Fiduciary Trust Company International provides wealth planning, investment management and trust and estate services, as well as tax and custody services worldwide. As of December 31, 2014, it managed over $47 billion in assets under administration and management.

Fiduciary Trust Company International has hired Kate Freeman as a managing director and business development officer in California.

Freeman joins from the Australian-based wealth management firm BT Financial Group, where she was a national life insurance development manager. She has over ten years of experience in the wealth management industry and will be based in Los Angeles.

“Kate's wide-ranging expertise, having worked at Australia's largest wealth management firm, will be a fantastic resource for Fiduciary Trust as we continue to expand our presence in Southern California,” said managing director and head of Fiduciary Trust International of California, Stephen Dutka.

Meanwhile, earlier this month Fiduciary Trust Company International relocated relationship manager and senior trust officer Suzanne Weston to its Boca Raton office in a bid to boost coverage in South Florida.
