Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Methods of Analysis Helium Advisors’ methods of analysis include charting analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cyclical analysis, quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory. Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. Helium Advisors uses this technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Fundamental analysis involves theanalysis of financial statements, the generalfinancial health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume. Cyclical analysis involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on. Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset. Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 Investment Strategies Helium Advisors uses long term trading and short-term trading to implement its investment strategies for the SMAs managed accounts Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. Material Risks Involved Methods of Analysis Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predictlong and short-term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data. Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not be the case. Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets donot always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns that emerge over time. Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two-fold: 1) the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit. Quantitative Model Risk: Investment strategies using quantitative models may perform differently than expected as a result of, among other things, the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and Modern Portfolio Theory technical issues in the construction and implementation of the models. assumes that investors are risk adverse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade- off differently based on individual risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e., if for that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns. Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 Risk as a Result of Natural and Human Disruptions A client’s investment could be adversely affected in the event of a natural disaster, severe weather events, climate change, earthquakes, fires, war, terrorism, health pandemics and other public health crises. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in many countries has adversely impacted global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. Any such economic impact could adversely affect the performance of a client’s investments and, as a result, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to overall performance and financial results. In addition, the resulting financial and economic market uncertainty may adversely affect the valuations of investments recommended to clients as well as those investments made by the firm on behalf of its clients. Financial Institution Risk; Distress Events National and regional banks, financial institutions and other participants in the U.S. and global capital markets are closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, technology, and other relationships. A significant adverse development (such as a bank run, insolvency, bankruptcy, or default) with one or more national or regional banks, financial institutions, or other participants in the financial or capital markets may spread to others and lead to significant concentrated or market-wide problems (such as defaults, liquidity problems, impairment charges, additional bank runs, and losses, among other possible effects) for other participants in these markets. Future developments, including actions taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and/or Federal Reserve Board, and systemic risk in the U.S. and global banking sectors and broader economies in general, are difficult to assess and quantify, and the form and magnitude of such developments or other actions of any of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and/or Federal Reserve Board, as well as other financial industry agencies and policy-making and regulatory bodies, may remain unknown for significant periods of time and could adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Investment Strategies Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to various types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. Short term trading risks include liquidity, economic stability, and inflation, in addition to the long-term trading risks listed above. Frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 to bear. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock Equity “equity” nature. investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general economic environments. Fixed income investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. This type of investment can include corporate and government debt securities, leveraged loans, high yield, and investment grade debt and structured products, such as mortgage and other asset-backed securities, although individual bonds may be the best-known type of fixed income security. In general, the fixed income market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risk of non-U.S. investing described below. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Real Estate funds (including REITs) face several kinds of risk that are inherent in the real estate sector, which historically has experienced significant fluctuations and cycles in performance. Revenues and cash flows may be adversely affected by: changes in local real estate market conditions due to changes in national or local economic conditions or changes in local property market characteristics; competition from other properties offering the same or similar services; changes in interest rates and in the state of the debt and equity credit markets; the ongoing need for capital improvements; changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses; adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; adverse changes in zoning laws; the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws. Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 Annuities are a retirement product for those who may have the ability to pay a premium now and want to guarantee they receive certain monthly payments or a return on investment later in the future. Annuities are contracts issued by a life insurance company designed to meet requirement or other long-term goals. An annuity is not a life insurance policy. Variable annuities are designed to be long-term investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals. Variable annuities are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve investment risks, just as mutual funds do. Non-U.S. securities present certain risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic change, social unrest, changes in government regulation, differences in accounting and the lesser degree of accurate public information available. Illiquid Securities. Certain securities may be illiquid because, for example, they are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer or there is no liquid market for such securities. Valuation of such securities may be difficult or uncertain because there may be limited information available about the issuers of such securities. The market prices, if any, for such securities tend to be volatile and may not be readily ascertainable and the Funds may not be able to sell them when they desire to do so or to realize what they perceive to be their fair value in the event of a sale. The sale of restricted and illiquid securities often requires more time and may result in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. The Funds may not be able to readily dispose of such illiquid investments and, in some cases, may be contractually prohibited from disposing of such investments for a specified period. As a result, the Funds may be required to hold such securities despite adverse price movements. Even those markets that Helium Advisors reasonably expects to be liquid can experience periods (possibly extended periods) of illiquidity. Market conditions have arisen multiple times in the past where previously liquid investments have rapidly become illiquid. Options. Helium Advisors may trade in put and call options, which are highly specialized activities and entail greater. Trading put and call options can result in large amounts of leverage because option premiums paid or received by an investor are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options. As a result, the leverage offered by trading in options could cause an investor’s asset value to be subject to more frequent and wider fluctuations than would be the case if the investor did not invest in options. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 Helium Opportunity Fund I, LLC Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss Method of Analysis A thorough financial, operational and legal assessment of potential investments will be conducted to identify and mitigate risks before acquisition. The Fund will focus on the market opportunity, competitive advantage, the management team when conducting due diligence. We intend to focus on operating assets with established clients and cash flows and cash flow producing potential which includes commercial, sale lease back, self-storage, mixed-use, office, retail and/or single family. We seek assets that posse uncommon attributes (physical, location, asset type) that may provide a competitive advantage. We expect to target investments in distressed properties, including but not limited to off-market, pulled from market, and price reduced properties. The Fund will Implement continuous monitoring and reporting systems to track portfolio performance, to help ensure early detection and management of emerging risks. Investment Strategies The Fund’s investment focus is to invests in small to middle-market opportunities in North America that we believe are well positioned, well managed, and possess competitive advantages. Sectors of interest are technology, healthcare, consumer goods and manufacturing. . The Fund will diversify across sectors and geographies, along with hedging techniques, to minimize exposure to market volatility and sector-specific risks. Clear and flexible exit strategies will be determined for each investment to ensure optimal returns and risk mitigation, adapting to market conditions and investment performance. Risk of Loss Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Market Risk. An investment in the Fund is generally subject to market risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. Like all financial instruments, the value of these securities may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of your investment in the Fund at any point in time may be worth less than the value of your original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Real Estate Securities Risks. The Fund may invest in Investment Funds that hold real estate as well as invest in real estate directly through entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Fund, including one or more entities through joint ventures or limited partnerships. As a result, its portfolio may be significantly impacted by the performance of Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. The value of companies engaged in the real estate industry is affected by: (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage. Commodities Risk. · Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The prices of energy, industrial metals, precious metals, agriculture and livestock sector commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand and governmental regulatory policies. The commodity-linked investments in which the Fund or the Investment Funds enter into may involve counterparties in the financial services sector, and events affecting the financial services sector may cause the Fund’s, share value to fluctuate. Master Limited Partnerships and Energy Sector Risks. · The Fund may invest in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) directly, and may invest indirectly in MLPs by investing in Investment Funds that invest in MLPs. The underlying MLP will be focused in the energy sector. An investment in MLP units involves certain risks which differ from an investment in the securities of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control and voting rights on matters affecting the partnership. In addition, there are certain tax risks associated with an investment in MLP units and conflicts of interest exist between common unit holders and the general partner, including those arising from incentive distribution payments. As a partnership, an MLP has no tax liability at the entity level. If, as a result of a change in current law or a change in an MLP's business, an MLP were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, such MLP would be obligated to pay federal income tax on its income at the corporate tax rate. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP would be reduced and distributions received by investors would be taxed under federal income tax laws applicable to corporate dividends (as dividend income, return of capital, or capital gain). Therefore, the treatment of an MLP as a corporation for federal income tax purposes would result in a reduction in the after-tax return to investors, likely causing a reduction in the value of Fund shares. Fixed Income Securities Risk. · When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of the Fund’s investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). Credit Risk. · There is a risk that issuers of debt securities will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities. High Yield Securities Risk. · · Lower-quality bonds, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These bonds offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased possibility that the bond’s issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal. Such securities may also be subject to resale restrictions. