With the way of the world today, finding the right investment with the right balance between risk and return – is no simple task. The demand chorus is louder and louder each day. If one takes on a proven investment, the return will be appropriately lower. One has only to look to the retail and commercial banking industry for confirmation, with under six percent returns per annum.

If one seeks out the new, the untried – the attendant return may be higher – but so too is the risk. So how can one garner the best return on investment while mitigating the risk factor?

Life Settlements and the unique financial instruments developed from them by COPS Merchant Banking (“COPS MB”) is one very good solution.

Experience comes from the combined wealth of expertise in finance covered by the original principals of COPS MB and continues to this day with Dan Overmyer, one of the original founders, and his team of highly qualified experts in the company today.

Vision started early on with Mr. Overmyer. He founded a warehousing company nearly four decades ago and far ahead of its time. Decades earlier, he developed and utilized supply side warehousing that today has come to be standard practice in warehouse management; ISO2000 ‘just in time’ production and supply.

Looking to the future, Mr. Overmyer, envisioned containerization and what has come be to Intermodal distribution and planned accordingly. Overmyer warehouses became the cutting edge in this type of Intermodal distribution hubs for the interchange of containerized and conventional freight. They were well located near ship, rail and truck transport and built with computerized inventory control systems in place. Working with such giants of the industry as American Can, Boeing, Chrysler, Crown Z, Eastman Kodak, Safeway and Xerox - to name but a few.

Overmyer became a pioneer in UHF television transmission, founding WDHO-TV in Toledo, Ohio. It first aired in May of 1966 with the most powerful UHF signal in the entire Midwest USA at 2.7M watts. Today, the station still broadcasts as an NBC affiliate.

Innovation continues today with COPS MB. Patterning itself after Private Banks, its clients can be assured that they will be treated with absolute confidentiality. All information will remain solely between COPS MB, its employees, and the client. COPS MB searches the world for projects as diverse as investments in multi-media projects and new media advertising in Germany and wireless services in regions as yet unexplored by the multi-nationals. It also comes with the quality and types of financial instruments COPS MB has developed. Cutting away from the pack has always been a standard of Overmyer and the financial industry is no different.  COPS MB has developed a secure niche market of financial instruments to finance it’s projects, provide security for it’s investments and for finding investments not yet overwhelmed by multinational corporations. Getting there first is a trademark of Overmyer and spells great opportunity.

Experience. Vision. Innovation.  When thinking of financing, think COPS Merchant Banking.
