guarantees when i was at strategic insight

102
00:05:11,564 –> 00:05:12,564
[Tamiko Toland]: because

103
00:05:12,264 –> 00:05:15,864
[Tamiko Toland]: it was a very hot topic and it was about

104
00:05:12,320 –> 00:05:13,600
[Paul Tyler]: you think read

105
00:05:15,540 –> 00:05:16,540
[Paul Tyler]: so

106
00:05:16,744 –> 00:05:23,544
[Tamiko Toland]: to explode right we all felt like this is necessary it’s beneficial um to

107
00:05:23,704 –> 00:05:27,464
[Tamiko Toland]: participants right in particular like that’s where a lot of the conversation

108
00:05:27,724 –> 00:05:28,724
[Tamiko Toland]: focuses

109
00:05:29,164 –> 00:05:30,164
[Tamiko Toland]: and

110
00:05:29,380 –> 00:05:30,380
[Paul Tyler]: is

111
00:05:31,004 –> 00:05:32,004
[Tamiko Toland]: there

112
00:05:31,500 –> 00:05:32,500
[Paul Tyler]: you were a lot

113
00:05:31,624 –> 00:05:35,464
[Tamiko Toland]: were a lot of different companies that were coming out

114
00:05:35,140 –> 00:05:36,140
[Paul Tyler]: no

115
00:05:35,524 –> 00:05:36,524
[Tamiko Toland]: with initiatives

116
00:05:36,720 –> 00:05:37,840
[Paul Tyler]: i i have one

117
00:05:37,064 –> 00:05:39,224
[Tamiko Toland]: that were going to make a big difference and they were really

118
00:05:39,220 –> 00:05:40,220
[Paul Tyler]: i

119
00:05:39,384 –> 00:05:41,944
[Tamiko Toland]: designing around the challenges and

120
00:05:41,540 –> 00:05:42,540
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

121
00:05:42,264 –> 00:05:44,184
[Tamiko Toland]: you know the the big one at that time

122
00:05:43,280 –> 00:05:44,480
[Paul Tyler]: big one time

123
00:05:44,924 –> 00:05:45,924
[Tamiko Toland]: was

124
00:05:45,540 –> 00:05:46,540
[Paul Tyler]: play

125
00:05:45,624 –> 00:05:49,144
[Tamiko Toland]: eins bernstein and the lifetime income strategy which they

126
00:05:48,820 –> 00:05:49,820
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

127
00:05:49,224 –> 00:05:54,344
[Tamiko Toland]: actually did get placed as a qa and i’ll explain that a that as a qualified

128
00:05:54,100 –> 00:05:55,100
[Paul Tyler]: place

129
00:05:54,744 –> 00:05:56,504
[Tamiko Toland]: default’ investment

130
00:05:57,784 –> 00:06:00,664
[Tamiko Toland]: alternative right and so this is where

131
00:05:59,440 –> 00:06:04,640
[Paul Tyler]: wow that was great great branding qualified default wow okay sorry

132
00:06:04,424 –> 00:06:06,104
[Tamiko Toland]: well it is cause it’s a default

133
00:06:05,860 –> 00:06:06,860
[Paul Tyler]: yes

134
00:06:06,584 –> 00:06:09,864
[Tamiko Toland]: right and this has everything to do with the

135
00:06:11,704 –> 00:06:17,464
[Tamiko Toland]: all the money in motion um within four o one k plans i mean the target date fund

136
00:06:17,624 –> 00:06:23,864
[Tamiko Toland]: has become the mainstay and it is because of their use as a q dia right and all

137
00:06:24,024 –> 00:06:26,504
[Tamiko Toland]: these things are are completely related but

138
00:06:26,340 –> 00:06:27,340
[Paul Tyler]: but it might

139
00:06:26,664 –> 00:06:28,184
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s funny because you know at the time

140
00:06:29,944 –> 00:06:31,704
[Tamiko Toland]: i did this research it was more

141
00:06:31,780 –> 00:06:32,780
[Paul Tyler]: walk

142
00:06:32,184 –> 00:06:36,904
[Tamiko Toland]: qualitative research where i talked to folks who were involved and collected

143
00:06:36,984 –> 00:06:40,424
[Tamiko Toland]: information about the different solutions that were out there and so forth and i

144
00:06:40,504 –> 00:06:43,544
[Tamiko Toland]: said okay well you know this is foundational and then we’re gonna be you know

145
00:06:43,704 –> 00:06:47,624
[Tamiko Toland]: going up from here and then it just seemed to stall out and

146
00:06:47,620 –> 00:06:48,620
[Paul Tyler]: wa

147
00:06:47,864 –> 00:06:53,544
[Tamiko Toland]: despite the efforts with lines burning in their success with the uc plan which is

148
00:06:53,624 –> 00:06:58,824
[Tamiko Toland]: now part of raytheon so people refer to it as raytheon because they did implement

149
00:06:58,444 –> 00:06:59,444
[Tamiko Toland]: it

150
00:07:00,060 –> 00:07:01,060
[Paul Tyler]: yeah it

151
00:07:00,264 –> 00:07:04,264
[Tamiko Toland]: and it’s been very successful as such it’s they’ve continued and and full

152
00:07:04,424 –> 00:07:07,064
[Tamiko Toland]: disclosure they are a client of ours so

153
00:07:08,344 –> 00:07:12,744
[Tamiko Toland]: you know so what’s happened in the last decade why hasn’t it taken off and i

154
00:07:12,824 –> 00:07:15,944
[Tamiko Toland]: think there are probably a thousand different smaller reasons

155
00:07:16,684 –> 00:07:17,684
[Tamiko Toland]: and

156
00:07:17,300 –> 00:07:18,300
[Paul Tyler]: that would

157
00:07:17,624 –> 00:07:19,144
[Tamiko Toland]: that was one of the the um

158
00:07:20,020 –> 00:07:21,020
[Paul Tyler]: that

159
00:07:20,344 –> 00:07:27,144
[Tamiko Toland]: facts that led me to believe that the secure act alone wasn’t going to change the

160
00:07:20,344 –> 00:07:27,144
[Tamiko Toland]: facts that led me to believe that the secure act alone wasn’t going to change the

161
00:07:26,764 –> 00:07:27,764
[Tamiko Toland]: story

162
00:07:26,764 –> 00:07:27,764
[Tamiko Toland]: story

163
00:07:27,860 –> 00:07:28,860
[Paul Tyler]: excuse

164
00:07:28,344 –> 00:07:32,184
[Tamiko Toland]: and we really pen a lot of the changes on the secure act and i i i do think it’s

165
00:07:32,344 –> 00:07:34,984
[Tamiko Toland]: helpful and it’s certainly um beneficial

166
00:07:36,024 –> 00:07:38,904
[Tamiko Toland]: but the reality is that there are a lot of other um

167
00:07:40,164 –> 00:07:41,164
[Tamiko Toland]: like through

168
00:07:40,820 –> 00:07:41,820
[Paul Tyler]: like

169
00:07:41,144 –> 00:07:44,184
[Tamiko Toland]: lines in the industry that are coming together and

170
00:07:44,580 –> 00:07:45,580
[Paul Tyler]: i

171
00:07:44,984 –> 00:07:46,664
[Tamiko Toland]: i kind of want to get to

172
00:07:48,024 –> 00:07:50,744
[Tamiko Toland]: why is it that plan sponsors

173
00:07:51,140 –> 00:07:52,140
[Paul Tyler]: you really

174
00:07:51,784 –> 00:07:54,904
[Tamiko Toland]: really need to consider adoption of

175
00:07:54,820 –> 00:07:55,820
[Paul Tyler]: like

176
00:07:55,064 –> 00:07:57,784
[Tamiko Toland]: lifetime income it because it the ultimate reason

177
00:07:57,660 –> 00:07:58,660
[Paul Tyler]: thank you

178
00:07:57,944 –> 00:08:02,664
[Tamiko Toland]: is not altruistic you know we don’t companies don’t have this paternalistic

179
00:08:02,744 –> 00:08:06,984
[Tamiko Toland]: attitude in general like we need to take care of people obviously we know the

180
00:08:07,064 –> 00:08:09,784
[Tamiko Toland]: trend that pensions are dissipating and they’re being

181
00:08:09,944 –> 00:08:14,664
[Tamiko Toland]: replaced by dc so naturally we need to include some kind of income solution as

182
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:11,200
[Paul Tyler]: like like yeah

183
00:08:14,764 –> 00:08:15,764
[Tamiko Toland]: part of so

184
00:08:15,620 –> 00:08:16,620
[Paul Tyler]: why not

185
00:08:15,864 –> 00:08:17,464
[Tamiko Toland]: why hasn’t it happened why

186
00:08:17,420 –> 00:08:18,420
[Paul Tyler]: he get

187
00:08:17,704 –> 00:08:19,784
[Tamiko Toland]: is it going to suddenly happen i

188
00:08:19,864 –> 00:08:23,064
[Tamiko Toland]: mean frankly in terms of the economic environment

189
00:08:19,920 –> 00:08:21,040
[Paul Tyler]: she frankly

190
00:08:24,184 –> 00:08:27,864
[Tamiko Toland]: um when people are facing uncertainty and

191
00:08:27,740 –> 00:08:28,740
[Paul Tyler]: you know

192
00:08:28,104 –> 00:08:31,464
[Tamiko Toland]: you know i i really do think that low interest rates have influences this not

193
00:08:31,544 –> 00:08:32,744
[Tamiko Toland]: something we really talk about a lot

194
00:08:34,424 –> 00:08:39,464
[Tamiko Toland]: but the methods that we use to generate income and retirement regardless of where

195
00:08:39,544 –> 00:08:41,064
[Tamiko Toland]: you’re sitting have

196
00:08:42,184 –> 00:08:46,584
[Tamiko Toland]: really deteriorated bond ladders don’t have the power that they used to so now

197
00:08:46,664 –> 00:08:48,104
[Tamiko Toland]: we’re talking about all this as

198
00:08:49,304 –> 00:08:50,584
[Tamiko Toland]: um moving

199
00:08:50,980 –> 00:08:51,980
[Paul Tyler]: i

200
00:08:51,384 –> 00:08:53,864
[Tamiko Toland]: attitudes in the retail arena well

201
00:08:53,700 –> 00:08:54,700
[Paul Tyler]: i think

202
00:08:54,104 –> 00:08:58,024
[Tamiko Toland]: the same really applies it’s the same people right it’s just

203
00:08:57,860 –> 00:08:58,860
[Paul Tyler]: thank you

204
00:08:58,104 –> 00:09:00,104
[Tamiko Toland]: regular american workers who are saving

205
00:09:00,420 –> 00:09:01,420
[Paul Tyler]: is

206
00:09:00,984 –> 00:09:02,184
[Tamiko Toland]: and when they

207
00:09:03,384 –> 00:09:07,704
[Tamiko Toland]: approach retirement when they reach retirement age and they do not have the

208
00:09:07,864 –> 00:09:08,984
[Tamiko Toland]: confidence to retire

209
00:09:09,724 –> 00:09:10,724
[Tamiko Toland]: and they’re

210
00:09:10,100 –> 00:09:11,100
[Paul Tyler]: what

211
00:09:10,504 –> 00:09:12,584
[Tamiko Toland]: much more likely to stay at their companies

212
00:09:13,784 –> 00:09:18,904
[Tamiko Toland]: and frankly this is a workforce management issue for companies that want to be

213
00:09:18,984 –> 00:09:22,264
[Tamiko Toland]: able to hire younger workers promote them through you can’t promote people when

214
00:09:22,344 –> 00:09:26,184
[Tamiko Toland]: there’s folks already sitting in those positions so that company life cycle

215
00:09:26,344 –> 00:09:32,104
[Tamiko Toland]: really gets stalled when you have people not retiring right and when you you have

216
00:09:32,184 –> 00:09:35,784
[Tamiko Toland]: folks that are hanging on not because they’re passionate about their work and

217
00:09:35,484 –> 00:09:36,484
[Tamiko Toland]: want

218
00:09:35,620 –> 00:09:36,620
[Paul Tyler]: was

219
00:09:36,264 –> 00:09:40,824
[Tamiko Toland]: to continue working retirement which is a very valid thing that we talk about so

220
00:09:40,904 –> 00:09:42,824
[Tamiko Toland]: much more now with you know

221
00:09:42,660 –> 00:09:43,660
[Paul Tyler]: i

222
00:09:43,064 –> 00:09:46,424
[Tamiko Toland]: a revision of how we view retirement but when that’s not the reason people are

223
00:09:46,564 –> 00:09:47,564
[Tamiko Toland]: are sticking to their jobs

224
00:09:47,140 –> 00:09:48,140
[Paul Tyler]: no

225
00:09:47,624 –> 00:09:49,464
[Tamiko Toland]: you know i think there are a lot

226
00:09:49,060 –> 00:09:50,060
[Paul Tyler]: about

227
00:09:49,544 –> 00:09:54,264
[Tamiko Toland]: of additional workforce issues and older workers are more expensive to companies

228
00:09:55,680 –> 00:09:58,240
[Paul Tyler]: and we don’t want talk and i

229
00:09:55,784 –> 00:09:59,624
[Tamiko Toland]: and you know we don’t want to talk about this and and i really i don’t want to

230
00:09:59,624 –> 00:10:04,104
[Tamiko Toland]: make sure that i’m be careful not to speak about this from an age’s perspective

231
00:10:04,184 –> 00:10:05,464
[Tamiko Toland]: because i you know i’m also like

232
00:10:07,464 –> 00:10:11,784
[Tamiko Toland]: leaning that direction as we all are time time moves in one direction for all of

233
00:10:11,324 –> 00:10:12,324
[Tamiko Toland]: us

234
00:10:12,904 –> 00:10:16,424
[Tamiko Toland]: but you really want people to be able to enjoy the retirements that they’ve been

235
00:10:16,664 –> 00:10:20,584
[Tamiko Toland]: saving for but when you’re not giving them that confidence and you’re not giving

236
00:10:20,744 –> 00:10:22,344
[Tamiko Toland]: them lifetime income then that

237
00:10:22,060 –> 00:10:23,060
[Paul Tyler]: that is

238
00:10:22,424 –> 00:10:23,464
[Tamiko Toland]: isn’t going to happen i

239
00:10:23,944 –> 00:10:27,944
[Tamiko Toland]: haven’t answered your question but i i see ramsey taking notes and i have a

240
00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:26,000
[Paul Tyler]: i have these i pay

241
00:10:28,024 –> 00:10:30,904
[Tamiko Toland]: feeling there might be some more questions flying my way so we we’ll get there

242
00:10:33,138 –> 00:10:38,418
[Ramsey Smith]: so yes i i was gonna say that is the that is the politest version of o k boomer

243
00:10:38,278 –> 00:10:39,278
[Ramsey Smith]: i’ve ever heard

244
00:10:43,618 –> 00:10:46,658
[Ramsey Smith]: um but it’s but let me let me ask you about this so

