James Baga

For fifteen years, some of New England's best-known hospitals and universities relied on Jim Baga as their on-site Fidelity representative, among them Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women's, Northeastern, and Bowdoin. Organizations that watch their money that closely do not keep a representative around without good reason, and that reputation came with him when he joined Essex Private Wealth Management. Across more than three decades, he has advised individual investors and nonprofit organizations alike. He and his wife, Nora, are raising two sons in Merrimac, Massachusetts.
