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.

Why is a state registration marked "Terminated"? When a firm registers with the SEC (usually after managing $100M+ AUM), it often withdraws separate state firm registrations unless required by that state. The firm can still serve clients there through its individually registered Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs).

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

1. Divergent Financial Marketing - partner, not investment related, Athens, GA, 07/2021, 10 hours per month, 10 hours per moth during business hours. 2. In addition to securities work, I hold my life license and work with clients to provide fixed products, as appropriate. When clients choose fixed products, I'm paid a street level commission from the respective insurance companies. This is always disclosed to clients. 3. In addition to the work in my personal practice, I'm the licensed principal for a small FMO (agency) that works with advisors on help their clients with financial planning work. This agency is limited to ONLY fixed business -- all of the advisors that work with that firm do their securities business through the appropriate RIA or B/D. 4. Lastly, I have a small portfolio of rental properties in Athens, GA. This business is staffed and I spend very little time in it.
