The new location is overseen by Gail Cohen, vice chairman of

Cohen will work alongside Teresa Weintraub, president and
chief executive of Fiduciary Trust International of the South, and her Miami team. Fiduciary Trust also said it plans to hire more local staff.  

“As interest in Florida
continues to increase among high net worth individuals due to tax advantages
and real estate opportunities, it is vital for us to broaden our presence in
the state in order to give clients direct, personal access to the depth and
breadth of our investment and trust management services,” Cohen said.

management firm serving individuals, families, endowments and foundations.

The firm has $43.7 billion in assets under management and
administration as of September 30, 2013. It specializes in strategic wealth