245
00:10:46,260 –> 00:10:47,260
[Paul Tyler]: so

246
00:10:47,558 –> 00:10:48,558
[Ramsey Smith]: um

247
00:10:47,700 –> 00:10:48,700
[Paul Tyler]: um

248
00:10:49,698 –> 00:10:52,978
[Ramsey Smith]: do you do you get the sense that that companies

249
00:10:54,258 –> 00:10:55,298
[Ramsey Smith]: hr departments

250
00:10:56,338 –> 00:11:00,818
[Ramsey Smith]: the folks that are sort of actually dealing with this particular problem you you

251
00:11:00,978 –> 00:11:06,658
[Ramsey Smith]: you’re saying this can potentially address do you think they see that yet right

252
00:11:06,638 –> 00:11:07,638
[Ramsey Smith]: do are you

253
00:11:07,084 –> 00:11:08,084
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah

254
00:11:08,818 –> 00:11:13,938
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah i mean i is that a i i i’m at the end of the day at the end of the day in

255
00:11:14,018 –> 00:11:17,298
[Ramsey Smith]: order for this to work there have to be pain points right they have to be sort of

256
00:11:16,958 –> 00:11:17,958
[Ramsey Smith]: pain

257
00:11:17,084 –> 00:11:18,084
[Tamiko Toland]: that

258
00:11:17,558 –> 00:11:18,558
[Ramsey Smith]: points that people are

259
00:11:19,778 –> 00:11:21,058
[Ramsey Smith]: are determined to sort of

260
00:11:20,844 –> 00:11:21,844
[Tamiko Toland]: just

261
00:11:21,138 –> 00:11:24,658
[Ramsey Smith]: resolve and so the question is is that a big enough pain point yet you think

262
00:11:25,964 –> 00:11:26,964
[Tamiko Toland]: i

263
00:11:26,480 –> 00:11:27,520
[Paul Tyler]: i have that

264
00:11:26,578 –> 00:11:27,698
[Ramsey Smith]: i i think that that

265
00:11:26,744 –> 00:11:29,064
[Tamiko Toland]: i think that that it’s a combination of factors and

266
00:11:28,740 –> 00:11:29,740
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

267
00:11:28,764 –> 00:11:29,764
[Tamiko Toland]: yes

268
00:11:28,918 –> 00:11:29,918
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

269
00:11:29,464 –> 00:11:30,824
[Tamiko Toland]: i do think that

270
00:11:30,518 –> 00:11:31,518
[Ramsey Smith]: that

271
00:11:31,384 –> 00:11:34,584
[Tamiko Toland]: the employers are starting to recognize this issue

272
00:11:31,384 –> 00:11:34,584
[Tamiko Toland]: the employers are starting to recognize this issue

273
00:11:35,204 –> 00:11:36,204
[Tamiko Toland]: and i

274
00:11:35,478 –> 00:11:36,478
[Ramsey Smith]: and i

275
00:11:35,680 –> 00:11:37,840
[Paul Tyler]: and i think it it just something something like

276
00:11:35,864 –> 00:11:37,704
[Tamiko Toland]: think and i don’t forget there’s also

277
00:11:37,518 –> 00:11:38,518
[Ramsey Smith]: like that

278
00:11:37,784 –> 00:11:38,904
[Tamiko Toland]: like the there’s the

279
00:11:38,740 –> 00:11:39,740
[Paul Tyler]: parent

280
00:11:38,984 –> 00:11:40,264
[Tamiko Toland]: carrot not just the stick that

281
00:11:40,038 –> 00:11:41,038
[Ramsey Smith]: sure

282
00:11:40,504 –> 00:11:45,064
[Tamiko Toland]: you know of trying to attract you know new employees um but you know a lot of

283
00:11:40,504 –> 00:11:45,064
[Tamiko Toland]: you know of trying to attract you know new employees um but you know a lot of

284
00:11:44,764 –> 00:11:45,764
[Tamiko Toland]: times

285
00:11:44,764 –> 00:11:45,764
[Tamiko Toland]: times

286
00:11:46,644 –> 00:11:47,644
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s what

287
00:11:47,078 –> 00:11:48,078
[Ramsey Smith]: would be hard

288
00:11:47,384 –> 00:11:48,584
[Tamiko Toland]: we talk about right

289
00:11:48,364 –> 00:11:49,364
[Tamiko Toland]: oh

290
00:11:48,420 –> 00:11:49,420
[Paul Tyler]: oh

291
00:11:48,518 –> 00:11:49,518
[Ramsey Smith]: oh

292
00:11:49,224 –> 00:11:51,704
[Tamiko Toland]: participants really want this but participants

293
00:11:51,558 –> 00:11:52,558
[Ramsey Smith]: one

294
00:11:51,784 –> 00:11:53,624
[Tamiko Toland]: wanting it isn’t necessarily enough to get

295
00:11:53,478 –> 00:11:54,478
[Ramsey Smith]: you know your

296
00:11:53,704 –> 00:11:57,864
[Tamiko Toland]: over the barrier of oh there’s risk for the sponsor and that has been where

297
00:11:57,558 –> 00:11:58,558
[Ramsey Smith]: your

298
00:11:58,104 –> 00:12:00,344
[Tamiko Toland]: a lot of the conversations have really

299
00:12:00,260 –> 00:12:01,260
[Paul Tyler]: water

300
00:12:00,504 –> 00:12:05,864
[Tamiko Toland]: revolved around and so it’s it’s some you know like it it’s a set of factors and

301
00:12:05,884 –> 00:12:06,884
[Tamiko Toland]: and one of them is

302
00:12:06,940 –> 00:12:07,940
[Paul Tyler]: born

303
00:12:07,084 –> 00:12:08,084
[Tamiko Toland]: lowering the barrier

304
00:12:09,144 –> 00:12:10,904
[Tamiko Toland]: from a risk perspective which

305
00:12:10,964 –> 00:12:11,964
[Tamiko Toland]: secure

306
00:12:11,060 –> 00:12:12,060
[Paul Tyler]: you

307
00:12:11,698 –> 00:12:12,898
[Ramsey Smith]: here i actually

308
00:12:11,784 –> 00:12:13,944
[Tamiko Toland]: act does actually uh remove

309
00:12:13,644 –> 00:12:14,644
[Tamiko Toland]: that

310
00:12:13,700 –> 00:12:14,700
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

311
00:12:14,318 –> 00:12:15,318
[Ramsey Smith]: that of

312
00:12:14,504 –> 00:12:19,464
[Tamiko Toland]: in terms of including a safe harb for selection of the insurer but there’s still

313
00:12:19,324 –> 00:12:20,324
[Tamiko Toland]: a big

314
00:12:19,764 –> 00:12:20,764
[Tamiko Toland]: gap

315
00:12:19,780 –> 00:12:20,780
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

316
00:12:21,684 –> 00:12:22,684
[Tamiko Toland]: for implementation

317
00:12:23,460 –> 00:12:24,460
[Paul Tyler]: and it is

318
00:12:23,704 –> 00:12:26,104
[Tamiko Toland]: and it is a very significant gap which is

319
00:12:25,860 –> 00:12:26,860
[Paul Tyler]: how

320
00:12:26,344 –> 00:12:27,544
[Tamiko Toland]: how do you actually

321
00:12:26,344 –> 00:12:27,544
[Tamiko Toland]: how do you actually

322
00:12:28,524 –> 00:12:29,524
[Tamiko Toland]: make the choice

323
00:12:30,124 –> 00:12:31,124
[Tamiko Toland]: and we

324
00:12:30,524 –> 00:12:31,524
[Tamiko Toland]: we

325
00:12:31,058 –> 00:12:32,178
[Ramsey Smith]: you know that there are

326
00:12:31,280 –> 00:12:32,720
[Paul Tyler]: else there are right

327
00:12:31,384 –> 00:12:35,464
[Tamiko Toland]: that there are sort of tried and true methods for other other

328
00:12:35,140 –> 00:12:36,140
[Paul Tyler]: other

329
00:12:35,398 –> 00:12:36,398
[Ramsey Smith]: other friend

330
00:12:35,704 –> 00:12:38,584
[Tamiko Toland]: investments target date funds right like yes

331
00:12:38,198 –> 00:12:39,198
[Ramsey Smith]: yes

332
00:12:38,484 –> 00:12:39,484
[Tamiko Toland]: we understand

333
00:12:39,804 –> 00:12:40,804
[Tamiko Toland]: how

334
00:12:39,958 –> 00:12:40,958
[Ramsey Smith]: i

335
00:12:40,664 –> 00:12:43,944
[Tamiko Toland]: other investment options um you know make it into a plan

336
00:12:45,464 –> 00:12:49,624
[Tamiko Toland]: um but we’re talking about something that’s not just another investment

337
00:12:50,664 –> 00:12:54,904
[Tamiko Toland]: income is a completely different conversation and it works differently it

338
00:12:54,918 –> 00:12:55,918
[Ramsey Smith]: that

339
00:12:55,064 –> 00:12:56,264
[Tamiko Toland]: affects the

340
00:12:56,500 –> 00:12:57,500
[Paul Tyler]: scientific

341
00:12:56,584 –> 00:12:59,944
[Tamiko Toland]: dynamics and you know particularly because you’re talking about post retirement

342
00:12:56,598 –> 00:12:57,598
[Ramsey Smith]: dynamic

343
00:13:00,044 –> 00:13:01,044
[Tamiko Toland]: right

344
00:13:00,738 –> 00:13:02,098
[Ramsey Smith]: like the do we

345
00:13:00,824 –> 00:13:03,624
[Tamiko Toland]: that that’s really where it kicks in so how

346
00:13:03,484 –> 00:13:04,484
[Tamiko Toland]: does it behave

347
00:13:03,638 –> 00:13:04,638
[Ramsey Smith]: so how ca

348
00:13:04,100 –> 00:13:05,100
[Paul Tyler]: keep water

349
00:13:04,424 –> 00:13:06,984
[Tamiko Toland]: before retirement do we have the same expectations that we do for other

350
00:13:06,820 –> 00:13:07,820
[Paul Tyler]: that

351
00:13:07,224 –> 00:13:10,584
[Tamiko Toland]: investments and so it’s a different mindset and so when you ask

352
00:13:10,180 –> 00:13:11,180
[Paul Tyler]: yes

353
00:13:10,744 –> 00:13:13,144
[Tamiko Toland]: me like what is the biggest challenge

354
00:13:12,918 –> 00:13:13,918
[Ramsey Smith]: out

355
00:13:13,564 –> 00:13:14,564
[Tamiko Toland]: we have been

356
00:13:13,564 –> 00:13:14,564
[Tamiko Toland]: we have been

357
00:13:16,104 –> 00:13:20,024
[Tamiko Toland]: working on a lot of the solutions that are necessary for example middleware

358
00:13:20,184 –> 00:13:21,304
[Tamiko Toland]: solutions which are

359
00:13:21,380 –> 00:13:22,380
[Paul Tyler]: really

360
00:13:21,784 –> 00:13:22,984
[Tamiko Toland]: really important for kind

361
00:13:22,620 –> 00:13:23,620
[Paul Tyler]: kind of

362
00:13:23,064 –> 00:13:25,784
[Tamiko Toland]: of like the connective tissue all right

363
00:13:25,540 –> 00:13:26,540
[Paul Tyler]: any

364
00:13:26,024 –> 00:13:30,904
[Tamiko Toland]: for you know getting everybody hooked up to this right and you know

365
00:13:30,580 –> 00:13:31,580
[Paul Tyler]: that

366
00:13:30,878 –> 00:13:31,878
[Ramsey Smith]: does that work

367
00:13:31,064 –> 00:13:35,864
[Tamiko Toland]: that market has matured significantly in the last decade right where pe you know

368
00:13:36,504 –> 00:13:42,264
[Tamiko Toland]: we’re seeing some some very positive change right but the reality is that for the

369
00:13:42,344 –> 00:13:43,544
[Tamiko Toland]: folks who are actually

370
00:13:45,144 –> 00:13:49,944
[Tamiko Toland]: look at considering these solutions income is not their native language

371
00:13:51,244 –> 00:13:52,244
[Tamiko Toland]: and

372
00:13:51,940 –> 00:13:52,940
[Paul Tyler]: i think that

373
00:13:52,184 –> 00:13:54,584
[Tamiko Toland]: i think that that is a huge hurdle

374
00:13:55,884 –> 00:13:56,884
[Tamiko Toland]: in terms of

375
00:13:57,244 –> 00:13:58,244
[Tamiko Toland]: getting

376
00:13:58,824 –> 00:14:05,304
[Tamiko Toland]: the let’s say the consultants retirement plan advisors comfortable with making

377
00:14:05,544 –> 00:14:10,504
[Tamiko Toland]: those recommendations and confident that they are doing that appropriately for

378
00:14:10,664 –> 00:14:12,984
[Tamiko Toland]: the sponsor client right and

379
00:14:12,604 –> 00:14:13,604
[Tamiko Toland]: the

380
00:14:12,918 –> 00:14:13,918
[Ramsey Smith]: it’s a lot

381
00:14:12,980 –> 00:14:13,980
[Paul Tyler]: what

382
00:14:13,304 –> 00:14:14,744
[Tamiko Toland]: sponsors have to feel like

383
00:14:14,818 –> 00:14:17,058
[Ramsey Smith]: like yeah that that makes sense it fun

384
00:14:14,984 –> 00:14:18,024
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah that that makes sense and i don’t think i just stuck

385
00:14:15,040 –> 00:14:16,880
[Paul Tyler]: yeah that’s it i

386
00:14:17,638 –> 00:14:18,638
[Ramsey Smith]: like

387
00:14:18,104 –> 00:14:23,144
[Tamiko Toland]: my neck out in order to do this and it’s not simply a matter of a legislative fix

388
00:14:23,304 –> 00:14:26,024
[Tamiko Toland]: because we like we don’t need another like

389
00:14:26,180 –> 00:14:27,180
[Paul Tyler]: like

390
00:14:26,664 –> 00:14:29,144
[Tamiko Toland]: dick rule about how to do this

391
00:14:26,664 –> 00:14:29,144
[Tamiko Toland]: dick rule about how to do this

392
00:14:30,264 –> 00:14:33,944
[Tamiko Toland]: and frankly the department of labor generally stays away from that like that you

393
00:14:34,024 –> 00:14:37,864
[Tamiko Toland]: know these things kind of evolve and the general guidelines yes but not very

394
00:14:38,184 –> 00:14:44,584
[Tamiko Toland]: specific details and particularly on a really a novel subject matter and a novel

395
00:14:44,984 –> 00:14:49,144
[Tamiko Toland]: product dynamic which is what income represents

396
00:14:49,840 –> 00:14:50,880
[Paul Tyler]: so okay when i

397
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:57,280
[Paul Tyler]: a two part question when i think toco of the group market i think like you

398
00:14:57,360 –> 00:15:00,960
[Paul Tyler]: mentioned a company with a very you know a very big company right

399
00:15:02,160 –> 00:15:07,680
[Paul Tyler]: if you’re marketing products or retirement plans into a large company the needs

