Cetera Welcomes Veteran Financial Advisor Christopher Crosby and His CPW Advisors Team with Approximately $113 Million in AUA

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cetera welcomes financial advisor Christopher Crosby and his team at CPW Advisors, a New Jersey-based advisory firm with approximately $113 million in assets under administration*. Crosby joins the Cetera Advisors community within Cetera.

Crosby said he transferred from United Planners Financial Services of America because he feels Cetera's scale and resources can help him significantly grow his practice over the next several years.

"I moved my company, CPW Advisors, to Cetera Advisors after evaluating more than five other independent broker-dealers, based on my assessment of Cetera's technology, trading platform, and investment offerings; it was a simple choice to make," Crosby said. "Cetera will be a valued partner in supporting our continued growth and client retention goals by offering financial tools that we believe are among the most effective in the industry."

Crosby also said he values Cetera's significant Northeast presence, including the white-glove support from his Cetera Regional Growth Team whose members are based in the same region as Crosby and his clients.

Cetera Advisor Channel Leader Tom Halloran welcomed Crosby, saying: "With approximately 80% of his business being advisory services, Chris offers his clients personalized service, so knowing he'll have a Cetera Regional Growth Team of five to 10 people regularly working with him, that's a significant value-add from the beginning, and it's all part of how Cetera is backing up our commitment to making the big feel small."
