Insights

Raymond James FID wins a $261 million advisory program transfer, expanding its advisor network and client assets.

Raymond James will receive advisory business from Patton Wealth Management, led by Brian Patton, as First National Bank of Sparta aligns PWM to deliver wealth services through Raymond James Financial Services. The program represents approximately 261 million in client assets and keeps PWM's team intact, including Pam Burns and Becky Ohms. The move formalizes PWM's transition from Commonwealth Financial Network and preserves its boutique client relationship model.

The transaction depends on successful integration into the Financial Institutions Division's advisor-focused service model, technology platform and operational processes. Key execution risks include platform migration, client consent or paperwork frictions, and preserving existing client relationships during the transition. The announcement cites cultural fit and expanded capabilities for high-net-worth and business owner clients as drivers but provides no performance guarantees.

Watch for client transfer completion milestones and any public reporting of retained asset levels or new business sourced after the alignment in the next 3–12 months. Monitor updates on operational integration, advisor continuity and whether the relationship materially increases managed assets or product offering scope beyond current levels.

St. Petersburg, Fla., Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raymond James (NYSE: RJF) announced today that the First National Bank of Sparta (FNBS) has selected its Financial Institutions Division (FID) to support the bank’s investment program, Patton Wealth Management (PWM), according to Stephen Kruchten, president of FID.

Based in Sparta, Illinois, PWM is led by financial advisor Brian Patton, who manages approximately $261 million in client assets. He is supported by branch professionals Pam Burns and Becky Ohms and was previously affiliated with Commonwealth Financial Network.

“FNBS and PWM have consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to delivering trusted advice and meeting the financial needs of clients across southern Illinois and neighboring communities,” said Jon DeMayo, vice president of business development at FID. “We are eager to support their continued growth with the advisor-focused service model, full suite of resources and advanced technology platform that distinguish Raymond James FID.”

Patton brings more than three decades of experience in the financial services industry, beginning his career at The Heitner Corporation before becoming an advisor with Investment Centers of America, Inc. He founded PWM in 2017 and holds a bachelor’s degree in business from Eastern Illinois University.

“Our decision to transition our investment program to Raymond James was guided by cultural alignment and a shared commitment to client-first values,” said David Sternberg, president of FNBS. “As we evaluated our options, we found that FID offered the best long-term fit for our team and clients – providing the independence, advisor-focused service model and robust platform needed to support continued growth.
