HANYS Benefit Services (HBS), has challenged ourselves to take an introspective look at not only what we do, but why we do it. Many retirement advisory firms offer similar services, so we developed a new video to demonstrate how our approach to advisory services distinguishes us from other retirement advisory firms. Deeply ingrained in our corporate culture is the belief that putting the interests of our clients first and foremost is paramount. Staying true to our lineage, we are able to carry that philosophy through to our clients with our advocacy approach to retirement and benefits advisory services. “Our advocacy approach allows us to build real relationships with our clients, creating a shared fiduciary responsibility between HBS and the member organizations we advise,” said James J. Kelley, HBS President. If you have any questions about the video , or would like to speak with an advisor, please get in touch by calling (800) 388-1963 or via e-mail at  hbs@hanys.org.
