US advisory firm Kingfisher Capital has promoted Chad Frk to director, after nearly two years at the Charlotte, NC-based firm.

Previously, Frk held similar roles with JPMorgan Chase & Co and Northern Trust. Most recently, at JP Morgan, he covered high net worth business owners in the greater Chicago, IL, area and educated existing clients, while also monitoring managed portfolios.

In his expanded role, Frk will work with individual and family accounts in delivering the firm's integrated wealth management capabilities.

In addition, Kingfisher Capital has hired Kevin Pollard, who serves as the firm's head trader and oversees its portfolio administration. Pollard joined the firm from Bank of America where he managed Columbia Management's separate account management platform.

Kingfisher Capital works with private clients, advisors, consultants and other institutional clients, providing investment and wealth management services.
