Symmetry Partners, LLC, a $2.5 billion SEC Registered Investment Advisor, has announced that Robin P. Sweeny, formerly the National Institutional Sales Manager for the Municipal Securities Group of UBS, has joined the Symmetry staff as Senior Vice President for Business Development. Sweeny spent most of her 30-year career on Wall Street working in the municipal bond department at PaineWebber, which was acquired by UBS in 2001. During her tenure, Sweeny rose through the ranks to take on a number of leadership roles, ultimately serving for 15 years as National Institutional Sales Manager for all municipals, a position she retained after PaineWebber was acquired. Sweeny earned the distinction of being the longest-serving sales manager for a municipal division at any of the major wirehouses. Sweeny began her career as an assistant on the trading desk at Jesup & Lamont. Within a year she was made head trader. Sweeny joined PaineWebber in 1977 as a trader on the municipal bond desk. Prior to serving as National Institutional Sales Manager, Sweeny held positions as Director of Retail Marketing for Municipal Securities, National Institutional Sales Coordinator, and Managing Director of the Municipal Securities Group. When she left UBS in 2005, the firm was the top ranking municipal bond franchise on Wall Street. "I'm thrilled to be able to apply my experience to a young, vibrant company with such terrific prospects," Sweeny said. Sweeny was lured out of retirement by her brother, Patrick Sweeny, a Principal at Symmetry, which was just named the 2005 fastest-growing RIA in the nation by Financial Advisor magazine. Symmetry employs a passive approach to portfolio management, utilizing broad diversification across asset classes and increased exposure to small cap and value stocks to create structured investment portfolios. "Symmetry has experienced some very rapid growth within the last few years and we wanted to have someone on the team with depth of experience in both the industry and in management to help develop our business and build out our team," Patrick Sweeny said. "We are exceptionally fortunate to have a professional of Robin's caliber join the firm. Her management experience should prove invaluable," said David Connelly, Principal of Symmetry Partners. "Robin will play a vital role in helping to formulate our vision and implement our strategic plan." Symmetry Partners, LLC is a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Symmetry manages or subadvises for more than $2.5 billion (as of September 2006), providing investment advisory services to high net worth individuals and qualified plans, including 401(k), money purchase, profit sharing and institutional pension plans. Financial Advisor magazine named Symmetry the fastest growing RIA in the nation based on 2005 asset growth.
