A $155 million advisory firm in Rochester, New York, has switched allegiance to Private Advisor Group.
Delisanti Wealth Management was previously with Angelo Planning Group but decided on a move after careful consideration by owner and president Robb Delisanti, who was attracted to the $31.5 billion AUM RIA’s experience, compliance burden relief, ease of doing business, and efficiency.
Another key part of the decision was Private Advisor Group’s multi-custodian offering. In 2022, the firm launched WealthSuite, an exclusive multi-custodian in-house investment management platform offering core models and direct indexing capabilities to advisors.
"Joining Private Advisor Group marks a significant milestone for Delisanti Wealth Management," said Delisanti. "We are excited about the enhanced support and resources we can now offer our clients, enabling us to focus even more on their unique financial needs and goals. The alignment in values and the operational ease provided by Private Advisor Group and our new custodian Fidelity Investments, made this partnership a clear choice for us."
Verne Marble, director of business development at Private Advisor Group, welcomed Delisanti and his team to the firm.
"Robb's dedication to his clients and his commitment to providing personalized financial guidance align powerfully with our core values. We look forward to supporting the Delisanti Wealth Management team in their continued growth and success."
Private Advisor Group was established as an independent RIA in 2011 and was founded by Pat Sullivan and John Hyland who founded Morristown Financial Group in 1997. The firm is headquartered in New Jersey.
Rajesh Markan earlier this year pleaded guilty to one count of criminal fraud related to his sale of fake investments to 10 clients totaling $2.9 million.
From building trust to steering through emotions and responding to client challenges, new advisors need human skills to shape the future of the advice industry.
"The outcome is correct, but it's disappointing that FINRA had ample opportunity to investigate the merits of clients' allegations in these claims, including the testimony in the three investor arbitrations with hearings," Jeff Erez, a plaintiff's attorney representing a large portion of the Stifel clients, said.