400
00:15:07,760 –> 00:15:13,120
[Paul Tyler]: start to tier like executive senior the super executive management team may have

401
00:15:14,000 –> 00:15:17,600
[Paul Tyler]: they may have a fee based only advisory service that helps them do

402
00:15:17,164 –> 00:15:18,164
[Tamiko Toland]: see

403
00:15:17,760 –> 00:15:19,040
[Paul Tyler]: this you to go down

404
00:15:18,724 –> 00:15:19,724
[Tamiko Toland]: or something

405
00:15:19,280 –> 00:15:24,560
[Paul Tyler]: another tier these people aren’t so they they’ve got some big balances but

406
00:15:24,640 –> 00:15:28,880
[Paul Tyler]: they’re not going to have an advisor you get down farther than the company where

407
00:15:28,940 –> 00:15:29,940
[Paul Tyler]: i think i think i heard

408
00:15:29,558 –> 00:15:30,558
[Ramsey Smith]: favorite

409
00:15:29,660 –> 00:15:30,660
[Paul Tyler]: you talking

410
00:15:31,440 –> 00:15:34,880
[Paul Tyler]: or speaking to are people who are you know they’re just trying to pay the bills

411
00:15:34,740 –> 00:15:35,740
[Paul Tyler]: oh by the way

412
00:15:35,238 –> 00:15:36,238
[Ramsey Smith]: lot of time

413
00:15:35,600 –> 00:15:37,280
[Paul Tyler]: oh gee i did have a four one k

414
00:15:38,400 –> 00:15:41,040
[Paul Tyler]: how do you do you see the segmentation

415
00:15:42,400 –> 00:15:45,520
[Paul Tyler]: the drivers of adoption being or should they

416
00:15:45,238 –> 00:15:46,238
[Ramsey Smith]: really

417
00:15:45,680 –> 00:15:49,440
[Paul Tyler]: be different based on your income inside a company

418
00:15:51,564 –> 00:15:52,564
[Tamiko Toland]: so

419
00:15:51,798 –> 00:15:52,798
[Ramsey Smith]: no

420
00:15:52,604 –> 00:15:53,604
[Tamiko Toland]: the thing is that the

421
00:15:53,318 –> 00:15:54,318
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

422
00:15:54,524 –> 00:15:55,524
[Tamiko Toland]: really the

423
00:15:55,038 –> 00:15:56,038
[Ramsey Smith]: like that mind

424
00:15:55,384 –> 00:15:58,184
[Tamiko Toland]: mindset of thinking around this is that the

425
00:15:58,258 –> 00:15:59,298
[Ramsey Smith]: second actually

426
00:15:58,264 –> 00:16:03,304
[Tamiko Toland]: qt is the place where the assets fall because that is the you know the default

427
00:16:03,944 –> 00:16:10,264
[Tamiko Toland]: flows into the qa and that now has become target date funds right and so

428
00:16:09,878 –> 00:16:10,878
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

429
00:16:11,864 –> 00:16:14,504
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s the same thing of how we think about income

430
00:16:14,260 –> 00:16:15,260
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

431
00:16:14,604 –> 00:16:15,604
[Tamiko Toland]: now i’m

432
00:16:15,358 –> 00:16:16,358
[Ramsey Smith]: thank you john

433
00:16:15,544 –> 00:16:17,864
[Tamiko Toland]: gonna be honest with you like rich people

434
00:16:17,638 –> 00:16:18,638
[Ramsey Smith]: s

435
00:16:18,104 –> 00:16:19,624
[Tamiko Toland]: are fine right

436
00:16:19,778 –> 00:16:20,978
[Ramsey Smith]: right they’re knowing somebody

437
00:16:20,024 –> 00:16:22,024
[Tamiko Toland]: there’s always somebody who’s willing to give them

438
00:16:22,184 –> 00:16:26,584
[Tamiko Toland]: advice they they have lots of access to advice but the people who truly benefit

439
00:16:22,498 –> 00:16:23,938
[Ramsey Smith]: why have that

440
00:16:26,198 –> 00:16:27,198
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

441
00:16:27,544 –> 00:16:31,464
[Tamiko Toland]: within a retirement plan are those individuals who

442
00:16:31,600 –> 00:16:33,680
[Paul Tyler]: how do i smoke but

443
00:16:31,624 –> 00:16:37,224
[Tamiko Toland]: otherwise have no access to advice or guidance or anything right and so the

444
00:16:37,304 –> 00:16:40,424
[Tamiko Toland]: default all this entire structure that we’re talking about

445
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:42,720
[Paul Tyler]: e really

446
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:42,720
[Paul Tyler]: e really

447
00:16:41,604 –> 00:16:42,604
[Tamiko Toland]: is really

448
00:16:41,778 –> 00:16:43,218
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah sus

449
00:16:43,884 –> 00:16:44,884
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s

450
00:16:44,500 –> 00:16:45,500
[Paul Tyler]: i

451
00:16:44,744 –> 00:16:50,824
[Tamiko Toland]: designed to help those individuals who are much more on the margins and if if you

452
00:16:51,164 –> 00:16:52,164
[Tamiko Toland]: have outside

453
00:16:51,900 –> 00:16:52,900
[Paul Tyler]: i like

454
00:16:52,264 –> 00:16:56,024
[Tamiko Toland]: advice and your advice says no no no we have this different plan you don’t need

455
00:16:56,184 –> 00:17:00,024
[Tamiko Toland]: this you know we’ll put your money into something else that’s completely

456
00:17:00,104 –> 00:17:02,024
[Tamiko Toland]: fine and that is how the

457
00:17:00,198 –> 00:17:01,198
[Ramsey Smith]: why not

458
00:17:02,024 –> 00:17:04,264
[Tamiko Toland]: q is structured it’s a default it’s not

459
00:17:02,098 –> 00:17:03,138
[Ramsey Smith]: out thirty

460
00:17:03,878 –> 00:17:04,878
[Ramsey Smith]: not

461
00:17:04,344 –> 00:17:08,584
[Tamiko Toland]: like you’re not forced to stay in it right but but it needs to be

462
00:17:10,184 –> 00:17:11,704
[Tamiko Toland]: a quality solution

463
00:17:12,824 –> 00:17:16,424
[Tamiko Toland]: for those individuals who may not be

464
00:17:16,038 –> 00:17:17,038
[Ramsey Smith]: y

465
00:17:16,424 –> 00:17:21,304
[Tamiko Toland]: accumulating as much money in you know during their working years for retirement

466
00:17:21,460 –> 00:17:22,460
[Paul Tyler]: so

467
00:17:22,024 –> 00:17:27,064
[Tamiko Toland]: and who probably aren’t going to get other guidance right and so this is exactly

468
00:17:26,764 –> 00:17:27,764
[Tamiko Toland]: why

469
00:17:27,724 –> 00:17:28,724
[Tamiko Toland]: so

470
00:17:27,780 –> 00:17:28,780
[Paul Tyler]: so

471
00:17:27,958 –> 00:17:28,958
[Ramsey Smith]: so

472
00:17:28,344 –> 00:17:29,544
[Tamiko Toland]: many people are

473
00:17:29,420 –> 00:17:30,420
[Paul Tyler]: pla

474
00:17:29,784 –> 00:17:32,264
[Tamiko Toland]: passionate about this that it’s not yes

475
00:17:32,004 –> 00:17:33,004
[Tamiko Toland]: i mean

476
00:17:32,020 –> 00:17:33,020
[Paul Tyler]: i

477
00:17:32,664 –> 00:17:33,704
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s it’s great like that

478
00:17:32,738 –> 00:17:34,178
[Ramsey Smith]: i mean like the

479
00:17:33,380 –> 00:17:34,380
[Paul Tyler]: like that

480
00:17:33,844 –> 00:17:34,844
[Tamiko Toland]: from an asset gathering

481
00:17:34,838 –> 00:17:35,838
[Ramsey Smith]: now

482
00:17:34,904 –> 00:17:38,664
[Tamiko Toland]: standpoint whatever you know servicing all these people but you know you get

483
00:17:38,364 –> 00:17:39,364
[Tamiko Toland]: folks

484
00:17:38,918 –> 00:17:39,918
[Ramsey Smith]: smoke

485
00:17:39,224 –> 00:17:43,384
[Tamiko Toland]: like me who care deeply about it because you see this is a fantastic

486
00:17:43,238 –> 00:17:44,238
[Ramsey Smith]: not

487
00:17:43,464 –> 00:17:44,984
[Tamiko Toland]: way to reach

488
00:17:46,264 –> 00:17:48,184
[Tamiko Toland]: so many americans in a way

489
00:17:47,798 –> 00:17:48,798
[Ramsey Smith]: we

490
00:17:48,344 –> 00:17:50,424
[Tamiko Toland]: that the retail space is not going to

491
00:17:51,158 –> 00:17:52,158
[Ramsey Smith]: so

492
00:17:51,300 –> 00:17:52,300
[Paul Tyler]: oh

493
00:17:52,018 –> 00:17:56,978
[Ramsey Smith]: okay this is this is very you know interesting interesting element of it because

494
00:17:58,178 –> 00:18:04,658
[Ramsey Smith]: we live in a world where where this the same three the esg acronym comes up a lot

495
00:18:05,138 –> 00:18:09,858
[Ramsey Smith]: it comes up in investing it comes up certainly in board work i can tell you it

496
00:18:09,938 –> 00:18:11,938
[Ramsey Smith]: comes up in a lot of different places like esg

497
00:18:13,138 –> 00:18:14,498
[Ramsey Smith]: is is on the tip of

498
00:18:14,380 –> 00:18:15,380
[Paul Tyler]: i don’t know

499
00:18:14,498 –> 00:18:16,098
[Ramsey Smith]: everybody’s tongues because it’s it’s

500
00:18:15,878 –> 00:18:16,878
[Ramsey Smith]: it’s

501
00:18:16,044 –> 00:18:17,044
[Tamiko Toland]: expensive

502
00:18:16,260 –> 00:18:17,260
[Paul Tyler]: what

503
00:18:16,658 –> 00:18:18,578
[Ramsey Smith]: important in every aspect of business now

504
00:18:19,558 –> 00:18:20,558
[Ramsey Smith]: and you know one

505
00:18:20,100 –> 00:18:21,100
[Paul Tyler]: what

506
00:18:20,638 –> 00:18:21,638
[Ramsey Smith]: sort of sleeve of

507
00:18:21,278 –> 00:18:22,278
[Ramsey Smith]: esg

508
00:18:21,300 –> 00:18:22,300
[Paul Tyler]: yes

509
00:18:21,884 –> 00:18:22,884
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s pretty

510
00:18:22,338 –> 00:18:28,418
[Ramsey Smith]: that’s often talked about is banking to the un banked and you know here we’re

511
00:18:28,498 –> 00:18:34,418
[Ramsey Smith]: talking about i don’t have as neat a catch phrase as that but it’s sort of the it

512
00:18:34,498 –> 00:18:38,658
[Ramsey Smith]: is retirement income to the un income for lack of a better way

513
00:18:39,858 –> 00:18:41,858
[Ramsey Smith]: way to describe it but i’ve i very

514
00:18:41,780 –> 00:18:42,780
[Paul Tyler]: you

515
00:18:42,178 –> 00:18:45,698
[Ramsey Smith]: rarely heard it one described as an esg issue

516
00:18:46,818 –> 00:18:51,538
[Ramsey Smith]: and two i don’t really think i’ve heard any of the the current proponents of the

517
00:18:51,158 –> 00:18:52,158
[Ramsey Smith]: space

518
00:18:52,518 –> 00:18:53,518
[Ramsey Smith]: uh you

519
00:18:53,298 –> 00:18:59,218
[Ramsey Smith]: know describing it that way as as opportunistically as everybody else is using

520
00:18:53,360 –> 00:18:56,240
[Paul Tyler]: it was like that way yeah

521
00:18:59,858 –> 00:19:04,738
[Ramsey Smith]: using that acronym everywhere else in the business world so what your thoughts on

522
00:19:04,738 –> 00:19:07,298
[Ramsey Smith]: there is that a missed opportunity cause i think it’s real

523
00:19:09,164 –> 00:19:10,164
[Tamiko Toland]: um

524
00:19:12,024 –> 00:19:14,184
[Tamiko Toland]: i’m not sure i mean i i think that i

525
00:19:13,958 –> 00:19:14,958
[Ramsey Smith]: i

526
00:19:14,424 –> 00:19:15,544
[Tamiko Toland]: certainly have heard other people

527
00:19:15,238 –> 00:19:16,238
[Ramsey Smith]: it

528
00:19:15,704 –> 00:19:18,984
[Tamiko Toland]: talk about i’m not the only one who has articulated it like that

529
00:19:18,598 –> 00:19:19,598
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

530
00:19:19,500 –> 00:19:20,500
[Paul Tyler]: yeah i

531
00:19:19,704 –> 00:19:22,584
[Tamiko Toland]: so i think there are other voices out there saying the same thing

532
00:19:23,544 –> 00:19:25,784
[Tamiko Toland]: and i definitely see that passion

533
00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:25,360
[Paul Tyler]: and i guess see that

534
00:19:26,824 –> 00:19:29,304
[Tamiko Toland]: um among other stakeholders um

535
00:19:29,380 –> 00:19:30,380
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

536
00:19:30,024 –> 00:19:31,624
[Tamiko Toland]: you know is this the marketing opportunity

537
00:19:32,684 –> 00:19:33,684
[Tamiko Toland]: i

538
00:19:32,980 –> 00:19:33,980
[Paul Tyler]: i don’t know

539
00:19:33,118 –> 00:19:34,118
[Ramsey Smith]: i don’t know

540
00:19:33,224 –> 00:19:36,904
[Tamiko Toland]: don’t know because ultimately when you look at the dynamics of how

541
00:19:33,224 –> 00:19:36,904
[Tamiko Toland]: don’t know because ultimately when you look at the dynamics of how

542
00:19:36,420 –> 00:19:37,420
[Paul Tyler]: how

543
00:19:38,264 –> 00:19:40,904
[Tamiko Toland]: the these solutions are going to be placed

544
00:19:41,300 –> 00:19:42,300
[Paul Tyler]: and

545
00:19:41,784 –> 00:19:42,824
[Tamiko Toland]: and that

546
00:19:43,724 –> 00:19:44,724
[Tamiko Toland]: the

547
00:19:43,980 –> 00:19:44,980
[Paul Tyler]: the can

548
00:19:44,084 –> 00:19:45,084
[Tamiko Toland]: mechanical

549
00:19:44,718 –> 00:19:45,718
[Ramsey Smith]: go back

550
00:19:44,984 –> 00:19:47,624
[Tamiko Toland]: factors the the choices

551
00:19:47,398 –> 00:19:48,398
[Ramsey Smith]: this

552
00:19:47,784 –> 00:19:49,064
[Tamiko Toland]: that sponsors need to make

553
00:19:49,244 –> 00:19:50,244
[Tamiko Toland]: i

554
00:19:49,760 –> 00:19:52,320
[Paul Tyler]: i don’t think that that but i i think that

