Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.

POSITION: Treasurer NATURE: Finance Committee chairman INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 2 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 2 START DATE: 01/01/2015 ADDRESS: 1 East Ave, Lockport NY 14094, United States DESCRIPTION: Review expenses after they have been paid and lead the board discussion at our quarterly board meetings. Board members are compensated at a base rate of $11,000 per year. The Treasurer currently is compensated at a rate of $13,000 per year. This may change in the future.

Name: CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF NIAGARA COUNTY, NY POSITION: Committeeman of a Lockport, NY District NATURE: elected political position INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 0 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 08/20/2015 ADDRESS: 44 South Vernon St., Middleport NY 14105, United States DESCRIPTION: see above 1.1.13 for description. I do nothing. Name: CONNOR WEALTH MANAGEMENT POSITION: owner NATURE: Insurance INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 3 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 01/15/2009ADDRESS: 5860 Snyder Dr, Lockport NY 14094-9497, United States DESCRIPTION: Connor Wealth Management is a sole proprietorship that I have utilized for 17 years to run my business with Commonwealth. It has utilities in it's name, staff is paid through it, it has a SEP IRA plan for staff and owner. It is anticipated that Connor Hammer will take over most or all of these responsibilities over time, but Connor Hammer will not be ready to do that on 4/1/26 so Connor Wealth Management will need to stay in existence for now. I have to file tax returns, payroll forms and taxes, and operate a SEP plan for the current business. Name: CONNOR HAMMER POSITION: owner, founder NATURE: Investment advisory services through Kestra Advisory Services, LLC INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 160 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 130 START DATE: 04/01/2026 ADDRESS: 5860 Snyder Dr, Lockport NY 14094-9497, United States DESCRIPTION: As part of the transition to Kestra, Eric Connor, Paul Hammer and Adam Hammer agreed to do business under a common name. I have filed the dba paperwork to establish the firm, currently as a sole proprietorship for expediency sake. We might make a change to a partnership in the future so that we are all actual owners. I anticipate keeping Connor Wealth Management as a dba name as well, not used for public facing roles any longer, but that will allow me to keep my old business files/employees as consistent as possible without needing to do a bunch of government updating for all the tax filing and employee filings that are required. Connor Wealth Management also shows up currently on my NY Life and Health Insurance license and I would not really be able to update that until the next time I renew my license, which is in October of this year. I purchased the web domain connorhammer.com as well. The answers below will be best guesses since the business is not active prior to affliating with Kestra, so we are not 100% final about anything. Name: KESTRA ADVISORY SERVICES POSITION: IAR NATURE: Investment advisory services through Kestra Advisory Services, LLC INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 160 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 130 START DATE: 04/01/2026 ADDRESS: 5707 Southwest Parkway, Building 2, Suite 400, Austin TX 78735, United States DESCRIPTION: IAR
