About Vito
Vito Gioiello is a Managing Director and Wealth Partner at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management.
As a co-founder of FGF Partners, Vito works closely with successful individuals and families, helping them deploy and transfer their wealth more effectively. Drawing on more than 40 years of experience, he offers the wisdom he has gained over multiple market cycles, helping clients enact a disciplined investment strategy grounded in a long-term perspective. To each relationship, Vito brings a genuine interest in each person or family, walking with them through key crossroads in their lives and wealth. He shares that he is "endlessly fascinated" by people and the investment markets, a combination that yields a highly customized approach to address the needs and interests of each client.
People from varied paths seek Vito's assistance. Many are business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals. Others have undergone significant transitions in their lives, such as the death of a loved one, a divorce or an inheritance. Whatever a client's background, Vito offers an ingrained work ethic and the one-on-one attention to support people's priorities and aspirations. As a fiduciary, he is obligated to put clients' interests ahead of his own—a standard that he welcomes: "I look to treat clients as if they were my own mother, sister, or cousin," he shares, a perspective that has resulted in enduring relationships that often span decades.
Prior to moving to J.P. Morgan Wealth Management with his team in 2023, Vito spent more than 15 years with First Republic Investment Management, where he was a Managing Director and Wealth Manager.
