DALLAS — Amid the market volatility of recent months, credit unions placed significant investments with Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union during 2007. Last year, credit unions in-vested nearly $1.4 billion in “special certificates” and “reverse inquiries” alone. That figure marked a sharp increase over the $1 billion invested in these particular instruments offered by Southwest Corporate in 2006.
