Bank of America's private wealth management business U.S. Trust has capped its 2010 national wealth management team expansion with the addition of five new advisers.
The hires come after a spate of growth in U.S. Trust's team this year as it aims to improve its capabilities for ultra-high-net-worth clients. The advisers will be based in California, Arizona, New York and Virginia.
In California, U.S. Trust has added Chad Reddy as regional trust executive for Northern California and Barbara Bagley as senior vice president and portfolio manager. In Arizona, Cornelius Mercea will serve as senior vice president and portfolio manager for the Tucson area. In New York, Judy Slotkin will serve as a U.S. Trust market executive, focusing on personalized services and capabilities for ultra-high-net-worth clients. And in Charlottesville, Va., Charles H. Ewald has joined as senior vice president and private client consultant.
