In 1975 the North Carolina Security Traders Association was incorporated as a non-profit representing the investment community within the state. In 2005 our organization expanded to include our fellow investment professionals in the state of South Carolina and we changed the name of our Association to the Carolina Security Traders Association — CSTA. Today our organization represents over 20 firms throughout the Carolinas and is an affiliate of the Security Traders Association (STA), our national organization.
