Why advisor recruiting hit a 4-year high in 2025
Bartoli Private Wealth is led by the brothers Stephen Bartoli, David Bartoli and Patrick Bartoli — all private wealth financial advisors — along with private wealth financial advisors Craig McLean and William Duval. Joining them at Wells Fargo are three support staff members.
The Bartoli brothers started their careers at Morgan Stanley: 1999 for Stephen, 2000 for David and 2013 for Patrick. McLean began at Lehman Brothers in 1983, moved to Smith Barney in 1993 and then Morgan Stanley in 2009. Duval started at Morgan Stanley in 2025.
Bartoli Private Wealth’s move follows two other large recruiting deals for Wells Fargo this month, in which Wells added wThe Taylor Group, a 19-person team that had managed roughly $6 billion at Morgan Stanley in New York, and AGT Private Wealth Group, a 14-person team that had managed roughly roughly $1.6 billion at UBS in Frisco, Texas.
