Advisors keep slipping away from the regional brokerage while it waits to merge its operations with Stifel.

Three wirehouse advisors switch to the super regional's employee channel.

The independent broker-dealer knows it’s in a dogfight to stay competitive in a sellers’ market.

Recruiting "is as competitive as I've seen it in the last 10 years," says LPL exec.

The regional brokerage picked up eight advisors for their employee and independent channels.

The group is the latest to defect from the British bank's wealth operation before its impending sale to Stifel.

One goal is to fully automate LPL's roughly 20 million pages it uses each year and eliminate the experience of working in an office over-filled with files.

Almost all robo advisors were founded in 2009 or later and they have never seen a meaningful downturn in the financial markets. This is a major issue.

Merrill has lured away other big producers from rival wirehouses in recent months.

Two former employee advisors with $240M in AUM join independent firm.
