Raymond James recently welcomed financial advisors Hugo Porro and Manuel Porro to Raymond James & Associates (RJA) – the firm’s employee advisor channel – according to Gregg Stupinski, South Atlantic regional director for RJA.

The sibling duo arrives from Morgan Stanley, where they managed approximately $150 million in client assets. As Porro Financial Group of Raymond James, based in Hallandale Beach, Florida, they operate as part of RJA’s Aventura Branch, led by Branch Manager Ed Kleinman, and provide holistic financial planning and guidance to a variety of clients including business owners, family offices and clients in or nearing retirement.

“Serving families with a people-first approach is central to our team and is a value Manuel and I embody from our Bolivian roots,” said Hugo. “Raymond James offers steady leadership and resources that help us build lasting client relationships and deliver impactful guidance.”

Hugo earned his bachelor’s degree in economics and finance in addition to an MBA from Georgia Southern University. His financial services industry experience began at Chase Bank in 2008, and he has over 14 years of advisory experience.

“Hugo and I are twin brothers who have had similar career paths at major financial institutions,” said Manuel. “Through thoughtful due diligence, we chose Raymond James as our home for what we believe are the most important years of our careers.”

Manuel also began his career at Chase Bank in 2008, transitioning into wealth management in 2011. His experience is backed by a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance alongside an MBA from Georgia Southern University.
