CAPTRUST Financial Advisors, an independent retirement plan and investment advisory services provider, is opening an office in Dallas, expanding its reach to Texas.

The Raleigh, N.C.-based company opened offices in Ohio and California last year.

“Given the dramatic changes occurring throughout our industry,” said John Pickett, who will run the Dallas office, “I believe specialty firms like CAPTRUST, having reached a certain level of scale and resources, are better positioned to provide clients with strong and clear guidance amidst a dynamic environment.”

CAPTRUST Financial Advisors provides services to plan fiduciaries, executives and high net-worth private investors with other offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
