Community Trust and Investment Company

What Community Trust and Investment Company does

Community Trust and Investment Company (CTIC) is the trust and investment subsidiary of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., a publicly traded bank holding company on NASDAQ (CTBI) founded in 1903 and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. CTIC operates two core business units: Wealth & Trust Management (WTM), delivering fiduciary, trust administration, estate planning, investment management, special needs trust services, and retirement/institutional plan administration; and Community Trust Financial Services (CTFS), delivering retail investment and insurance products through an LPL Financial partnership embedded in Community Trust Bank branches. The firm serves individuals and families, high-net-worth individuals, business owners, non-profits, and institutional retirement plan clients across Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Ohio, leveraging a branch-embedded relationship-banking GTM motion supported by Business Development Officers targeting CPAs and attorneys as referral partners.

Revenue is generated through three streams: net interest income and fee income from personal and business banking (community Trust Bank); recurring fiduciary and investment management fees from WTM; and transaction-based commissions and advisory fees on securities, annuities, and insurance products distributed through CTFS/LPL. The technology stack comprises internet and mobile banking (iOS/Android), mobile remote deposit capture, Zelle, Apple/Google/Samsung Pay, the CTIC Mobile Investing app, the FIS-powered WebLink online investment platform with multi-factor authentication, and standard card controls and digital issuance. Digital channels complement, rather than replace, the firm's primary face-to-face advisory distribution model.

Leadership is anchored by President and CEO Andy D. Waters (appointed 2011) and a Trust Executive Committee whose members collectively bring more than 274 years of financial-services experience and hold designations including CFP, CFA, CPA, CTFA, J.D., and LL.M. in Taxation. The firm holds FDIC deposit insurance, FINRA/SIPC coverage through LPL, Equal Housing Lender status, CCPA-compliant privacy practices, and WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility compliance on its web properties.
