Fisher Investments Hires Barnett Trust Exec

Gary R. Zino, a trust marketing and sales manager at Barnett Banks Inc., Jacksonville, Fla., has resigned to join Fisher Investments Inc., Woodside, Calif.

Mr. Zino, a senior vice president, worked at Barnett for seven years. His unit, Barnett Banks Trust Co., was recently renamed private client services, and put under the purview of Richard H. Jones, Barnett's chief asset management executive.

At Fisher, Mr. Zino will market funds to wealthy clients and prospects in Florida. Fisher manages $1.5 billion for individuals and for corporations and institutions such as Delta Airlines and Vanderbilt University.

Mr. Zino said he is looking forward to working for a nonbank institution. "A bank customer, even with $1 million, doesn't view the world like an investor because they are savers," Mr. Zino said.