555
00:19:49,864 –> 00:19:52,824
[Tamiko Toland]: don’t think that that’s the thing but i do think that that drives

556
00:19:49,938 –> 00:19:52,818
[Ramsey Smith]: i don’t think that that i think five

557
00:19:53,404 –> 00:19:54,404
[Tamiko Toland]: really

558
00:19:55,304 –> 00:19:59,704
[Tamiko Toland]: you know the the legislative components right and the fact that in the regulatory

559
00:19:59,684 –> 00:20:00,684
[Tamiko Toland]: piece say we want

560
00:20:00,358 –> 00:20:01,358
[Ramsey Smith]: want be

574
00:20:16,500 –> 00:20:17,500
[Paul Tyler]: think

575
00:20:16,904 –> 00:20:21,144
[Tamiko Toland]: thinking about and they also want to make sure that it’s done responsibly so you

576
00:20:21,100 –> 00:20:22,100
[Paul Tyler]: you know i i just

577
00:20:21,224 –> 00:20:23,144
[Tamiko Toland]: know i i think that that may be a more

578
00:20:21,298 –> 00:20:22,498
[Ramsey Smith]: you know i i think it’s that

579
00:20:23,478 –> 00:20:24,478
[Ramsey Smith]: well

580
00:20:23,704 –> 00:20:25,224
[Tamiko Toland]: relevant conversation there

581
00:20:24,820 –> 00:20:25,820
[Paul Tyler]: there

582
00:20:24,998 –> 00:20:25,998
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

583
00:20:25,764 –> 00:20:26,764
[Tamiko Toland]: and it’s a

584
00:20:26,318 –> 00:20:27,318
[Ramsey Smith]: the one i

585
00:20:26,324 –> 00:20:27,324
[Tamiko Toland]: little bit different

586
00:20:26,324 –> 00:20:27,324
[Tamiko Toland]: little bit different

587
00:20:26,324 –> 00:20:27,324
[Tamiko Toland]: little bit different

588
00:20:28,258 –> 00:20:29,378
[Ramsey Smith]: um you know

589
00:20:28,584 –> 00:20:30,744
[Tamiko Toland]: because you know like i say when it

590
00:20:30,598 –> 00:20:31,598
[Ramsey Smith]: something

591
00:20:30,904 –> 00:20:34,184
[Tamiko Toland]: comes to building these q solutions this

592
00:20:34,184 –> 00:20:39,384
[Tamiko Toland]: is a different way of thinking about income than we’re really accustomed to in

593
00:20:34,258 –> 00:20:35,698
[Ramsey Smith]: which is a different way

594
00:20:39,464 –> 00:20:41,464
[Tamiko Toland]: retail because you know when you have an individual

595
00:20:41,540 –> 00:20:42,540
[Paul Tyler]: white

596
00:20:41,864 –> 00:20:45,384
[Tamiko Toland]: client and you know what their needs are then you make selections that are really

597
00:20:45,284 –> 00:20:46,284
[Tamiko Toland]: much more

598
00:20:47,304 –> 00:20:53,704
[Tamiko Toland]: optimized for you know what their goals are right and so you can use these you

599
00:20:53,324 –> 00:20:54,324
[Tamiko Toland]: know

600
00:20:53,780 –> 00:20:54,780
[Paul Tyler]: i

601
00:20:54,044 –> 00:20:55,044
[Tamiko Toland]: products that are as

602
00:20:55,198 –> 00:20:56,198
[Ramsey Smith]: i know

603
00:20:55,304 –> 00:20:59,224
[Tamiko Toland]: we all know like so much of the annuity industry has become highly specialized

604
00:20:59,324 –> 00:21:00,324
[Tamiko Toland]: you know you have

605
00:21:00,258 –> 00:21:01,618
[Ramsey Smith]: no that is

606
00:21:00,424 –> 00:21:03,144
[Tamiko Toland]: you know this benefit that’s torque one way

607
00:21:02,878 –> 00:21:03,878
[Ramsey Smith]: one way

608
00:21:03,304 –> 00:21:05,064
[Tamiko Toland]: and other benefit that’s toed in

609
00:21:04,838 –> 00:21:05,838
[Ramsey Smith]: another way

610
00:21:05,144 –> 00:21:08,264
[Tamiko Toland]: another way and they are different use cases right and

611
00:21:08,580 –> 00:21:09,580
[Paul Tyler]: that’s

612
00:21:08,904 –> 00:21:13,384
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s to the benefit of the end client of making it more focused right and that

613
00:21:12,518 –> 00:21:13,518
[Ramsey Smith]: i

614
00:21:13,140 –> 00:21:14,140
[Paul Tyler]: that what

615
00:21:13,164 –> 00:21:14,164
[Tamiko Toland]: doesn’t apply

616
00:21:13,198 –> 00:21:14,198
[Ramsey Smith]: think that a lot

617
00:21:15,064 –> 00:21:19,144
[Tamiko Toland]: right so much when you think about pda you’re not necessarily having a single

618
00:21:19,004 –> 00:21:20,004
[Tamiko Toland]: minded goal like

619
00:21:19,564 –> 00:21:20,564
[Tamiko Toland]: you’re

620
00:21:19,798 –> 00:21:20,798
[Ramsey Smith]: talk

621
00:21:19,860 –> 00:21:20,860
[Paul Tyler]: i my

622
00:21:20,264 –> 00:21:24,504
[Tamiko Toland]: not trying to maximize income for every single person you have to balance out

623
00:21:24,198 –> 00:21:25,198
[Ramsey Smith]: i

624
00:21:24,664 –> 00:21:26,824
[Tamiko Toland]: those interests because some people are going to end

625
00:21:26,678 –> 00:21:27,678
[Ramsey Smith]: and i

626
00:21:26,984 –> 00:21:31,464
[Tamiko Toland]: up at retirement not selecting that that benefit despite the fact that they’ve

627
00:21:31,544 –> 00:21:35,224
[Tamiko Toland]: paid into it whether it’s a decision made out of ignorance or they got diagnosed

628
00:21:35,224 –> 00:21:38,504
[Tamiko Toland]: with the terrible cancer right before they retired you know and they have

629
00:21:39,224 –> 00:21:42,664
[Tamiko Toland]: different goals um for their their post working years

630
00:21:43,458 –> 00:21:44,498
[Ramsey Smith]: about art

631
00:21:43,604 –> 00:21:44,604
[Tamiko Toland]: you know there are

632
00:21:46,904 –> 00:21:48,824
[Tamiko Toland]: it is just a different problem to solve

633
00:21:49,078 –> 00:21:50,078
[Ramsey Smith]: g

634
00:21:49,284 –> 00:21:50,284
[Tamiko Toland]: right then

635
00:21:49,980 –> 00:21:50,980
[Paul Tyler]: wow

636
00:21:50,424 –> 00:21:53,304
[Tamiko Toland]: looking at it as you know client a

[Ramsey Smith]: what

641
00:21:54,504 –> 00:21:55,864
[Tamiko Toland]: fitting solutions to that

642
00:21:55,220 –> 00:21:56,220
[Paul Tyler]: okay

643
00:21:55,558 –> 00:21:56,558

[Paul Tyler]: just took it take a job as uh you know somebody working in one of the stores i’m

648
00:22:09,760 –> 00:22:11,440

00:22:26,000 –> 00:22:30,000
[Paul Tyler]: how would you change that that setup for me to start putting money in there do i

653
00:22:30,080 –> 00:22:35,280
[Paul Tyler]: have a choice is there a default you know if you don’t say this paul you will get

654
00:22:35,920 –> 00:22:41,520
[Paul Tyler]: x percent of your savings in the four k and x percent is going to default into

655
00:22:41,540 –> 00:22:42,540
[Paul Tyler]: this income

656
00:22:43,060 –> 00:22:44,060

[Ramsey Smith]: that

659
00:22:44,904 –> 00:22:51,064
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s the idea behind defaulting is that you don’t have to convince paul to sign

660
00:22:50,844 –> 00:22:51,844
[Tamiko Toland]: up

661
00:22:52,204 –> 00:22:53,204
[Tamiko Toland]: that you

662
00:22:54,024 –> 00:22:59,384
[Tamiko Toland]: don’t need to get educated about the benefits of of contributing to four o one k

663
00:22:59,624 –> 00:23:03,544
[Tamiko Toland]: the money goes in there you get your match and then you’re put into something

664
00:23:03,704 –> 00:23:07,864
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s suitable for you right and so conceptually yes that those are all

665
00:23:09,624 –> 00:23:10,984
[Tamiko Toland]: components of why

666
00:23:10,580 –> 00:23:11,580
[Paul Tyler]: why

667
00:23:11,064 –> 00:23:15,064
[Tamiko Toland]: we’re thinking so strongly about qa and not simply having sort of the

668
00:23:15,064 –> 00:23:17,304
[Tamiko Toland]: availability of options

669
00:23:18,664 –> 00:23:23,304
[Tamiko Toland]: before or at retirement that’s part of what the industry calls the retirement

670
00:23:23,464 –> 00:23:27,784
[Tamiko Toland]: tier right which is a range of different options to suit two different needs

671
00:23:27,724 –> 00:23:28,724
[Tamiko Toland]: right

672
00:23:28,158 –> 00:23:29,158
[Ramsey Smith]: you could

673
00:23:28,504 –> 00:23:34,104
[Tamiko Toland]: but a lot of that is elective and not defaulted um you know it was interesting i

674
00:23:33,724 –> 00:23:34,724
[Tamiko Toland]: was

675
00:23:34,380 –> 00:23:35,380
[Paul Tyler]: out uh

676
00:23:34,424 –> 00:23:37,384
[Tamiko Toland]: at the deci a innovation forum and

677
00:23:37,860 –> 00:23:38,860
[Paul Tyler]: oh

678
00:23:38,664 –> 00:23:40,504
[Tamiko Toland]: somebody was presenting information about

679
00:23:42,264 –> 00:23:47,304
[Tamiko Toland]: engagement with plans and that defaulting is great for getting people into the

680
00:23:47,464 –> 00:23:50,664
[Tamiko Toland]: plan but people don’t engage with their plans as much when

681
00:23:50,340 –> 00:23:51,340
[Paul Tyler]: maybe

682
00:23:50,824 –> 00:23:56,504
[Tamiko Toland]: they’re simply defaulted right and so there’s kind of a tension between these

683
00:23:56,744 –> 00:23:57,864
[Tamiko Toland]: facts because you want

684
00:23:58,104 –> 00:24:00,744
[Tamiko Toland]: people to understand what they’re in and to perhaps

685
00:23:58,158 –> 00:23:59,158
[Ramsey Smith]: one one three

686
00:24:00,558 –> 00:24:01,558
[Ramsey Smith]: i watch

687
00:24:00,824 –> 00:24:04,744
[Tamiko Toland]: decide to increase their allocation right and so this is actually kind of a whole

688
00:24:04,824 –> 00:24:09,464
[Tamiko Toland]: other conversation around participant engagement that would also be beneficial

689
00:24:09,544 –> 00:24:11,624
[Tamiko Toland]: and also enhances because you know

690
00:24:11,460 –> 00:24:12,460
[Paul Tyler]: we

691
00:24:11,784 –> 00:24:14,184
[Tamiko Toland]: frankly people aren’t used to they use the idea

692
00:24:13,940 –> 00:24:14,940
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

693
00:24:14,504 –> 00:24:16,584
[Tamiko Toland]: of receiving income from their employer

694
00:24:17,484 –> 00:24:18,484
[Tamiko Toland]: through a pension

695
00:24:18,980 –> 00:24:19,980
[Paul Tyler]: but they’re not

696
00:24:19,224 –> 00:24:22,744
[Tamiko Toland]: but they’re not used to this as part of the four o one k because it’s it’s not a

697
00:24:22,824 –> 00:24:27,544
[Tamiko Toland]: standard part of the landscape frankly you know relatively few plans even offer

698
00:24:27,624 –> 00:24:28,664
[Tamiko Toland]: it on on the

699
00:24:28,638 –> 00:24:29,638
[Ramsey Smith]: i don’t know

700
00:24:28,744 –> 00:24:30,584
[Tamiko Toland]: outbound you when you retire

701
00:24:31,164 –> 00:24:32,164
[Tamiko Toland]: but

702
00:24:31,680 –> 00:24:34,480
[Paul Tyler]: but you know i i wanna ask there’s

703
00:24:31,838 –> 00:24:32,838
[Ramsey Smith]: but you know i

704
00:24:32,104 –> 00:24:35,704
[Tamiko Toland]: you know i i want to add one other thing that there’s another trend right now for

705
00:24:32,104 –> 00:24:35,704
[Tamiko Toland]: you know i i want to add one other thing that there’s another trend right now for

706
00:24:36,504 –> 00:24:42,024
[Tamiko Toland]: um more sponsors to want to keep retiree assets in plan and designing these

707
00:24:36,504 –> 00:24:42,024
[Tamiko Toland]: um more sponsors to want to keep retiree assets in plan and designing these

708
00:24:42,184 –> 00:24:45,064
[Tamiko Toland]: solutions also serves that interest

709
00:24:42,184 –> 00:24:45,064
[Tamiko Toland]: solutions also serves that interest

710
00:24:46,104 –> 00:24:47,224
[Tamiko Toland]: um it you

711
00:24:46,820 –> 00:24:47,820
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

712
00:24:46,884 –> 00:24:47,884
[Tamiko Toland]: know s

713
00:24:47,798 –> 00:24:48,798
[Ramsey Smith]: some sometimes

714
00:24:47,864 –> 00:24:50,104
[Tamiko Toland]: some some designs they may roll

715
00:24:49,838 –> 00:24:50,838
[Ramsey Smith]: wow

716
00:24:50,184 –> 00:24:52,424
[Tamiko Toland]: out but a lot of them you’re keeping

717
00:24:53,844 –> 00:24:54,844
[Tamiko Toland]: if not all the

718
00:24:54,358 –> 00:24:55,358
[Ramsey Smith]: all that

719
00:24:54,744 –> 00:24:57,704
[Tamiko Toland]: acids are bulk of them inside the plan so

720
00:24:57,940 –> 00:24:58,940
[Paul Tyler]: right

721
00:24:58,278 –> 00:24:59,278
[Ramsey Smith]: so

722
00:24:58,640 –> 00:25:01,360
[Paul Tyler]: amy sorry we just one follow up on that

723
00:25:03,760 –> 00:25:07,840
[Paul Tyler]: my experience has been it is so hard to change a form from an insurance company

724
00:25:08,080 –> 00:25:09,440
[Paul Tyler]: or a fourk provider

725
00:25:11,280 –> 00:25:15,200
[Paul Tyler]: do you have models sort of best language for introducing an income conversation

726
00:25:15,760 –> 00:25:19,200
[Paul Tyler]: because you know four hundred one thousand okay everybody kinda understands four

727
00:25:19,280 –> 00:25:23,600
[Paul Tyler]: on k well how old is paul tyler you know if i’m twenty one

