Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.

Other business activities

Information obtained from regulatory filings. Advisors can request corrections through their firm or regulator.

Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.

1) Estate Sale | Investment Related:No|Retail|Owner|4/4/2026|Less than 20|0|My grandfather in-law passed way August of 2025. He had an extensive autographed book collection among other collectibles. The family (my mother in-law and her siblings) is wanting to sell the collection. This will require establishing an eBay account, posting listings to sell the books, with some items being collectibles such as toys or autographed footballs, and shipping them to buyers. They have offered for me to keep 25% of the earnings. There are about 150 books and an additional 20 items that are to be sold, and the eBay shop and book sales would be shut down once all books and other items are sold
