Wright, a 20-year veteran of the financial-service industry, joins Wall Street Access from Portsmouth, N.H.-based mutual fund firm Pax World Management where he was head of regional sales.

At Wall Street Access, Wright will lead business development for its wealth-management group, its Advanced Strategies fund of hedge funds, and its separately managed account products.

"I look forward to working with the Wall Street Access team," says Wright. "My decision to join the firm was strongly influenced not only by the potential I see in the firm's wealth-management offerings, but also by the synergies between the capabilities of the leadership team and my own experience."
