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.
JOHN CHAN IS A LICENSED INSURANCE AGENT. FROM TIME TO TIME, HE WILL OFFER CLIENTS ADVICE OR PRODUCTS FROM THIS ACTIVITY. CLIENTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THESE SERVICES PAY A COMMISSION AND INVOLVE A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AS COMMISSIONABLE PRODUCTS CAN CONFLICT WITH THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF A REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER. ALAMO INSURANCE & WEALTH MANAGEMENT ALWAYS ACTS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CLIENT; INCLUDING IN THE SALE OF COMMISSIONABLE PRODUCTS TO ADVISORY CLIENTS. CLIENTS ARE IN NO WAY REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN THROUGH ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF ALAMO INSURANCE & WEALTH MANAGEMENT IN THEIR CAPACITY AS A LICENSED INSURANCE AGENT. JOHN CHAN SPENDS 30 HOURS PER WEEK OF HIS TIME ON THOSE ACTIVITIES AND CONSIDERS THEM HIS PRIMARY BUSINESS. Falcon Insurance Services is a property & casualty insurance agency located at 6812 Bandera Rd #200 B, San Antonio, TX 78238. They provide home, auto & business insurance. I am a minority owner in the business, 21%. The start date was 4/1/2024. I work approximately 5 hours a week. Zero hours devoted to Falcon during securities trading hours. I provide financial oversight.
