One Year Anniversary and opening of Westport, CT office

NEW YORK, NY (July 20, 2018) – Brenton Point Wealth Advisors LLC (“Brenton Point”), an independent SEC registered investment advisory firm affiliated with investment manager, Zweig-DiMenna, today announced the expansion of its wealth advisory team with the addition of Larry Rollins, who will lead their new Westport, Connecticut office as Private Wealth Advisor.

Mr. Rollins joins Brenton Point from Fidelity Investments where he most recently served as a Vice President and Financial Consultant in their Greenwich, CT Private Client Group.

Larry is joined by Lisa Cassidy, who has over 25 years of financial services experience and will serve as a Senior Client Manager at Brenton Point.

“We are excited to welcome Larry and Lisa to our team. As we continue to expand the firm’s reach, we are pleased that successful advisors have recognized the potential of our firm’s unique model and want to participate in the firm’s growth” said Paul Michalowski, Co-President and COO of Brenton Point.

Over the past twelve months, Brenton Point has established itself in the wealth management space by combining the knowledge of institutional investment professionals with experienced senior wealth advisors. Brenton Point’s mission is to provide private investors, families, endowments and foundations with consistent, ongoing access to data and advice traditionally reserved for the institutional investment community.

Brenton Point’s custom advice and investment solutions are guided by the firm’s proprietary macroeconomic research process, led by Michael Schaus, Director of Market Research for both Brenton Point and Zweig-DiMenna, an investment management firm with a 34-year legacy. Joseph DiMenna, Founder and Head Portfolio Manager of Zweig-DiMenna, views Brenton Point as a timely strategic venture that builds upon the firm’s research focus and market experience.
