The Bluestein Group has joined Bailey & Quinn Financial Consulting Group’s private wealth management channel as employees of parent company Wedbush Securities, a financial services company headquartered in Los Angeles.

The Bluestein Group team includes financial advisor Mark Bluestein, serving as managing director of investments, and registered client services associate Michelle Messere. Bluestein and Messere will report to Northeast Regional Executive Frank Story, according to a news release announcing the hire.

Both Bluestein and Messere are industry veterans with 54 years of combined experience, and both join Bailey & Quinn from Wells Fargo Advisors, where Bluestein was a managing director of investments overseeing more than $180 million in client assets, and Messere was a financial advisor.

The addition of the Bluestein Group further expands Wedbush’s footprint in the Philadelphia suburb of Radnor, Pa., the headquarters of Bailey & Quinn, which it acquired in September, and solidifies its presence on the East Coast.
