Yes

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.

I am a 1099 agent for Bankers Life and Casualty Company (BLC). As a BLC agent, I am also appointed with KFA through BLC which allows agents to write business for Medicare Supplement, Annuity and Equity Indexed annuity insurance products, life insurance, health and LTC.
