The new director will oversee six offices and will be responsible for more than 60 financial advisors.

RBC Wealth Management has appointed Justin Ferdula as director of its Chicago complex, as the firm continues to bolster its wealth management operations across the US.

Ferdula will oversee for the Chicago, Lakeshore, North Shore, Oakbrook, Orland Park and Indianapolis offices and will be responsible for more than 60 financial advisors, the firm said in a statement yesterday.

The new Chicago director has 14 years’ experience in the industry. He joined the firm from Morgan Stanley, where he previously led its Rockerfeller Center branch.

“Justin is an extremely intelligent manager and a very hard worker,” said Wally Chapman, director. “He has the wealth of knowledge and depth of leadership skills needed to lead and growth the Chicago complex."

This publication reported a few weeks ago that RBC Wealth Management appointed Kevin Roberts as a financial advisor in Houston, joining the firm from Morgan Stanley.
