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.

Mr. Gordon is a licensed insurance agent; he holds his license for advisory purposes only. However, if he were to receive commissions on insurance products he recommends to clients, this service would create a conflict of interest with Vaquero clients if Mr. Gordon recommends the purchase of insurance products from which he will receive a commission. This conflict is mitigated through the fact that clients are free to purchase insurance products that Mr. Gordon recommends elsewhere.
