TRUST Renews Key Contracts with Callahan Subsidiary, Credit Union Partnership and Investment Manager

WASHINGTON, D.C. – TRUST, the oldest and largest mutual fund created for and by credit unions, renewed several of its key contracts for administration, distribution and investment management services, during its recent annual meeting. TRUST’s board of trustees reviews and evaluates each provider annually to ensure that its credit union investors are receiving the best services available.

Callahan Credit Union Financial Services Limited Liability Partnership (CUFSLP) will continue to serve as administrator for TRUST.  Thirty-six leading credit unions, along with Callahan Financial Services as general partner, provide innovation, collaboration and thought leadership through CUFSLP.

Callahan Financial Services, Inc. (CFS) will continue to serve as the TRUST’s distributor. CFS is a registered broker/dealer and a subsidiary of Callahan & Associates. This organization has been responsible for the marketing and sales of TRUST since the funds’ inception and has a deep understanding of the credit union industry’s unique needs.

“These service providers must demonstrate their capabilities to the entire Board of Trustees each year,” said Jim Barr, Chairman of the Board for TRUST. “I’m pleased to announce these contract renewals and believe that the continuity of providers is a testament to TRUST’s ongoing role within the industry.”
