CEO Walt Bettinger says advisors tell him they aren’t worried about the new pricing model.

An advisor was terminated after accepting money from a brother, who was also a client. Is such a loan allowed?

The switch is the latest in a series of billion-dollar moves so far this year.

The 11-person team, which was assisted by Dynasty Financial Partners, was attracted by the raft of technology options in the independent space.

The discussions, which have since been abandoned, centered on a REIT with a market value of $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.

When financial emergencies compel early withdrawals from clients' retirement accounts, they face income tax and often an additional 10% penalty.

For one of the new hires, the move was about getting back to “a culture of a smaller, more personalized firm.”

The updates include access to the ultrahigh-net-worth portfolio management and customer relationship management systems.

The regional BD adds two teams with $373 million in assets.

In the first full year under Atria Wealth, the firm added programs from banks and credit unions with $7 billion in assets.
