CHICAGO, IL – FEBRUARY 17, 2016 – Ziegler, a privately held full-service brokerage firm, today announced it has hired Joseph H. Murphy as a vice president and financial advisor in its Madison, WI branch office.

Mr. Murphy brings nearly 23 years of wealth management experience to Ziegler, having previously served as a vice president, financial advisor and Accredited Wealth Manager at RBC Wealth Management. Robert Moats, Senior Managing Director and Head of Ziegler Wealth Management stated, “We are excited about the continued growth of our Madison office. The addition of a highly experienced advisor like Joe, represents a solid addition to our talented team of advisors.”

Mr. Murphy stated, “My goal is to empower my clients to live life to its fullest. I am committed to client-focused service, while using Ziegler’s comprehensive resources to provide the objective advice each client deserves.” Murphy continued, “What sets Ziegler apart from other firms is it’s offering of full-service investments as well as its own proprietary underwritten bond issues, all while providing a responsive, personal approach. This combination helps me differentiate myself in the marketplace.”

Ziegler is actively executing on its growth strategy and is looking to add advisors in its Madison office. “We are the best of both the independent and wirehouse worlds,” stated Moats. “Like a wirehouse, we have a full support structure so advisors can focus on their clients and business. Yet, we have a culture to develop your business like an independent firm. Here at Ziegler, our advisors determine the right approach and focus for their businesses.”

Understanding that each client is unique, Joe practices a tailored consulting process focused on three stages in life: Your accumulation of wealth, the preservation of your wealth and the transfer of your wealth for the benefit of future generations. A resident of Madison, Joe actively volunteers at his church, where he is a trustee of their endowment foundation and a member of the investment committee. He has enjoyed involvement in numerous community activities including coaching his children in their many sporting activities over the years. Ziegler’s Madison office is located at 8215 Greenway Blvd., Suite 200 in Middleton. The general office phone number is 608-828-3660 and toll-free number is 800-545-1536.
