"Fred has a deep knowledge of the needs of affluent investors and independent advisory firms in the Chicago area, who offer a broad array of specialized areas such as retirement, estate planning needs and tax considerations," said Schwab Advisor Networks senior vice president, Edie Heilman.
Petrino has been with Schwab for 15 years, most recently serving as vice president of that advisor network. He has also worked at Schwab Institutional in high-level positions out of both Southern California and Chicago.
