Product Sponsor Compensation
At Money Concepts Capital Corp., (MCC), we strive to provide you with objective investment advice to assist you in achieving your goals. There are inherent in any recommendations, however, the potential for conflicts of interest. This conflict can come from the compensation our Representatives may receive on specific investments or advisory services, or it may come from the compensation that MCC may receive from third-party providers as a result of your purchase of products, advisory, or retirement plan services. It is important for you to understand these conflicts of interest so that you may make an informed decision to permit MCC to serve your investment needs. We will describe for you here some of the compensation factors as to the products and services that we offer. Should you have any questions about this information, please contact your MCC Financial Representative.
Product and Pricing Choice - MCC Product Sponsors have been chosen based on their ability to offer products that meet the financial needs of our investors, and the complexity associated with many of today’s product choices, it is important for investors to work with a Financial Representative.

MCC does not maintain a “preferred” list of companies based on participation in any revenue sharing that it promotes but offers a selection of many companies.

Source of Compensation - Some additional compensation payments are paid to MCC out of the revenues of the sponsoring investment company or insurance company and are NOT paid out of fund assets. Certain insurance companies or entities through which MCC places insurance business pay compensation that is based in part on factors such as total deposits, assets or premium volume, and persistency or profitability of the business sold by MCC's Financial Representatives.