728
00:25:24,960 –> 00:25:29,760
[Paul Tyler]: gee maybe i’m defaulting here but i should sort of hm maybe i take it down maybe

729
00:25:29,620 –> 00:25:30,620
[Paul Tyler]: i’m

730
00:25:31,280 –> 00:25:36,320
[Paul Tyler]: actually in my fifty seconds maybe i should like allocate that initially more i

731
00:25:36,320 –> 00:25:41,040
[Paul Tyler]: mean do you have models that say this is the language it should be there for so

732
00:25:41,120 –> 00:25:44,800
[Paul Tyler]: paul makes the best optimal decision when i set it up

733
00:25:46,564 –> 00:25:47,564
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah it’s a good question

734
00:25:47,324 –> 00:25:48,324
[Tamiko Toland]: and

735
00:25:47,398 –> 00:25:48,398
[Ramsey Smith]: like you

736
00:25:47,620 –> 00:25:48,620
[Paul Tyler]: no

737
00:25:48,024 –> 00:25:52,664
[Tamiko Toland]: there aren’t models for it i mean the only model is you know i would say the

738
00:25:52,744 –> 00:25:55,624
[Tamiko Toland]: largest plan out there um if you look

739
00:25:55,300 –> 00:25:56,300
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

740
00:25:55,704 –> 00:25:59,864
[Tamiko Toland]: at rath on’s participant communications they do an excellent job

741
00:25:59,558 –> 00:26:00,558
[Ramsey Smith]: job

742
00:26:00,124 –> 00:26:01,124
[Tamiko Toland]: of

743
00:26:01,158 –> 00:26:02,158
[Ramsey Smith]: showing

744
00:26:01,224 –> 00:26:04,344
[Tamiko Toland]: showing different personas of different folks who would want to

745
00:26:03,958 –> 00:26:04,958
[Ramsey Smith]: one

746
00:26:04,424 –> 00:26:08,584
[Tamiko Toland]: stay in the plan or in in that uh guaranteed income option or

747
00:26:08,398 –> 00:26:09,398
[Ramsey Smith]: what else

748
00:26:08,684 –> 00:26:09,684
[Tamiko Toland]: not right

749
00:26:10,524 –> 00:26:11,524
[Tamiko Toland]: but you know

750
00:26:11,384 –> 00:26:14,504
[Tamiko Toland]: i think part of the understanding of this is that there are also

751
00:26:11,458 –> 00:26:13,058
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah i think more fun

752
00:26:14,100 –> 00:26:15,100
[Paul Tyler]: are

753
00:26:14,664 –> 00:26:18,024
[Tamiko Toland]: different models of how how they work and at

754
00:26:14,738 –> 00:26:16,098
[Ramsey Smith]: are watching house

755
00:26:17,798 –> 00:26:18,798
[Ramsey Smith]: that

756
00:26:17,804 –> 00:26:18,804
[Tamiko Toland]: what

757
00:26:18,300 –> 00:26:19,300
[Paul Tyler]: what point

758
00:26:18,584 –> 00:26:22,264
[Tamiko Toland]: point you are accumulating that future income and so much of that really

759
00:26:18,584 –> 00:26:22,264
[Tamiko Toland]: point you are accumulating that future income and so much of that really

760
00:26:22,424 –> 00:26:27,544
[Tamiko Toland]: ultimately comes down to how the solution works but for the most part there’s you

761
00:26:22,424 –> 00:26:27,544
[Tamiko Toland]: ultimately comes down to how the solution works but for the most part there’s you

762
00:26:27,544 –> 00:26:29,464
[Tamiko Toland]: know there’s an idea that at a certain age

763
00:26:27,544 –> 00:26:29,464
[Tamiko Toland]: know there’s an idea that at a certain age

764
00:26:28,780 –> 00:26:29,780
[Paul Tyler]: seventies

765
00:26:30,164 –> 00:26:31,164
[Tamiko Toland]: you have

766
00:26:30,620 –> 00:26:31,620
[Paul Tyler]: i like

767
00:26:30,824 –> 00:26:32,344
[Tamiko Toland]: a glide path into income

768
00:26:33,040 –> 00:26:34,880
[Paul Tyler]: it’s just like you have a good life

769
00:26:33,224 –> 00:26:37,384
[Tamiko Toland]: just like you would have a a glide path with a regular target day fund and so

770
00:26:37,084 –> 00:26:38,084
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s

771
00:26:37,300 –> 00:26:38,300
[Paul Tyler]: how

772
00:26:37,784 –> 00:26:41,064
[Tamiko Toland]: how a lot of them actually work um so it’s

773
00:26:42,084 –> 00:26:43,084
[Tamiko Toland]: you know when you think about

774
00:26:43,118 –> 00:26:44,118
[Ramsey Smith]: about the

775
00:26:43,224 –> 00:26:46,744
[Tamiko Toland]: the the range of different participants and their ages it

776
00:26:46,340 –> 00:26:47,340
[Paul Tyler]: you

777
00:26:46,824 –> 00:26:49,064
[Tamiko Toland]: may be completely irrelevant if you’re thirty

778
00:26:46,824 –> 00:26:49,064
[Tamiko Toland]: may be completely irrelevant if you’re thirty

779
00:26:46,898 –> 00:26:48,658
[Ramsey Smith]: it maybe holiday

780
00:26:50,504 –> 00:26:51,864
[Tamiko Toland]: because you’re not going to be

781
00:26:52,598 –> 00:26:53,598
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

782
00:26:52,744 –> 00:26:55,784
[Tamiko Toland]: investing in it yet you know you’re not going to be accumulating that future

783
00:26:55,764 –> 00:26:56,764
[Tamiko Toland]: income

784
00:26:57,244 –> 00:26:58,244
[Tamiko Toland]: yet

785
00:26:57,478 –> 00:26:58,478
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

786
00:26:58,264 –> 00:26:59,544
[Tamiko Toland]: knowing that that is something that

787
00:26:59,220 –> 00:27:00,220
[Paul Tyler]: y

788
00:26:59,704 –> 00:27:00,824
[Tamiko Toland]: will happen in the future

789
00:27:00,478 –> 00:27:01,478
[Ramsey Smith]: the future

790
00:27:01,484 –> 00:27:02,484
[Tamiko Toland]: can be quite

791
00:27:01,860 –> 00:27:02,860
[Paul Tyler]: we

792
00:27:02,424 –> 00:27:06,264
[Tamiko Toland]: reassuring to employees and it would be potentially an inducement to

793
00:27:05,860 –> 00:27:06,860
[Paul Tyler]: zero

794
00:27:06,264 –> 00:27:10,184
[Tamiko Toland]: stay at a company if you were considering you know going somewhere else so i

795
00:27:09,980 –> 00:27:10,980
[Paul Tyler]: ninety nine

796
00:27:10,238 –> 00:27:11,238
[Ramsey Smith]: ninety nine by

797
00:27:10,324 –> 00:27:11,324
[Tamiko Toland]: you know i i could see

798
00:27:11,740 –> 00:27:12,740
[Paul Tyler]: i get

799
00:27:12,184 –> 00:27:14,984
[Tamiko Toland]: again this goes more to the participants like

800
00:27:14,580 –> 00:27:15,580
[Paul Tyler]: like

801
00:27:15,144 –> 00:27:21,064
[Tamiko Toland]: the idea of income you know uh mindset as opposed to this is beneficial for the

802
00:27:20,964 –> 00:27:21,964
[Tamiko Toland]: sponsors i

803
00:27:21,460 –> 00:27:22,460
[Paul Tyler]: maybe

804
00:27:22,024 –> 00:27:23,864
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s beneficial for everybody frankly

805
00:27:24,518 –> 00:27:25,518
[Ramsey Smith]: so

806
00:27:25,120 –> 00:27:26,560
[Paul Tyler]: no i wanted to say that before

807
00:27:25,138 –> 00:27:29,298
[Ramsey Smith]: i wanted to pick up on what you were saying about staying in plan

808
00:27:30,338 –> 00:27:34,338
[Ramsey Smith]: and this is something that’s that’s been a particular interest to me and

809
00:27:35,538 –> 00:27:37,778
[Ramsey Smith]: i want to hear what you think about what the potential

810
00:27:38,898 –> 00:27:43,138
[Ramsey Smith]: implications are well first of all what are the what is the motivation start with

811
00:27:38,898 –> 00:27:43,138
[Ramsey Smith]: implications are well first of all what are the what is the motivation start with

812
00:27:39,060 –> 00:27:40,060
[Paul Tyler]: she

813
00:27:43,458 –> 00:27:49,218
[Ramsey Smith]: the motivation for for plan sponsors wanting to keep keep people in plan you know

814
00:27:43,458 –> 00:27:49,218
[Ramsey Smith]: the motivation for for plan sponsors wanting to keep keep people in plan you know

815
00:27:49,458 –> 00:27:54,658
[Ramsey Smith]: not just into retirement but through retirement then the second thing is would be

816
00:27:49,458 –> 00:27:54,658
[Ramsey Smith]: not just into retirement but through retirement then the second thing is would be

817
00:27:55,378 –> 00:28:00,178
[Ramsey Smith]: you know what are the implications and requirements for them and how that might

818
00:27:55,378 –> 00:28:00,178
[Ramsey Smith]: you know what are the implications and requirements for them and how that might

819
00:28:00,338 –> 00:28:04,338
[Ramsey Smith]: be different than what they’ve done in the past so let’s first start start with

820
00:28:00,338 –> 00:28:04,338
[Ramsey Smith]: be different than what they’ve done in the past so let’s first start start with

821
00:28:04,418 –> 00:28:09,858
[Ramsey Smith]: the motivation like why do you think a planned sponsor would not want to just

822
00:28:04,418 –> 00:28:09,858
[Ramsey Smith]: the motivation like why do you think a planned sponsor would not want to just

823
00:28:09,938 –> 00:28:13,618
[Ramsey Smith]: wash their hands of the retiree once they leave the company like

824
00:28:09,938 –> 00:28:13,618
[Ramsey Smith]: wash their hands of the retiree once they leave the company like

825
00:28:14,738 –> 00:28:18,178
[Ramsey Smith]: why where are we now in a world where maybe they want to keep people in plan for

826
00:28:17,958 –> 00:28:18,958
[Ramsey Smith]: longer

827
00:28:19,404 –> 00:28:20,404
[Tamiko Toland]: well

828
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:21,200
[Paul Tyler]: what do you breakfast

829
00:28:20,024 –> 00:28:24,664
[Tamiko Toland]: i think they are recognizing the advantages of scale right you keep more folks in

830
00:28:24,744 –> 00:28:28,904
[Tamiko Toland]: your you plan you have larger assets and then you were able to drive down costs i

831
00:28:28,984 –> 00:28:34,424
[Tamiko Toland]: mean that that’s a that’s a pretty basic dynamic from a pricing perspective

832
00:28:36,264 –> 00:28:39,624
[Tamiko Toland]: and like i say there’s blended models and what have you in terms of like what

833
00:28:39,784 –> 00:28:42,664
[Tamiko Toland]: happens with the actual income component um

834
00:28:43,704 –> 00:28:45,944
[Tamiko Toland]: and i i think there’s there’s always

835
00:28:46,000 –> 00:28:47,840
[Paul Tyler]: we we settled from

836
00:28:46,264 –> 00:28:49,704
[Tamiko Toland]: there are much more subtle conversations and probably differences among different

837
00:28:49,864 –> 00:28:52,504
[Tamiko Toland]: types of sponsors um you

838
00:28:52,124 –> 00:28:53,124
[Tamiko Toland]: know

839
00:28:52,180 –> 00:28:53,180
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

840
00:28:52,278 –> 00:28:53,278
[Ramsey Smith]: so

841
00:28:52,904 –> 00:28:56,984
[Tamiko Toland]: i think the traditional mindset has really been like you know oh this

842
00:28:57,380 –> 00:28:58,380
[Paul Tyler]: it

843
00:28:57,398 –> 00:28:58,398
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

844
00:28:57,624 –> 00:28:58,744
[Tamiko Toland]: participant isn’t

845
00:28:59,300 –> 00:29:00,300
[Paul Tyler]: even a work

846
00:28:59,304 –> 00:29:02,344
[Tamiko Toland]: isn’t a worker here anymore so we just we want

847
00:29:01,940 –> 00:29:02,940
[Paul Tyler]: what

848
00:29:02,424 –> 00:29:05,944
[Tamiko Toland]: to kind of sever that responsibility because it is a fiduciary relationship

849
00:29:02,424 –> 00:29:05,944
[Tamiko Toland]: to kind of sever that responsibility because it is a fiduciary relationship

850
00:29:06,844 –> 00:29:07,844
[Tamiko Toland]: um but

851
00:29:07,220 –> 00:29:08,220
[Paul Tyler]: like

852
00:29:07,718 –> 00:29:08,718
[Ramsey Smith]: but you

853
00:29:07,784 –> 00:29:11,784
[Tamiko Toland]: you know there there are advantages too frankly for the worker

854
00:29:12,664 –> 00:29:15,944
[Tamiko Toland]: right that you know this i because it is a fiduciary relationship

855
00:29:12,720 –> 00:29:14,720
[Paul Tyler]: right but you could be

856
00:29:17,304 –> 00:29:20,424
[Tamiko Toland]: and you know you may be able to take advantage of things you’re not gonna get

857
00:29:17,304 –> 00:29:20,424
[Tamiko Toland]: and you know you may be able to take advantage of things you’re not gonna get

858
00:29:17,378 –> 00:29:18,738
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah maybe you

859
00:29:20,664 –> 00:29:21,944
[Tamiko Toland]: elsewhere so

860
00:29:20,664 –> 00:29:21,944
[Tamiko Toland]: elsewhere so

861
00:29:22,898 –> 00:29:26,178
[Ramsey Smith]: so sorry i wanna just just follow up on this paul so

862
00:29:26,838 –> 00:29:27,838
[Ramsey Smith]: so

863
00:29:27,420 –> 00:29:28,420
[Paul Tyler]: what weekend

864
00:29:27,458 –> 00:29:32,818
[Ramsey Smith]: i’m with you i’m with you and i and i i agree a it’s it’s it’s part and parcel

865
00:29:32,580 –> 00:29:33,580
[Paul Tyler]: what

866
00:29:32,978 –> 00:29:37,218
[Ramsey Smith]: why this is an attractive opportunity for plan sponsors and frankly for asset

867
00:29:37,298 –> 00:29:38,578
[Ramsey Smith]: managers and carriers

868
00:29:39,778 –> 00:29:43,858
[Ramsey Smith]: the one question though was so at that at that point of transition so you are a

869
00:29:43,938 –> 00:29:49,698
[Ramsey Smith]: fiduciary and you now want somebody to stay in plan you know after age sixty five

870
00:29:50,418 –> 00:29:54,418
[Ramsey Smith]: but now this person in theory can go a lot of other places right they can roll

871
00:29:54,498 –> 00:29:56,178
[Ramsey Smith]: over and go to you know any number

