Joseph Hubbell has joined Snowden Lane Partners from Merrill Lynch and has been appointed Partner and Managing Director in its New York City headquarters. Hubbell is merging his USD100 million practice with Snowden Lane’s Clinton-Pedrena Group, composed of Partners and Managing Directors, Jesse Clinton and Phil Pedrena, to form the Veritas Private Wealth Group, an advisor team of four professionals that will serve more than USD370 million in client assets.
Hubbell has over 30 years of industry experience. Prior to joining Snowden Lane, he was a financial advisor and a branch manager and also held positions at Smith Barney, UBS and JPMorgan. He is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Board of Arbitrators, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Investment Committee of Catholic Charities. In addition, he is a committee chair at the New York Athletic Club and is a member of the Harbor Control Commission in his hometown of Lloyd Harbor, NY. He is a graduate of Fordham University.
Hubbell says: “Snowden Lane’s commitment to its clients and its thriving network of top-notch financial advisory talent are what drew me to the firm and it’s my privilege to now be a part of the future successes of the new Veritas Private Wealth Group. I look forward to doing great things together for the benefit of our clients.”
Clinton says: “Joe is an essential addition to our growing team. He brings with him an understanding of the industry that comes with decades of experience, and that will make him an indispensable asset.”
Greg Franks, a Managing Partner and President of Snowden Lane, says: “This isn’t just a big win for Snowden Lane, it’s also a testament to the promise of our independent advisory model. Talent is a precious commodity in this business and this firm continues to attract it for all the right reasons.”
