Snowden Lane Partners, an independent wealth advisory firm, has announced the launch of a new advisory team based in their New York City headquarters: the Oliveira, Silva & Mogro (OSM) Group, whose members join from Wells Fargo.
This new team, the sixth one to join Snowden Lane this year, is composed by Joe Oliveira, Jorge Silva and Jessy Mogro as Partners and Managing Directors; and Ana Paula O’Keefe as Senior Registered Client Relationship Manager. They will oversee 212 million dollars in client assets.
Rob Mooney, CEO of Snowden Lane Partners, claimed to be “delighted” to welcome the group. “They care deeply about their clients and they’ve created a tight-knit team that really works well together. It’s no surprise they’ve become such a successful and high-performing group, and we look forward to watching them grow”, he added.
The team specializes in customized wealth management solutions and financial planning for their clients residing predominantly in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela and Europe, as well as in the U.S. OSM tailors a customer-centric and fiduciary approach to each of their clients’ needs and financial goals, with client satisfaction and trust at the center, says their webpage.
“The universe of wealth advisors has grown dramatically over the last few years, but as we took a look at the firms out there and analyzed which platforms offered the best home for our clients, Snowden Lane really stood out,” commented Oliveira.
