Tampa financial firm adding staff, expanding space as it mulls a move

Wealth Warden Partners is planning to grow and is adding office space to accommodate its expansion.

The Tampa investment management firm announced Thursday it is hiring 30 new employees over the next five years. Among the positions it is looking to add are a chief investment officer, portfolio managers, analysts and economists.

To make room for the additions, the firm says it has negotiated to expand to an additional larger office and take over the entire floor for the next year at its current space — 633 N. Franklin St.
