Two former Credit Suisse employees have left the company to form their own independent advisory firm called Point Bridge Capital.

With offices in both Dallas and Fort Worth, TX, Point Bridge Capital is headed by chief executive Hal Lambert, while Jeff Wildin is managing director of the Dallas office.

Point Bridge Capital said in a statement that it had partnered with Dynasty Financial Partners to use its investment platform and that it would also be using Pershing Advisor Solutions for its clearing and custody services.

Prior to founding Point Bridge Capital, Lambert advised and managed assets for ultra high net worth and institutional clients at Credit Suisse. Before this, he headed discretionary investment management for the Southwest region of JP Morgan and also served several years on the US private bank investment team.

Wildin began his career at Trust Bank and joined JP Morgan in 1999, helping to establish offices in Texas, Denver, and Scottsdale, AZ. In 2005, Wildin returned to Dallas and joined Credit Suisse, where he has been advising high net worth and institutional clients for the past eight years.
