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.

Softbutter LLC - 59 S Salem Rd., Ridgefield, CT 06877. Softbutter LLC is a company that creates and distributes peanut butter and this is not investment-related. As a part owner of the company my duties are limited and include evaluation of the business operations, tasting recipes, offering opinions on product ideas and supporting the company's mission. I have been associated with Softbutter since 04/2023. I anticipate spending one hour per month on this activity and zero hours per month during trading hours.
