“Fiduciary Trust International delivers a wide-ranging suite of investment, planning, and complementary services designed specifically for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, foundations, and endowments,” said Lawrence A. Sternkopf, president and chief operating officer of Fiduciary Trust International. “Paul’s deep experience developing solutions—encompassing everything from investment strategy development, integrated planning and administration, and governance to tax management—for families and non-profit organizations positions him well to ensure we continue to meet the complex needs of our clients as they evolve.”

Fiduciary Trust International was established 90 years ago by families for families, combining the personalized service of a boutique wealth manager with the extensive resources that come with being part of a leading global investment firm. The organization’s advisors deliver wealth planning, investment management, trust, estate, and family office services as part of a holistic offering, enabling them to understand the complete financial picture of a family or institution from a multi-generational perspective.

“For nine decades, we have focused on helping families and other clients optimize their financial picture throughout all market conditions,” said John M. Dowd, chief executive officer of Fiduciary Trust International. “With multiple factors weighing on investors’ minds in the wake of the pandemic, we will continue expanding our teams and services to help our clients plan ahead and achieve financial peace of mind.”

Mr. Cummings joins Fiduciary Trust International from Abbot Downing, a business of Wells Fargo, where he served as regional managing director for the Northeast, and was responsible for relationship management, client service, risk management, and team member development. While at Abbot Downing, he was a member of the operating, management, pricing, and investment committees governing the national business.

Prior to Abbot Downing, Mr. Cummings was a managing director at Merrill Lynch, where he held many senior leadership positions, and led the business formed to serve foundations, endowments, and middle-market pension plans following the acquisition of U.S. Trust. He also oversaw the outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) business for both U.S. Trust and Merrill Lynch. Earlier in his career, Mr. Cummings worked for Bank of New York, where he was part of the team that created the BNY Hamilton Funds (domestic and international mutual funds) and BNY Partners Funds (private equity and hedge fund of funds), and led the advisor wealth services division.

“Fiduciary Trust International was founded as a multi-family office, so an appreciation of the importance of growing and protecting wealth from generation to generation is woven into the fabric of this organization,” said Mr. Cummings. “Being a fiduciary isn’t just part of Fiduciary Trust International’s name—being a fiduciary is in its DNA. I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue helping families, foundations, and endowments achieve their long-term goals through personalized service and solutions.”

Mr. Cummings graduated from St. Lawrence University with a bachelor of arts in history, and completed accounting and strategy courses in the MBA program at St. John’s University. He has also received his certification in trust investment management from the New York Bankers Association, and serves on the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s board of councilors.
