New York boutique Fogel Neale Partners has recruited three financial pros. The wealth manager says it attracted the trio by offering partnership status and equity-share potential for what it calls proven producers.

Henry Gotlob comes on board as head of sales and recruiting. He was most recently Eastern Divisional Sales Officer for Citigroup Smith Barney. Harry Peden IV joins as private wealth advisor as part of Fogel Neale's insurance and estate planning group.  Previously he was a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley in Greenwich. Robert Gropper, an investment consultant, was hired from Republic National Bank where he spent 14 years as a portfolio manager.

Fogel Neale appears to be in hiring mode. Just last month the firm hired Denise Otten from Morgan Stanley as senior vice president of wealth management for the New Jersey region.
