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.
In addition to being a registered representative, officer, principal, employee, and insurance agent at Blakeslee & Blakeslee, Sam is also registered as an Investment Advisor Representative (and serves as President) of Blakeslee & Blakeslee Financial Advisors, and will offer clients advice or products from this activity. This activity is approved as it has not and will not detract from Sam's duties with respect to B&B and his clients. Also, as a firm, we've taken precautions against confusion between the two entities, including the signs on the door, separate forms and marketing materials, and adoption of the Form CRS. Sam additionally serves on the board for Common Cause -- this is an unpaid position, that requires few hours of time a week, after market closure. Given the limited time required on this activity and the fact that it does not interfere with his duties here, the activity is approved. Sam owns an investment property in Savannah GA that is rented as a short term renal. The property is professionally managed. It requires less than 5 hours a week of this time. Given the limited time involved and the fact that they have not interfered with his profession here, these investment activities are approved.
