Why CU Investment Solutions?
Catalyst Corporate partners with CU Investment Solutions to create a brokerage service exclusively for credit unions. Its purpose is to provide credit unions with a high level of service at a lower cost. The staff is made up of experienced professionals who approach each credit union individually, assessing its objectives against the current market environment. These registered representatives have the expertise and knowledge to tailor solutions that are appropriate for a credit union’s asset size, buying frequency and long-term goals. Credit unions benefit from relationships with investment professionals who understand both the investment industry’s many diverse requirements and the regulatory environment in which credit unions operate.
