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.
Michael A. Marinelli has a financial industry affiliated business as an insurance agent. Not more than 30% of his time is spent on this activity. From time to time, he offers clients advice or products from this activity. Mr. Marinelli may receive separate yet typical compensation in the form of commissions for the sale of insurance products (i.e. annuities) with commission and/or revenue sharing arrangements typically ranging from 3% to 7%. These practices represent a conflict of interest because it gives Mr. Marinelli an incentive to recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Mr. Marinelli has a fiduciary responsibility to place the best interest of the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of their choosing.
