About

Copperleaf Capital provides advisory services to individuals, families, high‑net‑worth clients, retirement plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. Its service menu includes tailored financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, implementation of insurance and annuity recommendations, and a digital currency management option.

The firm begins client engagements with a values‑based discovery process and produces a written financial plan and personal investment policy, using planning software and a dynamic dashboard to aggregate and stress‑test accounts. Investment implementation is driven by a set of model portfolios maintained in its trading system (Eclipse) that rely mainly on U.S. equities, government bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, guided by fundamental “Four Pillars” equity selection, third‑party research, and systematic sector signals, with at least quarterly account reviews.

What distinguishes Copperleaf from many peers is its integration with a broader financial services group: it is a subsidiary of Brookstone Capital Management and is connected through ownership to AmeriLife and related insurance marketing organizations, and several team members are licensed insurance agents whose sales are supported through IMO relationships. The firm also offers services that are less common for similarly sized advisers, including discretionary management of held‑away retirement accounts, access to Dimensional’s UMA program, a digital‑asset SMA program administered via Gemini/Alto, and a formal sub‑advisory/referral arrangement with another adviser.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
