LaVigne Takes Over Distro For a $16B-AUMA AM, And ...

A trio of asset management sales veterans are on the rise at a $16-billion-AUMA, multi-boutique mutual fund firm in the DMV.

Kimberly Ann LaVigne
F/m Investments, LLC
Head of Distribution

Last week, David Littleton, president of F/m Investments [profile], and Alex Morris, CEO, confirmed the recent promotions of Kimberly LaVigne, Matt Boyce, and Rob Wolanski. Wolanski, based in the New York City area, now serves as the Washington, D.C.-based asset manager's head of institutional sales. Chicago-based Boyce now serves as managing director and head of advisory sales. And Burlington, Vermont-based LaVigne now serves in the newly created role of head of distribution.

"Kimberly is a talented leader who can accelerate F/m's already solid growth and help bring our innovative solutions to an even broader base of advisors and investors," Littleton states.

"F/m has earned a reputation for delivering innovative and impactful solutions, and I'm excited to work with our talented team to expand our reach and deepen our client relationships," LaVigne states.

Morris puts the three appointments in the context of F/m's "broader strategic vision for 2025."

"As we enter 2025, F/m remains focused on enhancing accessibility, delivering impactful solutions, and positioning our team to thrive in an evolving financial landscape," Morris states.

LaVigne previously served as senior vice president and director of national accounts at F/m, and the F/m team confirms that she will continue to spearhead their national accounts efforts. Boyce previously served as managing director for F/m's western division.

Wolanski joined F/m late in 2024 after six years with Macquarie and Ivy (which Macquarie acquired). Earlier, he held sales leadership roles with Sentinel Investments and Legg Mason. He is an alumnus of Hofstra University.

Boyce joined F/m in 2021 after five years with Ziegler Capital Management (which later merged with F/m), where he served as director of sales and marketing. Earlier, he worked in business development leadership roles at Smith Group Asset Management and Congress Asset Management. He attended Assumption University.

LaVigne (nee Hough) joined F/m in 2020 after serving as director of national accounts at Gerstein Fisher. Like Wolanski, LaVigne is a Sentinel alumna; she spent more than 15 years there and served as VP of national accounts. She is an alumna of Lyndon College.
