Two are coming back to Mother Merrill, having worked there in the 1990s.

The advisory group decided that operating as an RIA was a better option.

Lincoln Investment will gain 350 advisers in its acquisition, which CEO Ed Forst foresaw 20 years ago.

The executive was previously named one of On Wall Street's top 100 branch managers.

The elite firm’s latest recruit is an industry veteran and former Desert Storm Marine.

One of the recruits began his career in the late 1980s.

The boutique firm focuses on ultrahigh-net-worth entrepreneurs worldwide.

Alexander Assaf will oversee financial advisers and their teams for the credit union's Addison Avenue Investment Services division throughout Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

The recruit also previously worked for Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and RBC.
