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.

Other business activities

Information obtained from regulatory filings. Advisors can request corrections through their firm or regulator.

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.
