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.
Denton Property, Ltd. - I am a general and limited partner of this partnership. It is owned by me and my siblings as well as my uncle and holds property in Denton, Texas, which we were gifted or inherited. My father gifted his interest to my siblings and I in approximately January 2009. I devote approximately 1 hr/month on average to this entity outside of trading hours. The property is currently under contract for sale, and we are hopeful it will close in the fall. My duties include trying to get a gas well on the property plugged, as well as reviewing contracts related to the potential sale and communicating with our broker and attorney regarding such potential sale. The business holds family real estate, but is not in the regular business of buying and selling real estate, and thus I would not think it would be considered investment-related. Once we complete the sale of the land, we will likely either dissolve the partnership or use the partnership to hold land that is currently outside the partnership and is owned by the same owners (family legacy property). The official address of the partnership is Austin, Texas . Jean Hoffman Mgmt Co, LLC - I am a managing member of this LLC. My 2 siblings and uncle are also managing members. My grandmother, who passed away in July 2021 was a managing member as well and my father and uncle, as co-executors of her estate, are working though the disposition of her interest in the LLC. The purpose of the LLC is to manage J Hoffman Farms, Ltd., a partnership that owns a family farm that has been in my family for over 100 years. The farm is in Hood County, Texas. My grandmother operated the farm until her death with my uncle's help. Given my grandmother's recent death, we are working through the farm's operations going forward, but will likely be leasing the farm to my uncle for operation as he lives on the property. I have held this interest in the management company since January 2009 (gifted to me by my father), and my duties are approximately 1hr/month on average outside of trading hours. My duties relate to general structure of the operation. The official address of this business is PO Box 298, Granbury, Texas 76048. The business is not investment-related.