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price. Investments in high yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. Convertible Securities Risk. · Convertible securities are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both bonds and common stock and are subject to risks associated with both debt securities and equity securities. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and tends to increase as interest rates decline. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk and prepayment or redemption risk. In addition, the Fund or Investment Funds may invest in convertible securities rated less than investment grade that are sometimes referred to as high yield or “junk bonds.” Convertible securities also have characteristics similar to common stock especially when their conversion value is the same as the value of the bond or preferred share. Preferred Securities Risk. There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities, including credit risk, interest rate risk, deferral and omission of distributions, subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure, limited liquidity, limited voting rights and special redemption rights. Medium and Small-Capitalization Company Risk. · The Fund or Investment Funds may invest in medium or small capitalization companies which may be newly formed or have limited product lines, distribution channels, and financial or managerial resources. The risks associated with these investments are generally greater than those associated with investments in the securities of larger, more established companies. This may cause the Fund’s NAV to be more volatile when compared to investment companies that focus only on large capitalization companies. Foreign Investment Risk. · Foreign securities may be issued and traded in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies may affect their values in U.S. dollar terms. The Fund or Investment Funds may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but there can be no assurance that the Fund or Investment Funds will, in fact, hedge currency risk or, that if the Fund or Investment Fund does, such strategies will be effective. The political, economic, and social structure of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the United States. Foreign companies may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. companies, and some countries may lack uniform accounting and auditing standards. Thus, there may be less information publicly available about foreign companies than about most U.S. companies. Certain foreign securities may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile than many U.S. securities. Emerging Market Risk. · Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 holder rights. Emerging market securities also tend to be less liquid. Unregistered Investment Funds Risk. · A substantial portion of the Investment Funds in which the Fund may invest will likely not be subject to or registered under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund’s investments will not be subject to certain protections afforded to investors under the 1940 Act. Restricted and Illiquid Investments Risk. · The Fund’s investments are also subject to liquidity risk, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. The Adviser may be unable to sell restricted and other illiquid securities at the most opportune times or at prices approximating the value at which they purchased such securities. Non-Diversification Risk. · The Fund is classified as a non-diversified management investment company under the 1940 Act. This means that the Fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in a limited number of issuers than would be the case if the Fund were classified as a diversified management investment company. Accordingly, the Fund may be subject to greater risk, because the Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company. Subsidiary Risk. · The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this prospectus, is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, Cayman Islands law does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands governmental authority taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. By investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income received from its investments in the Investment Funds will be passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains. No Operating History Risk. · The Fund is a closed-end investment company with no history of operations. It is designed for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. During the Fund’s start-up period, the Fund may not achieve the desired portfolio composition. If the Fund commences operations under inopportune market or economic conditions, it may not be able to achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s portfolio managers have no experience managing a closed-end fund. Limited Liquidity Risk. · The Fund is a closed-end investment company structured as an “interval fund” and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment companies, the Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There is currently no secondary market for the shares and the Fund does not expect that a secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly offers to repurchase shares at NAV. Under current regulations, such offers must be for not less than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding on the repurchase Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 request deadline. The Fund may increase the size of these offerings to up to 25% of the Fund’s shares outstanding, in the sole discretion of the Fund’s board of trustees (the “Board”), but it is not expected that the Board will do so. