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.
