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.
Since 2009 I am an insurance producer in Washington State offering life and disability insurance; not investment-related; work from same location as advisory business; I spent approximately 5 hours per month on this business, sometimes during securities trading hours.
