WealthVest Financial Partners, a distribution firm specializing in fixed and indexed insurance and retirement savings products, has appointed a regional director in New England.

WealthVest has appointed Kevin Baker as regional director in Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.

Baker was most recently owner of American Annuity and 4D Private Wealth Strategies. Before this, he served as regional vice president at MetLife Investors and A.I.G/Sun America.

“We are excited to welcome Kevin to the WealthVest Financial Partners team. Kevin has a strong, established track record wholesaling annuities throughout the New England region and brings with him many longstanding relationships,” said Kevin Connor, managing director at WealthVest.

The hire folows that of Tom Leslie, who joined WealthVest in September as regional director in the eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and west Virginia territories.
