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.
These other business activities are not believed to pose a material conflict of interest with Ron's advisory activities or to negatively affect his ability to serve advisory clients. 1) As of July 2015, to the present, Ron is employed by Western Kentucky University, located at 1906 College Heights Blvd. #21061, Bowling Green, KY 42101-1061, (not an investment related business). Ron is in a full-time tenured faculty position as an Associate Professor and Director for the Personal Financial Planning Program for approximately 160 hours/month except during summer break, and during trading hours.

Rhoades, Esq., located at 1441 Riva Ridge Ave., Bowling Green, KY 42104 (not an investment related business). As an attorney-at-law Ron provides legal advice to select clients who are residents of Florida which occupies approximately 8 hours/month of his time, sometimes during trading hours. This activity is completely separate from his advisory activities and no referrals are made between his private law practice and his investment advisory practice. While Ron is currently admitted to the Florida Bar, any legal advice is provided under Ron A. Rhoades, Esq. 3) As of July 2003, to the present, Ron as a sole proprietorship, Ron A. Rhoades, located at 1441 Riva Ridge Ave., Bowling Green, KY 42104, (not an investment related business). As a writer and speaker, Ron develops and provides educational webinars, blog posts, in-person and online courses, webinars, and in-person seminars to various industry organizations, financial planners, registered representatives, and investment adviser representatives, and undertakes occasional consulting engagements for broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, and compliance firms. These speaking and consulting engagements relate to investments, fiduciary law as applied to financial services, due diligence on mutual fund selection, and other topics relating to regulatory developments or financial planning. Ron also writes articles and columns for publication, and he also writes occasional white papers and books. This occupies approximately 24 hours/month of his time, sometimes during trading hours, mostly during summer break from the university. 4) As of March 2011, to the present, Ron A. Rhoades, individually, 1441 Riva Ridge Ave., Bowling Green, KY 42104. Ron serves as a member of the Steering Group of The Committee for the Fiduciary Standard.

In addition, Ron participates in occasional meetings or task forces of the Financial Planning Association, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., or other organizations. All of the activities required by these organizations are not investment related and occupy approximately 14-16 hours/month of Ron's time, sometimes during trading hours, and at times involve travel to attend meetings or provide presentations.
