HOUSTON–– Community Resource Credit Union and its CUSO, CRCU Retirement and Investment Services, has selected TruStage and LPL Financial to provide it with investment and wealth management services.
CRCU Retirement and Investment Services advisors serve approximately $175 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets, the organizations said, adding that the relationship between TruStage, LPL Financial, CRCU and CRCU Retirement and Investment Services allows their advisors to offer more members access to personalized wealth management advice and comprehensive planning services.
“The new partnership with LPL Financial and TruStage boosts our efforts to provide exceptional services and quality products that help our members pursue financial wellbeing,” Tim Foley, chief operations officer at CRCU, said in a statement. “Our purpose is to enrich our members’ lives and help them achieve their financial goals. CRCU has a long history of providing people with low-cost, high-value financial services, and this new partnership is the next step in our mission.”
‘Rich Service History’
