Frank DiBartolo

Senior Financial Advisor
Senior Vice President - Investment Officer

Background and experience

Frank has been in the financial services industry for his entire career. He became a financial advisor because he wanted to take his personal and professional experience to help individuals and families navigate financial decisions through financial education and investment planning. His approach is methodical and tactical, first compiling as much information about a client to get the full scope of their needs. He then develops strategies and offers solutions based on a client's needs and circumstances. He’s passionate about developing deep and long-lasting relationships with clients and helping ensure their financial success transitions to their personal happiness.
 
Starting his career on a bond trading floor at a Wall Street firm, he gained extensive market knowledge in fixed income securities. With his background rooted in client relationships and asset management, his transition to the financial advisory field was a natural fit. He has experienced various market conditions throughout his 18-year career and has honed his investment acumen servicing large insurance companies, money managers, hedge funds, pension funds, and banks.

Frank worked at Wells Fargo Securities before moving over to Wells Fargo Advisors. His skill set and experience gained in these roles have given him a view and perspective on financial markets. He takes a comprehensive approach to planning and examines every element of a client’s financial life.

Away from the office

Frank has an affinity for outdoors, camping, hiking, skiing, and cooking. Prior to graduating with his Finance degree from Manhattan College he worked as a chef in several restaurants. In 2021 he was married to Megan, a native of Winston-Salem, NC. They reside in the SouthPark area of Charlotte with their son Riggins.
