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 July 2003, I have been a partial owner of Financial Planning Systems, LLC, a non investment related software development firm, located at 215 N Power Rd. #224 Mesa, AZ 85205. No time is devoted to this entity.
