Other business activities

Outside business activity is any business or activity undertaken by an advisor that is outside the scope of their relationship with their firm (e.g., consulting services, real estate, freelance work, teaching, etc.). Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.

1.Trustee of the Pentz Family Trust upon the death of Hans Pentz which was 2-15-2016. Responsibilities are to carry out the wishes of trustor and handle the management and protection of the trust. Estate will be charged my fee of $150/hour. Anticipated time upon death of the trustor is 5%. 2. Based on professional advice from my CPA/Tax Advisor, I established Colburn Financial Group, LLC as a Limited Liability Company in the state of Kansas. Subsequently, I filed for the LLC to be accepted as an "S" Corp. The LLC was established for the receipt of my securities commission income and for the payment of normal business expenses associated with self-employment as a registered representative, 1099 employee and financial advisor with GAI and FAFA. Per the recommendation of auditor Kohl Juranus,given during our Recent 2018 FINRA Audit, and related to FINRA Rule 3270, I now report the LLC as an Outside Business Activity as I am the entity's sole proprietor and officer. My ownership and utilization of CFG, LLC does not present a business conflict for Great American Investors, Inc. or for First American Financial Advisors, Inc. as it is within the scope of the relationship of my member firm.

Don't see your state listed? The advisor may still be able to work with you under the federal De Minimis Rule, which allows up to five investment advisory clients in a state without registration. Some states, like TX, LA, NE, and NH, may still require registration or notice filing. Contact the advisor or their firm to confirm their investment advisory availability in your state. Note: This rule does not apply to broker-dealer activity.

Why is a state registration marked "Terminated"? When a firm registers with the SEC (usually after managing $100M+ AUM), it often withdraws separate state firm registrations unless required by that state. The firm can still serve clients there through its individually registered Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs).
