Tom Griffin brings over five decades of experience in retail and institutional investment management to his role as Senior Portfolio Manager at SlateStone Wealth. Tom’s extensive background in stock selection with an emphasis on financials brings added value as he serves the firm’s Investment Policy Committee and custom equity research team.

Prior to joining SlateStone and over a 14-year period, Tom was with Wells Fargo Advisors as First Vice President creating bespoke investment portfolios to meet client’s personalized objectives. He also previously held the role of Vice President, Sales at UBS working with private clients. His 13 year tenure at Coburn & Meredith included responsibility for investment banking, market making, and as Options Principal and Compliance Officer.
