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) FOCUS FINANCIAL NETWORK, INC. POSITION: Investment Advisory Representative NATURE: Registered Investment Advisory Representative. INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 160 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 130 START DATE: 09/01/1999 ADDRESS: 1500 McAndrews Rd W, Suite 210, Burnsville MN 55337, United States DESCRIPTION: I place trades in clients' Schwab accounts, establish new Schwab accounts and complete transfer forms, address changes, and arrange for systematic inflows / outflows from clients' Schwab accounts. I review portfolios for clients using software, make suggestions for rebalancing, and monitor for portfolio drift. 2) THE BASBALLE GROUP, INC. POSITION: Owner NATURE: The Basballe Group, Inc. is structured as an S-Corporation to deliver tax preparation services, tax planning, tax consulting and accounting / Quickbooks services. INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 10 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 3 START DATE: 12/21/2020 ADDRESS: 1500 McAndrews Rd W, Suite 210, Burnsville MN 55337, United States DESCRIPTION: I will be overseeing the activities of my employee, Amy Moser, as she conducts tax return preparation, accounting services, tax planning and tax consulting, and other income tax related activities for our mutual clients as well as the marketing we will both be doing to attract new clients to The Basballe Group. We have a client engagement letter that clearly specifies a bright line between tax planning services offered by The Basballe Group, Inc. and investment management / financial planning services offered through Focus Financial. 3) BASBALLE RENTAL PROPERTY POSITION: Farm House Owner NATURE: Advisor is in the process of establishing an LLC to be able to purchase investment property with the intent of renting it out. The Advisor's father died three months ago, and the Advisor's mother wishes to sell the family farm / homestead and does not want to carry on with the management of the farm house property and care of the various outbuildings on the farm. The farm site is located in Redwood Falls, MN, approximately 90 minutes from Advisor's primary residence. Advisor will be making frequent monthly trips back to Redwood Falls to visit with her mother, who now lives in independent living. This is a solid investment opportunity to see appreciation in the 10 acres of open land attached to the farm site, and to rent out the farm house for monthly income. The negotiation for this investment property is happening now, and if successful in winning the bid, this rental property activity will start later in the summer months of 2025. INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 2 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 04/01/2025 ADDRESS: 240 Walnut Lane, Apple Valley MN 55124, United States DESCRIPTION: As owner of this investment property, I will engage in monthly collection of rent from the farm house and the occasional property inspection to ensure appliances and the house is in working order for the tenant. I will occasionally need to review the insurance policies for this property as well. This will not require day-to-day property management. I will have local professionals who will be on call if repairs of appliances need to be made
