Broker-dealer Waddell & Reed has recruited six new financial advisors, for a total $141.4 million in new assets under management.
The new arrivals -- who will all be working as independent advisors -- come from Morgan Stanley, LPL, Ameriprise and other broker-dealers. So far this year, 52% of the firm's recruits have come from wirehouses and regionals, says Cathie Suchecki, Waddell & Reeds senior vice president and director of recruiting, while, 32% have come from independents, and 16% from banks and insurance firms.
While across the industry recruiting results have been slow for the first part of the year, we believe our results are in line with our long-term goals, Suchecki says.
These latest recruits will work in registered offices across the country. The new advisors, listed with their assets under management before the move, are:
- Carole Lane of Costa Mesa, Calif., formerly with MassMutual. (AUM: $23 million)
