UMSL Wealth Management Disclosures

UMSL-WM-Hero

Securities and advisory services offered through Copper Financial Network, LLC, Member FINRA, SIPC. Copper Financial is an SEC registered investment adviser. Products offered through Copper Financial are not NCUA or otherwise federally insured, are not guarantees or obligations of the credit union, and may involve investment risk, including loss of principal. Copper Financial is a wholly owned subsidiary of CommunityAmerica Federal Credit Union (“CommunityAmerica”), whereby Copper Financial offers investment products and services to members of Community America. CommunityAmerica Wealth Management is a marketing name used by Copper Financial.

 

Copper Financial is not affiliated with the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL). UMSL is not a client of Copper Financial for advisory services. CommunityAmerica compensates UMSL for this endorsement.

 

CommunityAmerica has an agreement with UMSL that allows CommunityAmerica the use of certain sponsorships, images, and naming rights, including the use of the designations “Proud Banking Partner of the University of Missouri – St. Louis”, and “Exclusive Campus Banking Partner of the University of Missouri – St. Louis”, and other UMSL trademarks for use in CommunityAmerica advertising. In connection therewith CommunityAmerica may also receive other benefits and advertisements at UMSL events.

 

As consideration for this arrangement and the aforementioned benefits, CommunityAmerica pays UMSL compensation that includes benefits for CommunityAmerica, and in turn, Copper Financial. The portion of this compensation specific to the endorsement of Copper Financial is not separated from the compensation paid to UMSL by CommunityAmerica for all benefits.

 

Copper Financial does not directly compensate UMSL for any referrals. However, this arrangement incentivizes UMSL to endorse CommunityAmerica which could, in turn,  generate referrals to Copper Financial.
