The Pitti Group Wealth Management

What The Pitti Group Wealth Management does

The Pitti Group Wealth Management is an independent Registered Investment Advisor founded in 2016 by Salvatore Pitti and his son Matthew Pitti after departing Morgan Stanley, operating from a headquarters in Victor, NY and a secondary office in Bonita Springs, FL. The firm delivers fiduciary-standard wealth management services — including retirement planning, investment planning, 401(k)/403(b) plan advisory, risk management, estate planning strategies, education funding, tax management, employee and executive benefits, and divorce financial planning — to educators, healthcare and higher-education employees, business owners with qualified retirement plans, retirees, and affluent and high-net-worth individuals across the Rochester, NY region and nationally. A three-generation Pitti family leadership team (Sal as President, Matt as Senior Vice President, Anthony as Vice President) is supported by dedicated wealth advisors, client service associates, and a compliance consultant.

The firm's operational technology stack is composed of third-party institutional tools rather than proprietary platforms: Morningstar research, fi360 investment scoring, CalcXML and FINRA financial calculators, Wells Fargo Clearing Services for custody and account access, and buffered exchange-traded funds used for downside-protection strategies. Portfolio management is delivered through a model-based approach spanning fixed income, U.S. large/medium/small cap, international, emerging markets, real estate, and commodities allocations, supported by quarterly research inputs from Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, First Trust, and American Funds. Digital client-facing tools include a 401(k) Analysis Tool for plan sponsors, a Financial Calculators Library, and The Finance Things in Life educational podcast distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

The business operates on a fee-based advisory model with annual billing and pricing determined per engagement rather than published publicly; secondary professional-services revenue is generated through 401(k)/403(b) plan advisory work for businesses and non-profits. Client acquisition is driven by referrals, community involvement in regional organizations (Ontario County Chamber of Commerce, Ontario County United Way, FLCC Foundation, Thompson Health Foundation, ARC of Ontario County), and content marketing through the podcast, blog, and webinars. The firm manages portfolios for over 500 clients, employs 7 people, and is family-controlled with no external institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Edward Jones: Large incumbent wealth-management franchise with a similarly advisor-led, relationship-driven model serving individual investors and retirees across the U.S. — directly comparable in target client and service mix, but vastly larger in scale and branch footprint.
• Schwab Wealth Advisory: Schwab's fee-based advisory service for individuals and retirement savers — comparable in serving retirement-plan participants and individual investors, but at vastly greater scale and with a hybrid digital/advisor model that pressures incumbent advisor fees.
• Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management: Wirehouse-affiliated wealth advisory serving affluent and HNW individuals and business owners with comprehensive planning — competing for the same affluent/Rochester-region segment from a much larger institutional platform with significantly deeper resources.
• Vanguard Personal Advisor: Low-cost hybrid robo-advisor serving retirement savers and individual investors with comprehensive financial planning — competes for the same retail affluent and retirement segments with significantly lower fees, exerting fee-compression pressure on advisory peers like Pitti.

Direct peers

• Fisher Investments: Independent RIA providing discretionary portfolio management and wealth planning for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients — comparable fiduciary-independent positioning with a stronger emphasis on direct-marketed HNW asset gathering.
• Hightower Advisors: Independent RIA partnership platform serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners with retirement, investment, and 401(k) advisory services — highly comparable fiduciary advisory model, with a corporate partnership structure Pitti could pursue to scale.
• Mariner Wealth Advisors: Independent RIA providing comprehensive wealth management including retirement planning, estate, tax, and 401(k) advisory for individuals and business owners — comparable in fiduciary positioning and service breadth, but operating at significantly larger scale with a partnership acquisition model.
• Creative Planning: Large independent RIA offering retirement, investment, tax, and estate planning for individuals and families nationwide — comparable in service breadth and RIA fiduciary posture, though at much greater scale and with a broader geographic presence.
• Carson Group: RIA serving individuals and small-business retirement plans through partner advisors, with emphasis on holistic financial planning and 401(k) advisory — directly comparable practice model and target segments, structured as a corporate RIA partnership platform.

Others

• Focus Financial Partners: Partnership platform for independent RIAs, providing capital, technology, and operational support — not a direct competitor but a potential roll-up acquirer or partner for boutique RIAs like Pitti seeking to scale while preserving independence.