872
00:29:57,298 –> 00:30:03,938
[Ramsey Smith]: of sort of established you know asset manager sort of providers or broker broker

873
00:30:04,018 –> 00:30:09,138
[Ramsey Smith]: dealer providers who have these entire suites of services and so in some sense

874
00:30:09,378 –> 00:30:12,898
[Ramsey Smith]: you’re telling the person well you should stay here with what we offer the

875
00:30:13,058 –> 00:30:16,898
[Ramsey Smith]: service offering we have which may or may not be as expansive as all the other

876
00:30:17,058 –> 00:30:22,018
[Ramsey Smith]: things that they might do like is that is there a fiduciary responsibility there

877
00:30:22,258 –> 00:30:27,538
[Ramsey Smith]: that that is that is also quite different literally at the point of at the point

878
00:30:27,698 –> 00:30:31,698
[Ramsey Smith]: of transition and not just not just managing but but basically saying please stay

879
00:30:31,638 –> 00:30:32,638
[Ramsey Smith]: as opposed to going

880
00:30:33,644 –> 00:30:34,644
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah and i

881
00:30:34,100 –> 00:30:35,100
[Paul Tyler]: i don’t know

882
00:30:34,344 –> 00:30:36,344
[Tamiko Toland]: don’t know that the rhetoric is you should stay

883
00:30:37,118 –> 00:30:38,118
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah right

884
00:30:37,260 –> 00:30:38,260
[Paul Tyler]: i think they’re

885
00:30:37,384 –> 00:30:41,784
[Tamiko Toland]: i think they the rhetoric is much more hey this is the benefit that you’ve

886
00:30:37,384 –> 00:30:41,784
[Tamiko Toland]: i think they the rhetoric is much more hey this is the benefit that you’ve

887
00:30:41,784 –> 00:30:45,224
[Tamiko Toland]: accumulated and then you know you can make your own decision whether that’s with

888
00:30:41,784 –> 00:30:45,224
[Tamiko Toland]: accumulated and then you know you can make your own decision whether that’s with

889
00:30:44,844 –> 00:30:45,844
[Tamiko Toland]: the

890
00:30:44,844 –> 00:30:45,844
[Tamiko Toland]: the

891
00:30:46,504 –> 00:30:51,784
[Tamiko Toland]: with some some degree of guidance um or if that’s independent of that um and

892
00:30:51,684 –> 00:30:52,684
[Tamiko Toland]: there’s just information

893
00:30:53,544 –> 00:30:55,784
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s conveyed i mean there are a lot of

894
00:30:55,398 –> 00:30:56,398
[Ramsey Smith]: what

895
00:30:55,864 –> 00:30:57,544
[Tamiko Toland]: different models of how to do that but i

896
00:30:57,420 –> 00:30:58,420
[Paul Tyler]: i think that

897
00:30:57,704 –> 00:31:02,024
[Tamiko Toland]: i think the premise that it’s you should say because we want to keep your assets

898
00:31:02,104 –> 00:31:03,304
[Tamiko Toland]: in plan it is

899
00:31:03,544 –> 00:31:08,824
[Tamiko Toland]: probably not the way that i would think about it and also you know the rollover

900
00:31:03,600 –> 00:31:06,720
[Paul Tyler]: probably no week i about it i it also

901
00:31:09,064 –> 00:31:10,744
[Tamiko Toland]: situation right now is in flux

902
00:31:10,838 –> 00:31:11,838
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

903
00:31:11,224 –> 00:31:15,304
[Tamiko Toland]: and so the relative ease with which that can happen is like that

904
00:31:15,378 –> 00:31:17,618
[Ramsey Smith]: that’s i think that’s very important

905
00:31:16,000 –> 00:31:17,760
[Paul Tyler]: i think that that works

906
00:31:16,024 –> 00:31:17,944
[Tamiko Toland]: i think that’s a at question so

907
00:31:18,980 –> 00:31:19,980
[Paul Tyler]: very

908
00:31:19,464 –> 00:31:24,424
[Tamiko Toland]: there is more reason for the sponsors to be offering like good

909
00:31:25,704 –> 00:31:27,384
[Tamiko Toland]: options within their plans

910
00:31:28,164 –> 00:31:29,164
[Tamiko Toland]: right um

911
00:31:29,944 –> 00:31:32,584
[Tamiko Toland]: and we’ll we’ll just see we’ll see how things evolve it’s just going to say you

912
00:31:32,664 –> 00:31:34,744
[Tamiko Toland]: know adoptions not quick that and that’s reality

913
00:31:35,440 –> 00:31:36,560
[Paul Tyler]: yeah i’m trying to think if i

914
00:31:35,698 –> 00:31:40,338
[Ramsey Smith]: it’s just hard to figure out whether whether the new rollover rules create more

915
00:31:40,498 –> 00:31:45,458
[Ramsey Smith]: problems for the people that are trying to be rolled over into right or if they

916
00:31:45,060 –> 00:31:46,060
[Paul Tyler]: so

917
00:31:45,618 –> 00:31:51,298
[Ramsey Smith]: also create similar challenges for for for somebody that says don’t roll out

918
00:31:51,718 –> 00:31:52,718
[Ramsey Smith]: right that’s

919
00:31:53,858 –> 00:31:58,498
[Ramsey Smith]: these are open issues but uh it’s the complexity the complexity is striking to me

920
00:31:58,800 –> 00:32:03,760
[Paul Tyler]: yeah i think for our listeners who are independent agents or advisors

921
00:32:05,200 –> 00:32:10,240
[Paul Tyler]: you know the plus is the employers have started that income conversation

922
00:32:11,078 –> 00:32:12,078
[Ramsey Smith]: so

923
00:32:11,120 –> 00:32:15,440
[Paul Tyler]: temco in a way that they at least start to understand they all understood asset

924
00:32:15,520 –> 00:32:19,840
[Paul Tyler]: allocation now they’re starting to understand income rams you brought up a really

925
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:24,080
[Paul Tyler]: good question which is wow this would be really difficult to roll over you know

926
00:32:24,160 –> 00:32:25,600
[Paul Tyler]: we already have some some

927
00:32:26,640 –> 00:32:31,520
[Paul Tyler]: you know rules from the dol you know coming in to making it very difficult to do

928
00:32:31,580 –> 00:32:32,580
[Paul Tyler]: this properly but

929
00:32:34,560 –> 00:32:38,080
[Paul Tyler]: now you i’ve got a little bit of tension you know with some of the plan providers

930
00:32:38,800 –> 00:32:39,840
[Paul Tyler]: and where that money’s going

931
00:32:43,804 –> 00:32:44,804
[Tamiko Toland]: i mean i think that would

932
00:32:44,420 –> 00:32:45,420
[Paul Tyler]: we

933
00:32:44,824 –> 00:32:45,944
[Tamiko Toland]: be more true if we

934
00:32:45,700 –> 00:32:46,700
[Paul Tyler]: had

935
00:32:46,104 –> 00:32:49,784
[Tamiko Toland]: had current wider adoption of lifetime income within

936
00:32:49,540 –> 00:32:50,540
[Paul Tyler]: like

937
00:32:49,864 –> 00:32:52,184
[Tamiko Toland]: plants and it’s just that it’s it’s not significant

938
00:32:53,224 –> 00:32:55,784
[Tamiko Toland]: right we we need to see more of it and

939
00:32:56,364 –> 00:32:57,364
[Tamiko Toland]: it

940
00:32:58,284 –> 00:32:59,284
[Tamiko Toland]: the

941
00:32:58,660 –> 00:32:59,660
[Paul Tyler]: like

942
00:32:58,904 –> 00:33:01,624
[Tamiko Toland]: cycle of getting things adopted is very

943
00:33:01,380 –> 00:33:02,380
[Paul Tyler]: very different

944
00:33:01,784 –> 00:33:06,824
[Tamiko Toland]: different from simply selling somebody an annuity in the retail space right so i

945
00:33:07,544 –> 00:33:09,144
[Tamiko Toland]: i mean i don’t see that as being a

946
00:33:10,424 –> 00:33:15,864
[Tamiko Toland]: a present issue and we don’t know actually what will ultimately happen as far as

947
00:33:16,184 –> 00:33:21,784
[Tamiko Toland]: rollovers out of plans so i you know we can we can speculate we want about that

948
00:33:21,220 –> 00:33:22,220
[Paul Tyler]: about that

949
00:33:23,040 –> 00:33:24,480
[Paul Tyler]: i never said what

950
00:33:23,064 –> 00:33:26,904
[Tamiko Toland]: i mean i think that a lot of this conversation frankly and i’ve i’ve said this

951
00:33:27,064 –> 00:33:32,664
[Tamiko Toland]: whole time and with uh the lifetime income illustrations that are going to be

952
00:33:32,744 –> 00:33:35,064
[Tamiko Toland]: peering on people’s four o one k statements

953
00:33:35,484 –> 00:33:36,484
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s

954
00:33:35,580 –> 00:33:36,580
[Paul Tyler]: i know

955
00:33:35,878 –> 00:33:36,878
[Ramsey Smith]: that’s all

956
00:33:36,184 –> 00:33:39,304
[Tamiko Toland]: all of an opportunity for retail right

957
00:33:38,998 –> 00:33:39,998
[Ramsey Smith]: dr

958
00:33:39,624 –> 00:33:41,224
[Tamiko Toland]: because you know when you see

959
00:33:40,900 –> 00:33:41,900
[Paul Tyler]: see oh

960
00:33:40,924 –> 00:33:41,924
[Tamiko Toland]: oh

961
00:33:41,544 –> 00:33:44,504
[Tamiko Toland]: i my four o one k could turn into this

962
00:33:41,618 –> 00:33:43,298
[Ramsey Smith]: oh i like he’s good

963
00:33:44,598 –> 00:33:45,598
[Ramsey Smith]: your

964
00:33:44,724 –> 00:33:45,724
[Tamiko Toland]: guaranteed income

965
00:33:46,844 –> 00:33:47,844
[Tamiko Toland]: yet

966
00:33:47,060 –> 00:33:48,060
[Paul Tyler]: they

967
00:33:47,464 –> 00:33:50,824
[Tamiko Toland]: there’s literally no way to possibly do that within my existing plan

968
00:33:50,980 –> 00:33:51,980
[Paul Tyler]: break

969
00:33:51,324 –> 00:33:52,324
[Tamiko Toland]: right so when

970
00:33:53,544 –> 00:33:56,024
[Tamiko Toland]: when you you you run into this logistical challenge

971
00:33:56,664 –> 00:34:00,584
[Tamiko Toland]: but you start thinking about what to do with your retirement savings in a

972
00:33:56,720 –> 00:33:58,080
[Paul Tyler]: like think about

973
00:34:00,664 –> 00:34:03,064
[Tamiko Toland]: different way you know like i say i think that that is a

974
00:34:02,660 –> 00:34:03,660
[Paul Tyler]: g

975
00:34:03,144 –> 00:34:05,384
[Tamiko Toland]: great opportunity in the face of some potential

976
00:34:06,500 –> 00:34:07,500
[Paul Tyler]: right

977
00:34:06,984 –> 00:34:12,584
[Tamiko Toland]: compliance challenges right so there’s a lot of forces at play right now for sure

978
00:34:13,440 –> 00:34:14,560
[Paul Tyler]: now there are a

979
00:34:14,118 –> 00:34:15,118
[Ramsey Smith]: are

980
00:34:14,640 –> 00:34:18,720
[Paul Tyler]: large number of big plans like you described like raytheon with

981
00:34:20,140 –> 00:34:21,140
[Paul Tyler]: good hr

982
00:34:20,598 –> 00:34:21,598
[Ramsey Smith]: t

983
00:34:20,900 –> 00:34:21,900
[Paul Tyler]: benefits

984
00:34:22,880 –> 00:34:28,320
[Paul Tyler]: professionals tremendous support from from advisors for the plan but they are

985
00:34:28,480 –> 00:34:32,720
[Paul Tyler]: like a lot more small plants with fewer participants

986
00:34:32,684 –> 00:34:33,684
[Tamiko Toland]: just

987
00:34:34,000 –> 00:34:39,120
[Paul Tyler]: tim k do you think the equation or how sponsors are going to think about it will

988
00:34:39,280 –> 00:34:42,560
[Paul Tyler]: change when you start to go down and maybe you only have ten employees maybe have

989
00:34:42,720 –> 00:34:47,680
[Paul Tyler]: fifteen employees um do you think the adoption challenge will be any different or

990
00:34:47,920 –> 00:34:51,760
[Paul Tyler]: will it’ll be just effectively same set of considerations

991
00:34:53,484 –> 00:34:54,484
[Tamiko Toland]: well i think you know

992
00:34:56,344 –> 00:35:00,664
[Tamiko Toland]: really what’s going to happen is we’re going to see an increase in adoption right

993
00:35:00,844 –> 00:35:01,844
[Tamiko Toland]: it it

994
00:35:01,260 –> 00:35:02,260
[Paul Tyler]: eating

995
00:35:01,544 –> 00:35:05,384
[Tamiko Toland]: is going to happen for sure is it is happening right now but

996
00:35:04,980 –> 00:35:05,980
[Paul Tyler]: what

997
00:35:05,078 –> 00:35:06,078
[Ramsey Smith]: what

998
00:35:05,204 –> 00:35:06,204
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s um

999
00:35:06,100 –> 00:35:07,100
[Paul Tyler]: that

1000
00:35:06,504 –> 00:35:12,344
[Tamiko Toland]: as that picks up i think it will make um make it more of a competitive issue for

1001
00:35:12,044 –> 00:35:13,044
[Tamiko Toland]: than

1002
00:35:12,260 –> 00:35:13,260
[Paul Tyler]: that

1003
00:35:12,744 –> 00:35:17,624
[Tamiko Toland]: it shifts to making a competitive issue for employers right in addition to all

1004
00:35:12,744 –> 00:35:17,624
[Tamiko Toland]: it shifts to making a competitive issue for employers right in addition to all

1005
00:35:17,704 –> 00:35:21,544
[Tamiko Toland]: the other reasons that people should be or you know plant sponsor should be

1006
00:35:17,704 –> 00:35:21,544
[Tamiko Toland]: the other reasons that people should be or you know plant sponsor should be

1007
00:35:21,624 –> 00:35:25,704
[Tamiko Toland]: considering it and i think we’ll see more solutions that are particularly

1008
00:35:21,624 –> 00:35:25,704
[Tamiko Toland]: considering it and i think we’ll see more solutions that are particularly

1009
00:35:25,784 –> 00:35:31,144
[Tamiko Toland]: tailored for that market right so you know some of them are really designed more

1010
00:35:25,784 –> 00:35:31,144
[Tamiko Toland]: tailored for that market right so you know some of them are really designed more

1011
00:35:31,304 –> 00:35:33,864
[Tamiko Toland]: for the larger plants for i think obvious reasons

1012
00:35:31,304 –> 00:35:33,864
[Tamiko Toland]: for the larger plants for i think obvious reasons

1013
00:35:35,064 –> 00:35:38,264
[Tamiko Toland]: and we’ve seen availability for smaller plans but then adoptions low because

