CFO Paul Donofrio said advisors are embracing the firm's growth initiatives and incentives laid out in the 2018 compensation plan.

The brokerage ranks shrank by 258 from the year-ago period.

The firm warned Friday that it may take a charge of as much as $1 billion to settle a U.S. probe of its consumer business.

Short sellers tend to go against the tide, making investments based on a belief that a stock is going to tank. These 10 banks have drawn the greatest amount of short-interest activity recently.

The firm had strong net inflows to its U.S. Income Fund as well as strategies including long duration and income.

More than $34 billion in client assets moved into the No. 1 IBD’s fold in the first part of the acquisition.

The firm also reported that its advisor ranks were up 2% year-over-year, boosted by its training program.

Fourth-quarter profits ticked up a modest 1% year-over-year to $659 million even as number of advisors dropped 2%.

While banks will likely benefit from the lower rate, the new law requires charges in the near-term.

One strategy to enhance financial prospects is to get a part-time job via the gig economy.

Wall Street doesn’t think corporate America will have a hard time coming up with those employee bonuses that were promised after taxes were slashed.

Broker headcount declined to 6,861, a 3% drop from 7,087 in the year-ago period.

CEO Dan Arnold said the acquisition of NPH’s assets will serve as a model for the future.
