PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fragasso Financial Advisors, Inc., a Pittsburgh-based registered investment advisory firm with $2.8 billion in assets under management, today announced it has changed its name to Fragasso Wealth Advisors, accompanied by a new visual identity and website.
The new name reflects the continued evolution of a firm that has called Pittsburgh home since Robert Fragasso founded it in 1972. It also marks the next chapter for an independent, employee-owned firm that has chosen to grow while maintaining local ownership and control of its future.
The distinction comes at a time of significant consolidation across the wealth management industry. RIA merger and acquisition activity reached record levels during the first half of 2026, as firms increasingly pursue acquisitions, outside capital and strategic partnerships to achieve scale, expand capabilities, and address succession.
Fragasso has taken a different path. Through its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), the firm is majority-owned by its employees, providing a long-term ownership and succession structure while allowing Fragasso to remain independent and headquartered in Pittsburgh.
“My father founded this firm more than 50 years ago with a commitment to putting relationships and sound advice at the center of every client experience,” said Christine Robinette, CEO of Fragasso Wealth Advisors. “After spending two decades serving clients myself and now having the privilege of leading the firm he founded, I see this next chapter as both a continuation of that legacy and an investment in our future. Our independence and employee ownership have allowed us to plan for leadership succession, invest in our capabilities and people, and grow while keeping the future of Fragasso in the hands of those who know our clients and our culture best.”
Independent by Design. Built for Greater Complexity.
As Fragasso has grown, so has the complexity of the financial lives it is entrusted to help manage. The firm has expanded its capabilities to serve high-net-worth individuals and families through a comprehensive approach that connects financial planning, investment management, and specialized expertise.
Clients work with dedicated relationship teams supported by professionals across the firm. Fragasso’s collaborative structure brings multiple perspectives to client strategies, while its in-house investment research and portfolio management capabilities help coordinate investment decisions with each client’s broader financial plan.
Remaining independent allows the firm to continue developing those capabilities around its clients and its own approach to wealth management.
In addition to high-net-worth individuals and families, Fragasso Wealth Advisors provides planning and advisory services to business owners, corporate retirement plans, and nonprofit organizations.
A New Name. The Same Independent Foundation.
Founded in Pittsburgh in 1972, Fragasso has grown into an independent wealth management firm overseeing $2.8 billion in client assets. Its employee-owned structure gives employees a shared stake in the firm’s long-term success and reinforces a culture centered on collaboration, continuity, and the client experience.
The transition to Fragasso Wealth Advisors includes a redesigned logo, updated color palette, and new website at www.fragassoadvisors.com, created to better represent both the depth of the firm’s capabilities and the personal, relationship-driven experience that has remained central throughout its history.
“This is an incredibly proud moment because our new name and brand signify an important milestone in our firm’s evolution and what we’ve accomplished together,” said Marsha Posset, Chief Marketing Officer of Fragasso Wealth Advisors. “For nearly a decade, I’ve had the opportunity to participate in that evolution as we’ve expanded our capabilities and increasingly served clients with more complex wealth needs. Every employee has played a role in getting us here. Fragasso Wealth Advisors gives us a name and identity that more fully reflect the firm our people have been building together for years.”
