James Fisk, ex-director of fixed income at Newbridge Securities, has joined SecureVest Financial Group as senior vice-president. He joined the firm in mid-September at its Boca Raton, Florida office.

SecureVest is a full-service broker-dealer with operations in New Jersey, Florida and California catering to both retail and institutional accounts with a focus on fixed income securities and a range of certificates of deposit (CDs).

Fisk, who will report directly to Bob Pedretti, president of SecureVest, will be responsible for providing new issue and secondary structured products to the firm’s network of financial advisers.

“I will be working with issuers and traders of structured products to onboard SecureVest as an approved distributor of their products,” said Fisk.

Fisk joins from Newbridge Securities, where he was the director of fixed income from 2006. Prior to that, he worked at Westcap Securities, Dean Witter, GMS, and Suncoast Capital Group. In 2001, he was one of the founders of JVB Financial Group.