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. Management Risk. · The Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes and securities in which the Fund invests (directly or indirectly) may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results. Valuation Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments will be difficult to ascertain, and the valuations provided by the Adviser in respect of the Fund’s investments will likely vary from the amounts the Fund would receive upon sale or disposition of its investments. In particular, the Fund’s ownership interest in non-traded investment vehicles will be difficult to ascertain, and the Fund will depend heavily on the Adviser’s professional judgment to ascertain a valuation for the Fund’s investments in these vehicles. Such valuations involve subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. See “Determination of Net Asset Value.” Investment Funds Risk · . Fund shareholders may bear two layers of fees and expenses: asset- based fees and expenses at the Fund level, and asset-based fees, incentive allocations or fees and expenses at the Investment Fund level. The Fund's performance depends in part upon the performance of the Investment Fund managers and selected strategies, the adherence by such Investment Fund managers to such selected strategies, the instruments used by such Investment Fund managers and the Adviser's ability to select Investment Fund managers and strategies and effectively allocate Fund assets among them. Each Investment Fund is subject to its strategy-specific risks which may include leverage risk, illiquidity risk, derivatives risk and market risk. Business and Regulatory Risk. · Legal, tax and regulatory changes (including laws relating to taxation of the Fund’s investments, trade barriers and currency exchange controls), as well as general economic and market conditions (such as interest rates, availability of credit, credit defaults, inflation rates and general economic uncertainty) and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or security operations), may adversely affect the Fund. Repurchase Policy Risk. · Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, payment for repurchased shares may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser would otherwise liquidate such holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover. If the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on any such borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase offer by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income. To the extent the Fund finances repurchases by selling investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its net assets in less liquid securities. Also, the sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund’s NAV. Repurchase of shares will tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund’s investment performance, its net assets. A reduction in the Fund’s net assets may increase the Fund’s expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are not sold. In addition, the repurchase of shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders.

Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This activity creates a potential conflict of interest since there is an incentive to recommend insurance products based on commission or other benefits received from the insurance company, rather than on the client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Advisor. Howard Alexander Morin is a Member of Katahdin Ventures LLC.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading • Code of Ethics Helium Advisors has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions, Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality, Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual Review, and Sanctions. Helium Advisors’ Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or prospective client. • Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests Neither Helium Advisors nor its representatives recommend that clients buy or sell Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 any security in which a related person to Helium Advisors or Helium Advisors has a material financial interest. • Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities From time to time, representatives of Helium Advisors may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of Helium Advisors to buy or sell securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives unwillingly and unknowingly profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a potential conflict of interest; however, Helium Advisors will not knowingly engage in trading that operates to the client’s disadvantage if representatives of Helium Advisors buy or sell securities at or around the same time as clients. Helium Advisors will document transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will not knowingly engage in trading that operates to the client’s disadvantage when similar securities are being bought or sold. Item 12: Brokerage Practices • Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers Custodians/broker-dealers will be recommended based on Helium Advisors’ duty to seek “best execution,” which is the obligation to seek execution of securities transactions for a client on the most favorable terms for the client under the circumstances. Clients will not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, and Helium Advisors may also consider the market expertise and research access provided by the broker-dealer/custodian, including but not limited to access to written research, oral communication with analysts, admittance to research conferences and other resources provided by the brokers that may aid in Helium Advisors’ research efforts. Helium Advisors utilizes and recommends the following custodians – Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC Charles Schwab & Co, MTG, LLC dba Betterment Securities • Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits While Helium Advisors has no formal soft dollar program in which soft dollars are used to pay for third party services, Helium Advisors may receive research, products, or other services from custodians and broker-dealers in connection with client securities into soft-dollar transactions (“soft dollar benefits”). Helium Advisors may enter arrangements consistent with (and not outside of) the safe-harbor contained in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There can be no assurance that any particular client will benefit from soft dollar research, whether or not the client’s transactions paid for it, and Helium Advisors does not seek to allocate benefits to client accounts proportionate to any soft dollar credits generated by the accounts. Helium Advisors benefits by not having to produce or pay for the research, products or services, and Helium Helium Advisors Form ADV 2A 032025 Advisors will have an incentive to recommend a broker-dealer based on receiving research or services. Clients should be aware that Helium Advisors’ acceptance of soft dollar benefits may result in higher commissions charged to the client. • Brokerage for Client Referrals Helium Advisors receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party. • Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use Helium Advisors may require clients to use a specific broker-dealer to execute transactions. By directing brokerage, Helium Advisors may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions which could cost clients money in trade execution. Not all advisers require clients to use a particular broker-dealer. • Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts Helium Advisors may aggregate transactions if we believe that aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek best execution for our clients and is consistent with the disclosures made to clients and terms defined in the client Investment Management Agreement.
