Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.

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).

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.

He serves as Managing Director of GT Securities, Inc., is CEO of Growthink, Inc., advises with Guiding Metrics on business dashboards and analytics, and is the managing member of GT Investment Management LLC, a to-be-formed investment advisory firm. In plain English, he runs a broker-dealer that handles securities transactions, leads a company that helps businesses plan and grow, and provides business-analytics guidance while preparing to operate an advisory firm. These roles do not involve insurance, tax, law, or real estate; because he controls multiple related firms there is potential to favor his own companies when making recommendations, so any advice should prioritize the client's best interest.

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.
