The trio operate as The Massimi
Group, offering securities through Raymond James Financial
Services, Raymond
James’s independent broker/dealer.
The group joined from Morgan
Stanley, where they managed more than $154 million in client
assets and had
annual fees and commissions of over $1.7 million. As a team they
focus on financial planning and, in particular, helping to
provide clients
with income in retirement. They serve individuals and families
in
the Greater New York area as well as in other parts of the US.
A 30-year veteran of the
industry, Massimi began his financial services career in 1983
with the Jericho,
NY, firm of McLaughlin, Piven & Vogel. He then moved to Shearson
Lehman
Brothers and in 1988 joined Robert Thomas Securities (an
independent
broker/dealer subsidiary of Raymond James). In 1994, he joined
UBS in White Plains, NY, and 13 years later
moved to Morgan Stanley in Purchase, NY.
Silverman began his financial
services career in 2003 with UBS, where he began his association
with Massimi
and together they moved to Morgan Stanley in 2007. Bruno began
his financial
services career in 2011 with Morgan Stanley in Purchase.
