The provider of wealth management, family office, private banking and business banking services has made a senior appointment in New York.

Fieldpoint Private, headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, has appointed Christopher DeLaura as managing director and senior advisor.

DeLaura joins the firm's New York office from Westport Resources, where he advised on around $200 million in client assets on behalf of more than 20 families, and held various management roles including chief operating officer. Previously, he spent 11 years with UBS Financial Services in roles including financial advisor and director of the firm's emerging affluent program.

DeLaura advises families across all aspects of wealth management, including cashflow, asset allocation, multi-generation family governance, insurance, credit, charitable planning and business planning. He will also serve as Fieldpoint Private's chief administrative officer, wealth advisory, with operations responsibility for the firm's broker-dealer and registered investment advisor units.

Robert Matthews, president and chief executive of Fieldpoint Private said that DeLaura is the latest example of a “broad scope of advisors” who have joined the firm. 

“They are coming here from the large universal banks, independent RIAs, multi-family offices, private banks and trust companies – even from institutional trading backgrounds," he said. “What they all have in common is a commitment to put the client first and to provide wealth advice that is uncolored by conflicting interests. We are proud that, once again, a professional of Chris's caliber has elected to join us.”
