Ryan Locanto, MBA

Building and preserving wealth requires more than investment management. I believe it requires a trusted advisor who understands your goals, anticipates challenges, and helps you make informed decisions throughout every stage of life.
As a Managing Director - Investments with Wells Fargo Advisors, I work with successful individuals, families, retirees, business owners, and trustees to develop personalized strategies designed to help them grow, protect, and transfer wealth with confidence.
My approach begins with understanding what matters most to each client. Whether planning for retirement, navigating a major liquidity event, managing concentrated stock positions, creating sustainable income, or addressing estate and legacy objectives, I help clients make informed decisions with a long-term perspective.
I believe wealth management should be comprehensive and proactive. That's why I coordinate investment management with retirement planning, tax-efficient strategies, trust and estate considerations, risk management, and access to liability management solutions through Wells Fargo affiliates when appropriate. By integrating these areas, I help clients gain a clearer picture of their financial lives and greater confidence in their future.
Clients appreciate my commitment to communication, responsiveness, and personalized service. Markets change, life circumstances evolve, and wealth plans should adapt accordingly. My goal is to serve as a trusted resource who provides thoughtful guidance through both opportunities and uncertainty.
I earned my MBA and have dedicated my career to helping clients simplify financial complexity and make confident financial decisions. Backed by the extensive resources and research capabilities of Wells Fargo Advisors, I strive to deliver customized strategies and solutions aligned with each client's unique objectives.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two young children, Alexander and Isabella. Family plays a central role in my life and reinforces the importance of thoughtful planning, long-term perspective, and creating a lasting legacy for future generations. *Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
