GREENWICH, CT--(Marketwire - December 16, 2010) - Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust recently recruited two financial advisor teams, the company announced today. H. Frazier Caner and Samuel A. Gilliland, Jr., managed more than $200 million AUM at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and David B. Rosenthal advised on $800 million of Institutional assets at Morgan Stanley Graystone Consulting.
The announcement was made by President & Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Matthews. Matthews noted that the three hires, all of whom will serve as Membership Executives, represent new priorities for growth and service at the boutique financial firm.
"David will lead our Institutional Advisory team encompassing the entire institutional spectrum. Frazier and Sam are partners adding significantly to the breadth of our Wealth Management expertise," Matthews said.
"Every Membership Executive is a Managing Director who serves select Members, understands both sides of each family's balance sheet, and views both business and personal services holistically," Matthews said. "Fieldpoint Private combines conflict-free investment and financial services, comprehensive wealth planning and discreet private banking all through one integrated deliverable, driven by one relationship executive. We adapt ourselves to the Member, rather than the other way around. That's the Fieldpoint Private difference."
All three Membership Executives work in the Greenwich, Connecticut, office of Fieldpoint Private. A New York City office expansion is planned in 2011.
