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.

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.

LICENSED INSURANCE Representative Bret Schultz is a licensed insurance agent. Insurance recommendation implementation is separate and apart from Bret Schultz’s role with Martin & Company. As an insurance professional, Bret Schultz will receive customary commissions and related revenues from the various insurance companies selling products. Bret Schultz is not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain insurance companies' products. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by Bret Schultz. Bret Schultz will spend approximately 10% of his time per month in this capacity.
