STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NewEdge Wealth, LLC, a registered investment adviser specializing in servicing the needs of ultra high net worth families, family offices and institutional clients, announced today it opened its San Francisco office with former First Republic wealth manager John Froley, CFP® as its first advisor.
Froley joins NewEdge Wealth from First Republic Investment Management. He served as a wealth manager at the bank for nearly 15 years.
“The changing San Francisco market presents an incredible opportunity for NewEdge Wealth to serve a dynamic client base in need of bespoke wealth management services, and John’s experience in the region makes him the perfect person to lead our expansion in the Bay Area,” said Rob Sechan, CEO and Co-Founder of NewEdge Wealth. “We are thrilled John chose to continue his career with us, and we look forward to growing our West Coast presence together.”
Froley began his career as an analyst at Gabelli Funds in New York and later joined Van Kasper & Co. in San Francisco as a senior analyst. He joined First Republic in 2008 where he provided investment management and financial planning services to private clients at Bank of America and AXA.
Froley added, “I am excited to join NewEdge Wealth and look forward to working with Rob and his team as we create a San Francisco office to deliver services to ultra high net worth and institutional clients.”
Froley’s announcement comes on the heels of the firm’s opening in the Nashville area, along with Bentonville, Arkansas, earlier this year. The firm also added former Morgan Stanley advisor, Josh Gully, in April to its roster of more than 30 advisors serving ultra high net worth families, family offices and institutional clients.
NewEdge Wealth is securing office space in San Francisco, with plans for immediate expansion.