1014
00:35:38,364 –> 00:35:39,364
[Tamiko Toland]: they’re not necessarily they

1015
00:35:39,398 –> 00:35:40,398
[Ramsey Smith]: what

1016
00:35:39,864 –> 00:35:44,664
[Tamiko Toland]: may include it in the plan but it’s not the qa and so like that’s

1017
00:35:44,824 –> 00:35:47,864
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s like the big shift i think for everyone and and we

1018
00:35:44,898 –> 00:35:46,418
[Ramsey Smith]: like that that’s like the

1019
00:35:44,940 –> 00:35:45,940
[Paul Tyler]: not se

1020
00:35:47,944 –> 00:35:50,744
[Tamiko Toland]: whether that’s an appropriate choice for a small sponsor that’s

1021
00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:49,280
[Paul Tyler]: it was a hurry

1022
00:35:50,980 –> 00:35:51,980
[Paul Tyler]: that’s

1023
00:35:51,144 –> 00:35:52,264
[Tamiko Toland]: a different question i i’m

1024
00:35:52,620 –> 00:35:53,620
[Paul Tyler]: yeah i’m not think it is

1025
00:35:52,664 –> 00:35:54,184
[Tamiko Toland]: not saying it is or isn’t um

1026
00:35:54,904 –> 00:35:58,504
[Tamiko Toland]: but i think that that’s a thing to think about when you have very few employees

1027
00:35:54,904 –> 00:35:58,504
[Tamiko Toland]: but i think that that’s a thing to think about when you have very few employees

1028
00:35:54,960 –> 00:35:57,360
[Paul Tyler]: oh but i think i think about

1029
00:36:00,024 –> 00:36:01,064
[Tamiko Toland]: you’re gonna be thinking about their

1030
00:36:00,900 –> 00:36:01,900
[Paul Tyler]: saturday

1031
00:36:01,224 –> 00:36:03,384
[Tamiko Toland]: needs really differently and much more

1032
00:36:05,144 –> 00:36:10,344
[Tamiko Toland]: for those individuals and you know then let’s think about peps and and what have

1033
00:36:10,044 –> 00:36:11,044
[Tamiko Toland]: you

1034
00:36:10,740 –> 00:36:11,740
[Paul Tyler]: like

1035
00:36:10,804 –> 00:36:11,804
[Tamiko Toland]: but um

1036
00:36:12,404 –> 00:36:13,404
[Tamiko Toland]: you know it

1037
00:36:12,844 –> 00:36:13,844
[Tamiko Toland]: like

1038
00:36:13,060 –> 00:36:14,060
[Paul Tyler]: like

1039
00:36:13,138 –> 00:36:15,058
[Ramsey Smith]: you know it’s like a different type of story

1040
00:36:13,464 –> 00:36:15,864
[Tamiko Toland]: i say it’s a different set of considerations in the space

1041
00:36:15,460 –> 00:36:16,460
[Paul Tyler]: see

1042
00:36:16,404 –> 00:36:17,404
[Tamiko Toland]: and that

1043
00:36:16,980 –> 00:36:17,980
[Paul Tyler]: that one

1044
00:36:17,138 –> 00:36:18,578
[Ramsey Smith]: and c sp

1045
00:36:17,224 –> 00:36:22,184
[Tamiko Toland]: learning curve which is one of the reasons that you know we really uh wanted to

1046
00:36:21,844 –> 00:36:22,844
[Tamiko Toland]: see the

1047
00:36:22,220 –> 00:36:23,220
[Paul Tyler]: you like

1048
00:36:22,504 –> 00:36:24,024
[Tamiko Toland]: lifetime income consortium come

1049
00:36:23,700 –> 00:36:24,700
[Paul Tyler]: yeah

1050
00:36:24,184 –> 00:36:28,344
[Tamiko Toland]: together because we can get the education out there you know it’s a large group

1051
00:36:28,584 –> 00:36:30,344
[Tamiko Toland]: of very very different solution

1052
00:36:30,744 –> 00:36:32,024
[Tamiko Toland]: providers that are

1053
00:36:31,040 –> 00:36:32,240
[Paul Tyler]: was saturd

1054
00:36:31,638 –> 00:36:32,638
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

1055
00:36:32,264 –> 00:36:38,744
[Tamiko Toland]: you know really deciding that it’s more important for them to work in concert

1056
00:36:38,678 –> 00:36:39,678
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

1057
00:36:39,544 –> 00:36:41,544
[Tamiko Toland]: to get the message out to improve education

1058
00:36:39,544 –> 00:36:41,544
[Tamiko Toland]: to get the message out to improve education

1059
00:36:42,744 –> 00:36:45,704
[Tamiko Toland]: and to reduce some of the the compliance hurdles

1060
00:36:47,118 –> 00:36:48,118
[Ramsey Smith]: so how

1061
00:36:47,780 –> 00:36:48,780
[Paul Tyler]: how do you think about it

1062
00:36:47,858 –> 00:36:52,658
[Ramsey Smith]: do you think about you know the mandate of of this new organization versus there

1063
00:36:52,738 –> 00:36:56,018
[Ramsey Smith]: are some other educational organizations in the space right

1064
00:36:55,964 –> 00:36:56,964
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah

1065
00:36:56,738 –> 00:37:00,338
[Ramsey Smith]: there’s the alliance for lifelong income there’s limma the all friends of the

1066
00:37:00,198 –> 00:37:01,198
[Ramsey Smith]: show by the way

1067
00:37:01,644 –> 00:37:02,644
[Tamiko Toland]: yeah

1068
00:37:03,298 –> 00:37:05,698
[Ramsey Smith]: uh curious how like you view

1069
00:37:06,738 –> 00:37:10,498
[Ramsey Smith]: the mandate of this consortium as being

1070
00:37:10,204 –> 00:37:11,204
[Tamiko Toland]: so

1071
00:37:10,658 –> 00:37:14,898
[Ramsey Smith]: different or what’s the sort of unique element that you guys are focusing on

1072
00:37:16,338 –> 00:37:19,938
[Ramsey Smith]: is it the complete focus on this one particular space is there anything else

1073
00:37:20,098 –> 00:37:21,138
[Ramsey Smith]: about it stylistically

1074
00:37:22,738 –> 00:37:25,378
[Ramsey Smith]: that’s part of your mo that you can share with us

1075
00:37:26,204 –> 00:37:27,204
[Tamiko Toland]: sure

1076
00:37:26,780 –> 00:37:27,780
[Paul Tyler]: sure i mean i think

1077
00:37:26,904 –> 00:37:28,504
[Tamiko Toland]: i you know i think you

1078
00:37:28,984 –> 00:37:31,544
[Tamiko Toland]: we’re also very friendly with the other

1079
00:37:29,040 –> 00:37:31,920
[Paul Tyler]: we’re also great friends the other one

1080
00:37:31,878 –> 00:37:32,878
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

1081
00:37:31,884 –> 00:37:32,884
[Tamiko Toland]: organizations out there

1082
00:37:33,964 –> 00:37:34,964
[Tamiko Toland]: and

1083
00:37:34,598 –> 00:37:35,598
[Ramsey Smith]: and yeah

1084
00:37:34,604 –> 00:37:35,604
[Tamiko Toland]: yes

1085
00:37:35,140 –> 00:37:36,140
[Paul Tyler]: get married

1086
00:37:35,384 –> 00:37:37,944
[Tamiko Toland]: education is a component of what we’re doing

1087
00:37:39,064 –> 00:37:42,664
[Tamiko Toland]: but we’re not an educational organization we’re we’re actually our

1088
00:37:42,460 –> 00:37:43,460
[Paul Tyler]: mm hm

1089
00:37:42,804 –> 00:37:43,804
[Tamiko Toland]: goal is commercial

1090
00:37:44,078 –> 00:37:45,078
[Ramsey Smith]: there we go

1091
00:37:44,504 –> 00:37:47,064
[Tamiko Toland]: and commercially we want to see

1092
00:37:48,104 –> 00:37:50,504
[Tamiko Toland]: broader adoption of these solutions and

1093
00:37:50,420 –> 00:37:51,420
[Paul Tyler]: so it

1094
00:37:50,664 –> 00:37:51,784
[Tamiko Toland]: so it’s a commercial

1095
00:37:52,824 –> 00:37:54,904
[Tamiko Toland]: look at the problem not simply throwing out

1096
00:37:54,678 –> 00:37:55,678
[Ramsey Smith]: got

1097
00:37:55,064 –> 00:37:58,184
[Tamiko Toland]: education but education saying okay well what are the challenges how

1098
00:37:58,140 –> 00:37:59,140
[Paul Tyler]: how c

1099
00:37:58,264 –> 00:37:59,704
[Tamiko Toland]: can we help close those gaps

1100
00:37:59,844 –> 00:38:00,844
[Tamiko Toland]: and then

1101
00:38:00,320 –> 00:38:02,000
[Paul Tyler]: and then where are their an

1102
00:38:00,398 –> 00:38:01,398
[Ramsey Smith]: and we

1103
00:38:00,584 –> 00:38:05,224
[Tamiko Toland]: you know where are their actual like logistical adoption issues like say with the

1104
00:38:05,304 –> 00:38:08,744
[Tamiko Toland]: record keepers right ’cause the record keepers are the ones that

1105
00:38:08,340 –> 00:38:09,340
[Paul Tyler]: that

1106
00:38:08,978 –> 00:38:10,098
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah like you

1107
00:38:09,224 –> 00:38:11,064
[Tamiko Toland]: frankly are holding the keys on this

1108
00:38:11,380 –> 00:38:12,380
[Paul Tyler]: oh

1109
00:38:11,784 –> 00:38:13,304
[Tamiko Toland]: ultimately right

1110
00:38:13,220 –> 00:38:14,220
[Paul Tyler]: and

1111
00:38:13,624 –> 00:38:14,744
[Tamiko Toland]: and you know they

1112
00:38:14,804 –> 00:38:15,804
[Tamiko Toland]: are they are

1113
00:38:14,880 –> 00:38:16,080
[Paul Tyler]: they they are not

1114
00:38:15,478 –> 00:38:16,478
[Ramsey Smith]: they are

1115
00:38:15,864 –> 00:38:17,704
[Tamiko Toland]: not jumping into the pool

1116
00:38:18,924 –> 00:38:19,924
[Tamiko Toland]: right

1117
00:38:19,318 –> 00:38:20,318
[Ramsey Smith]: spray

1118
00:38:19,784 –> 00:38:20,904
[Tamiko Toland]: and so you know

1119
00:38:20,660 –> 00:38:21,660
[Paul Tyler]: got

1120
00:38:20,724 –> 00:38:21,724
[Tamiko Toland]: that is

1121
00:38:23,224 –> 00:38:27,304
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s a concern that we’re all listening to and we just want to make sure that all

1122
00:38:27,384 –> 00:38:28,504
[Tamiko Toland]: the dots are lining up

1123
00:38:29,544 –> 00:38:32,104
[Tamiko Toland]: to make this a reality and we want to hear from

1124
00:38:33,304 –> 00:38:35,464
[Tamiko Toland]: from the folks that are are really in the front

1125
00:38:35,140 –> 00:38:36,140
[Paul Tyler]: why

1126
00:38:35,544 –> 00:38:36,824
[Tamiko Toland]: lines and

1127
00:38:36,740 –> 00:38:37,740
[Paul Tyler]: you

1128
00:38:36,984 –> 00:38:40,664
[Tamiko Toland]: hearing the objections dealing with those challenges to help

1129
00:38:40,260 –> 00:38:41,260
[Paul Tyler]: help

1130
00:38:40,904 –> 00:38:42,344
[Tamiko Toland]: solve those challenges so

1131
00:38:42,980 –> 00:38:43,980
[Paul Tyler]: where you

1132
00:38:43,064 –> 00:38:46,504
[Tamiko Toland]: we’re just in year one right of the consortium so we’re just

1133
00:38:46,744 –> 00:38:50,744
[Tamiko Toland]: establishing really the basics and then that work will continue and one of the

1134
00:38:46,838 –> 00:38:47,838
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah

1135
00:38:50,564 –> 00:38:51,564
[Tamiko Toland]: issues too is

1136
00:38:51,078 –> 00:38:52,078
[Ramsey Smith]: two

1137
00:38:51,544 –> 00:38:56,504
[Tamiko Toland]: like how do you compare these different solutions and how do you make a selection

1138
00:38:56,584 –> 00:39:00,424
[Tamiko Toland]: and that’s something that that we’re working on from an analytical perspective

1139
00:39:01,064 –> 00:39:05,944
[Tamiko Toland]: right that saying well what kind of quantitative support is there the conclusion

1140
00:39:05,564 –> 00:39:06,564
[Tamiko Toland]: is

1141
00:39:05,804 –> 00:39:06,804
[Tamiko Toland]: never

1142
00:39:05,860 –> 00:39:06,860
[Paul Tyler]: never

1143
00:39:06,278 –> 00:39:07,278
[Ramsey Smith]: never did

1144
00:39:06,664 –> 00:39:07,784
[Tamiko Toland]: there’s one best

1145
00:39:08,684 –> 00:39:09,684
[Tamiko Toland]: solution

1146
00:39:09,964 –> 00:39:10,964
[Tamiko Toland]: right there

1147
00:39:10,738 –> 00:39:12,498
[Ramsey Smith]: like they need to work different

1148
00:39:10,984 –> 00:39:12,824
[Tamiko Toland]: solutions are to work differently in different

1149
00:39:12,660 –> 00:39:13,660
[Paul Tyler]: we

1150
00:39:12,804 –> 00:39:13,804
[Tamiko Toland]: ways and

1151
00:39:13,598 –> 00:39:14,598
[Ramsey Smith]: and was very

1152
00:39:13,784 –> 00:39:17,704
[Tamiko Toland]: what’s very important is for people to have some quantitative basis to say well

1153
00:39:17,398 –> 00:39:18,398
[Ramsey Smith]: people

1154
00:39:17,884 –> 00:39:18,884
[Tamiko Toland]: this is better in this

1155
00:39:18,838 –> 00:39:19,838
[Ramsey Smith]: the car

1156
00:39:18,904 –> 00:39:20,664
[Tamiko Toland]: regard and then but this

1157
00:39:20,744 –> 00:39:24,504
[Tamiko Toland]: one’s better in this regard what works best for for our

1158
00:39:20,798 –> 00:39:21,798
[Ramsey Smith]: is instead of

1159
00:39:24,100 –> 00:39:25,100
[Paul Tyler]: r

1160
00:39:24,924 –> 00:39:25,924
[Tamiko Toland]: you know

1161
00:39:25,380 –> 00:39:26,380
[Paul Tyler]: what

1162
00:39:25,704 –> 00:39:27,224
[Tamiko Toland]: worker population and

1163
00:39:27,300 –> 00:39:28,300
[Paul Tyler]: that

1164
00:39:27,544 –> 00:39:30,504
[Tamiko Toland]: that’s the kind of decision making that we really want to support a can

