Evercore Wealth Management has appointed Tom Trenchard as vice president and financial advisor, based in New York.

Before joining Evercore, Trenchard was a lead advisor at US Trust in the firm's local business development department.

Evercore Wealth Management, a unit of Evercore, serves high net worth individuals, families and related institutions.

In August, the firm expanded its national wealth advisory service with the appointment of Jewelle Bickford as partner and wealth advisor.

As this publication reported earlier this month, operating income at the firm's investment management division dropped substantially in the third quarter of 2013.
