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.
Beck Bode Wealth Management, LLC is a part owner of Boston Retirement Advisors, LLC ("BRA"), a registered investment adviser. Clients of Beck Bode Wealth Management, LLC are generally not referred to BRA for advisory services, nor are clients of BRA normally referred to Beck Bode Wealth Management, LLC. However, there may be rare occasions where clients of one entity are referred to the other if the services of the other entity appear to better serve the client's, or prospective client's, needs. In such case no referral fees are paid by either entity but Beck Bode Wealth Management, LLC, would have a financial interest in the person becoming a client of the other entity. Consequently, a conflict of interest exists when such a referral is made.
