Delaware-based Wilmington Trust, part of M&T bank, has appointed Matthew Canner as a senior private client advisor at its family wealth business.

Canner will be based in Wilmington, DE and serve clients nationally, reporting to William LaFond, managing director of business development for the firm's family wealth group. He joins from Knight Capital Group, where he was a director of institutional sales.

This is the second senior hire Wilmington has announced at its family wealth business in recent weeks, as part of a strategy to build out the offering. The firm also brought in Thomas Rogerson as a senior managing director and family wealth strategist in September. Rogerson is well known in the family dynamics space, having joined Wilmington from BNY Mellon, where he worked for around 10 years.

Wilmington Trust's family wealth division offers personal trust, financial planning, fiduciary, asset management, and family office services provided through offices in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, the Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands, London, Dublin, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, and Amsterdam.
