None

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.
(1) Flourish Financial Partners is a DBA that I use to market the investment and financial planning services that I provide. Started in Jan. 2016. I am the Managing Member of Flourish FP, LLC which is an entity for payroll and accounting for the investment and financial planning services offered by me. One hour per month on this activity, not investment related. (2) I hold an insurance license to sell limited insurance products. It is anticipated that a small portion, less than 10%, of my time will be spent providing these services. I may receive compensation from selling insurance products and therefore receive economic benefit for this activity. (3) President of the Tiffany Homeowners Association. Not investment related, and there is no compensation for serving on my community association. Estimate less than 3 hours per month spent on this activity.
