WELLESLEY, Mass., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GW & Wade, LLC, an independently managed financial advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Debra Brede, founder of D.K. Brede Investment Management Company has joined the firm. In making this move, Debra will also be joined by her nine-person team.
"Debra and her talented team have created a highly-regarded client offering that closely aligns with the work we have been doing at GW & Wade since our firm's inception," says Tim Pinch, Principal of GW & Wade. "We are excited to bring on such a skilled team that will only expand our ability to continue to provide the level of service our clients deserve."
Debra's early experience in the brokerage business gave her the impression that many firms were more focused on their own sales goals rather than on the needs of their clients. Debra was determined to change that, and in 1990 she founded D.K. Brede Investment Management Company, Inc. to give her clients the care and attention they deserved. Debra has been named a Barron's Hall of Fame Financial Advisor and has received numerous awards from Financial Times and Forbes, among others. Roger Wade, Principal and Co-Founder of GW & Wade says, "Debra and her team are extremely well regarded in our space, and we look forward to working with, and learning from, one another moving forward."
"I'm very excited for the next chapter and my team's opportunities with the firm," Debra says. "This move was a perfect strategic fit, as it will allow our team to leverage GW & Wade's investment management platform and their focus on tax, financial, and retirement planning for sophisticated investors."
At GW & Wade, Debra will continue the client-first approach to wealth management that has earned her numerous industry awards while working to expand the firm's reach in Massachusetts and the Northeast region.
