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.
AAII - American Association of Individual Investors - Mr. Bingham has volunteered as a "Stock Selection Strategies Special Interest Group" (SSSSIG) Leader since 2010. The task is to lead group educational meetings and discussions regarding stock selection strategies and market commentary. This also turned into a AAII St. Louis Chapter Board Member Position which simply involves attending Board Meetings and providing input on events. Until Covid-19 shutdown occurred, time volunteered each month varied from approximately 5 hours to 10 hours depending on meeting schedule or about 90 to 100 hours per year. Since Covid shut down live meetings the time spent from January to August 2024 has been less than 15 hours. This may increase in the future if regular Chapter meetings resume. Brian Bingham receives no income from this position. Brian Bingham has no ownership in this entity, and Brian Bingham will occasionally tell clients or others about the meetings. In 2020 Mr. Bingham received a "Certificate of Appreciation" for ten years of service to AAII from the national headquarters. Investor's Business Daily Meetup Groups - Mr. Bingham began leading The Southwest Illinois Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group in 2011 and has been a leader in groups in the San Diego, CA area as well as doing talks at other IBD groups in Tacoma, WA, and Los Angeles, CA, and Eugene, OR. The IBD Meetup Groups were sponsored by William O'Neil's Investor's Business Daily Newspaper to educate individual investors on how the market actually works as well as education on the characteristics of some of the best growth companies of the past nearly 140 years in the US markets. As leader, Mr. Bingham's primary task was doing educational talks which often lasted four to six hours on Saturday mornings and into the afternoon. There is no income to Mr. Bingham or his advisory firm. Mr. Bingham has no ownership in this investment club as there is nothing to own and the true founder was Investor's Business Daily. Mr. Bingham will invite clients and others to meetings if they are interested in learning about the stock market. Since Covid-19 shut down meetings, the group has not had regular meetings for several years but may again soon. Time spent on this group in the past 12 months is less than 3 hours. If meetings resume on a regular basis as in the past, time spent would increase to about 100 hours per year.