1165
00:39:31,280 –> 00:39:35,760
[Paul Tyler]: okay so here here’s literally a million dollar question just set it up i was at

1171
00:39:54,400 –> 00:39:55,920
[Paul Tyler]: crossing a lot of wires here

1172
00:39:55,478 –> 00:39:56,478
[Ramsey Smith]: what

1173
00:39:56,080 –> 00:40:02,320
[Paul Tyler]: but temco we took out some very prominent vcs for dinner night before and the

1174
00:40:02,400 –> 00:40:06,080
[Paul Tyler]: question i got was yeah i’m reading about this and hearing about this paul but

1175
00:40:06,240 –> 00:40:08,400
[Paul Tyler]: like when you know is this a

1176
00:40:09,260 –> 00:40:10,260
[Paul Tyler]: when is this

1177
00:40:09,638 –> 00:40:10,638
[Ramsey Smith]: what

1178
00:40:10,060 –> 00:40:11,060
[Paul Tyler]: going to be a meaningful market

1179
00:40:10,838 –> 00:40:11,838
[Ramsey Smith]: work

1180
00:40:11,280 –> 00:40:16,000
[Paul Tyler]: is it three years five years ten years from now to invest i mean what’s

1181
00:40:15,558 –> 00:40:16,558
[Ramsey Smith]: what

1182
00:40:16,000 –> 00:40:17,360
[Paul Tyler]: your what’s your

1183
00:40:17,278 –> 00:40:18,278
[Ramsey Smith]: your respect

1184
00:40:17,440 –> 00:40:19,200
[Paul Tyler]: perspective like when will

1185
00:40:20,400 –> 00:40:24,640
[Paul Tyler]: this be a material a business that you know people are going to fund a lot of the

1186
00:40:24,720 –> 00:40:27,280
[Paul Tyler]: businesses that are making big bets in the space

1187
00:40:30,044 –> 00:40:31,044
[Tamiko Toland]: so

1188
00:40:31,944 –> 00:40:33,784
[Tamiko Toland]: it it’s a it’s a slow play

1189
00:40:33,478 –> 00:40:34,478
[Ramsey Smith]: one

1190
00:40:33,644 –> 00:40:34,644
[Tamiko Toland]: still

1191
00:40:34,904 –> 00:40:38,744
[Tamiko Toland]: honestly like it’s not like all of a sudden everybody’s gonna start throwing this

1192
00:40:35,218 –> 00:40:36,978
[Ramsey Smith]: ho not like all the

1193
00:40:38,824 –> 00:40:42,584
[Tamiko Toland]: on their plans and my feeling is a and i

1194
00:40:42,404 –> 00:40:43,404
[Tamiko Toland]: think this gets

1195
00:40:42,540 –> 00:40:43,540
[Paul Tyler]: i think it’s

1196
00:40:42,918 –> 00:40:43,918
[Ramsey Smith]: get

1197
00:40:43,224 –> 00:40:45,224
[Tamiko Toland]: missed a little bit with like the

1198
00:40:44,918 –> 00:40:45,918
[Ramsey Smith]: like that

1199
00:40:45,464 –> 00:40:48,184
[Tamiko Toland]: ramsay’s press release survey right a lot

1200
00:40:47,780 –> 00:40:48,780
[Paul Tyler]: what

1201
00:40:48,264 –> 00:40:51,784
[Tamiko Toland]: of the companies that are really engaged now have been engaged for a very long

1202
00:40:51,484 –> 00:40:52,484
[Tamiko Toland]: time

1203
00:40:53,304 –> 00:40:54,344
[Tamiko Toland]: right and

1204
00:40:54,498 –> 00:40:56,258
[Ramsey Smith]: and they feel that

1205
00:40:55,224 –> 00:40:57,064
[Tamiko Toland]: they feel like this is an important opportunity

1206
00:40:58,284 –> 00:40:59,284
[Tamiko Toland]: right

1207
00:40:58,998 –> 00:40:59,998
[Ramsey Smith]: um

1208
00:40:59,644 –> 00:41:00,644
[Tamiko Toland]: but

1209
00:40:59,700 –> 00:41:00,700
[Paul Tyler]: like

1210
00:40:59,878 –> 00:41:00,878
[Ramsey Smith]: what

1211
00:41:01,224 –> 00:41:02,584
[Tamiko Toland]: uh you know when

1212
00:41:02,278 –> 00:41:03,278
[Ramsey Smith]: it would

1213
00:41:02,664 –> 00:41:03,944
[Tamiko Toland]: you’ve been doing it for a

1214
00:41:03,860 –> 00:41:04,860
[Paul Tyler]: decade

1215
00:41:04,024 –> 00:41:05,944
[Tamiko Toland]: decade or perhaps longer

1216
00:41:06,740 –> 00:41:07,740
[Paul Tyler]: and not quite she

1217
00:41:06,744 –> 00:41:11,704
[Tamiko Toland]: and not quite nailed it i mean there’s a lot of conviction around the space and

1218
00:41:12,024 –> 00:41:14,184
[Tamiko Toland]: being present and planting the flag

1219
00:41:15,224 –> 00:41:16,344
[Tamiko Toland]: where you know i don’t

1220
00:41:16,038 –> 00:41:17,038
[Ramsey Smith]: don’t

1221
00:41:16,424 –> 00:41:20,024
[Tamiko Toland]: think the expectation is oh yeah we’re gonna be getting our money back in the

1222
00:41:20,104 –> 00:41:21,544
[Tamiko Toland]: next year or two right

1223
00:41:21,140 –> 00:41:22,140
[Paul Tyler]: great

1224
00:41:22,504 –> 00:41:23,544
[Tamiko Toland]: um so

1225
00:41:24,444 –> 00:41:25,444
[Tamiko Toland]: it it’s

1226
00:41:26,244 –> 00:41:27,244
[Tamiko Toland]: i think

1227
00:41:26,420 –> 00:41:27,420
[Paul Tyler]: i think it

1228
00:41:26,558 –> 00:41:27,558
[Ramsey Smith]: i think

1229
00:41:26,984 –> 00:41:29,304
[Tamiko Toland]: at at a high level firms

1230
00:41:29,620 –> 00:41:30,620
[Paul Tyler]: like

1231
00:41:29,784 –> 00:41:31,784
[Tamiko Toland]: decide this is where we want to be

1232
00:41:29,784 –> 00:41:31,784
[Tamiko Toland]: decide this is where we want to be

1233
00:41:32,524 –> 00:41:33,524
[Tamiko Toland]: right

1234
00:41:32,758 –> 00:41:33,758
[Ramsey Smith]: right

1235
00:41:32,820 –> 00:41:33,820
[Paul Tyler]: right yeah

1236
00:41:33,544 –> 00:41:34,744
[Tamiko Toland]: and if you

1237
00:41:33,544 –> 00:41:34,744
[Tamiko Toland]: and if you

1238
00:41:35,884 –> 00:41:36,884
[Tamiko Toland]: if you need to

1239
00:41:37,864 –> 00:41:39,944
[Tamiko Toland]: like replenish the coffers quickly i

1240
00:41:40,020 –> 00:41:41,020
[Paul Tyler]: i think it still

1241
00:41:40,024 –> 00:41:43,944
[Tamiko Toland]: think it’s it’s still going to be tough because it’s still very very difficult to

1242
00:41:44,204 –> 00:41:45,204
[Tamiko Toland]: predict

1243
00:41:44,978 –> 00:41:48,658
[Ramsey Smith]: predict health it is not a really fast

1244
00:41:44,984 –> 00:41:49,624
[Tamiko Toland]: and history tells us that this is not a really fast moving space right

1245
00:41:49,478 –> 00:41:50,478
[Ramsey Smith]: right

1246
00:41:49,760 –> 00:41:51,440
[Paul Tyler]: crazy i think

1247
00:41:50,204 –> 00:41:51,204
[Tamiko Toland]: um but i i mean i

1248
00:41:50,998 –> 00:41:51,998
[Ramsey Smith]: i mean i think that

1249
00:41:51,144 –> 00:41:53,064
[Tamiko Toland]: think the opportunity is obviously still there

1250
00:41:52,838 –> 00:41:53,838
[Ramsey Smith]: there

1251
00:41:53,464 –> 00:41:55,464
[Tamiko Toland]: and we’re getting so close like it really

1252
00:41:55,538 –> 00:41:58,738
[Ramsey Smith]: you do like really a once but i’m talking

1253
00:41:55,624 –> 00:41:59,304
[Tamiko Toland]: it feels like we’re really on the cusp but on the cusp of something that’s still

1254
00:41:59,318 –> 00:42:00,318
[Ramsey Smith]: really

1255
00:41:59,464 –> 00:42:02,104
[Tamiko Toland]: relatively slow moving right and

1256
00:42:01,540 –> 00:42:02,540
[Paul Tyler]: right and

1257
00:42:03,144 –> 00:42:06,504
[Tamiko Toland]: you know especially large punches want to see what the other ones are doing like

1258
00:42:06,204 –> 00:42:07,204
[Tamiko Toland]: what

1259
00:42:06,420 –> 00:42:07,420
[Paul Tyler]: what

1260
00:42:06,904 –> 00:42:08,664
[Tamiko Toland]: oh what choices are you making you know how

1261
00:42:08,364 –> 00:42:09,364
[Tamiko Toland]: are you

1262
00:42:08,500 –> 00:42:09,500
[Paul Tyler]: i mean

1263
00:42:08,798 –> 00:42:09,798
[Ramsey Smith]: how are you

1264
00:42:09,064 –> 00:42:13,864
[Tamiko Toland]: implementing this how did that go right and i think that that experience feeds

1265
00:42:14,024 –> 00:42:15,944
[Tamiko Toland]: into the willingness of others to jump

1266
00:42:15,638 –> 00:42:16,638
[Ramsey Smith]: ju

1267
00:42:15,924 –> 00:42:16,924
[Tamiko Toland]: into it because it’s not

1268
00:42:16,420 –> 00:42:17,420
[Paul Tyler]: not

1269
00:42:16,824 –> 00:42:17,864
[Tamiko Toland]: simply about saying oh great

1270
00:42:17,678 –> 00:42:18,678
[Ramsey Smith]: hungry

1271
00:42:18,024 –> 00:42:19,064
[Tamiko Toland]: you know we’re gonna pick this thing

1272
00:42:21,860 –> 00:42:22,860
[Paul Tyler]: ramsey

1273
00:42:22,438 –> 00:42:23,438
[Ramsey Smith]: all right

1274
00:42:22,800 –> 00:42:27,360
[Paul Tyler]: we’re we’re we’re kind of the top of top of the the hour here i don’t know final

1275
00:42:27,760 –> 00:42:28,800
[Paul Tyler]: thoughts questions here

1276
00:42:28,978 –> 00:42:35,618
[Ramsey Smith]: yeah so much so much to chew on there um i was you know i was really struck by

1277
00:42:35,858 –> 00:42:41,778
[Ramsey Smith]: your comment about sort of the culture here the culture of the target audience

1278
00:42:41,858 –> 00:42:45,058
[Ramsey Smith]: and if you think about the there’s two target audiences right the first one is

1279
00:42:45,618 –> 00:42:47,858
[Ramsey Smith]: the plan sponsors the folks that are holding the

1280
00:42:49,218 –> 00:42:53,938
[Ramsey Smith]: that have the assets then the ultimate target obviously is the end conser but

1281
00:42:55,938 –> 00:43:00,178
[Ramsey Smith]: you pointed out quite rightly so that you have all the people that are in

1282
00:43:00,338 –> 00:43:01,378
[Ramsey Smith]: decision making position

1283
00:43:02,978 –> 00:43:08,178
[Ramsey Smith]: don’t necessarily have a culture of of talking about income at maybe the the

1284
00:43:08,258 –> 00:43:12,098
[Ramsey Smith]: depth that it needs to be for them to be comfortable to move forward with things

1285
00:43:12,178 –> 00:43:17,378
[Ramsey Smith]: like this so it’ll be it’s just an interesting uh conundrum to figure out how to

1286
00:43:17,538 –> 00:43:21,618
[Ramsey Smith]: how to how to get past that point is it the same people be getting educated is it

1287
00:43:21,698 –> 00:43:23,778
[Ramsey Smith]: new people in those roles i don’t know

1288
00:43:24,818 –> 00:43:28,418
[Ramsey Smith]: but that that is of the many of the many interesting things you said that’s the

1289
00:43:28,418 –> 00:43:31,778
[Ramsey Smith]: one that sticks with me because i feel like that’s that’s often the hardest thing

1290
00:43:31,598 –> 00:43:32,598
[Ramsey Smith]: to overcome

1291
00:43:34,844 –> 00:43:35,844
[Tamiko Toland]: but it’s

1292
00:43:35,420 –> 00:43:36,420
[Paul Tyler]: i need know

1293
00:43:35,704 –> 00:43:39,304
[Tamiko Toland]: it’s an opportunity as well for the intermediaries

1294
00:43:39,398 –> 00:43:40,398
[Ramsey Smith]: sure

1295
00:43:40,344 –> 00:43:45,704
[Tamiko Toland]: and let’s not let that point get lost right um ’cause when you talk to folks

1296
00:43:45,784 –> 00:43:47,464
[Tamiko Toland]: about like target date funds

1297
00:43:48,504 –> 00:43:50,264
[Tamiko Toland]: and you know people who missed the

1298
00:43:49,940 –> 00:43:50,940
[Paul Tyler]: w

1299
00:43:50,264 –> 00:43:52,104
[Tamiko Toland]: bus really missed the bus on that

1300
00:43:52,764 –> 00:43:53,764
[Tamiko Toland]: so

1301
00:43:53,220 –> 00:43:54,220
[Paul Tyler]: do i think that

1302
00:43:53,384 –> 00:43:57,144
[Tamiko Toland]: i think that the same the same goes for in common and

1303
00:43:58,904 –> 00:44:00,504
[Tamiko Toland]: even if you have not been

1304
00:44:00,100 –> 00:44:01,100
[Paul Tyler]: sh

1305
00:44:00,484 –> 00:44:01,484
[Tamiko Toland]: a passionate

1306
00:44:01,300 –> 00:44:02,300
[Paul Tyler]: about

1307
00:44:01,384 –> 00:44:05,064
[Tamiko Toland]: advocate of of income solutions right

1308
00:44:05,280 –> 00:44:08,640
[Paul Tyler]: right i think the i know i have heard about

1309
00:44:05,784 –> 00:44:08,104
[Tamiko Toland]: i think now is a really good time to learn

1310
00:44:08,118 –> 00:44:09,118
[Ramsey Smith]: learn about

1311
00:44:08,344 –> 00:44:09,944
[Tamiko Toland]: about them and w how does

1312
00:44:09,678 –> 00:44:10,678
[Ramsey Smith]: not good

1313
00:44:09,964 –> 00:44:10,964
[Tamiko Toland]: this really apply

1314
00:44:11,564 –> 00:44:12,564
[Tamiko Toland]: to

1315
00:44:12,924 –> 00:44:13,924
