Ten advisers with $1 billion in combined client assets have joined Ameriprise, according to the firm.
Ameriprise's latest recruiting sweep stretched from late August to October. The adivsers joined the firm's employee and independent channels, with the largest contingent coming from Wells Fargo Advisors.
In the largest of the moves, former Morgan Stanley advisers Mark Filla and Scott Latzke managed $344 million in client assets before moving to Ameriprise's employee side, the firm said. They switched firms Oct. 21, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.
The duo, operating as the Filla Latzke Group, is based in Milwaukee where they report to branch manager Paul Jackson. They said in a statement that they made the move in part because of Ameriprise's capabilities.
Plus, advisers with $450M in combined AUM join Benjamin Edwards.
Filla began his career with Morgan Stanley in 2001 while Latzke joined the firm two years later, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.
Among those departing Wells Fargo was Todd Darling, who had overseen $104 million in client assets before switching firms, according to Ameriprise. He is based in Middletown, Massachusetts, and reports to Complex Director David Shnitzer. Darling had been with the wirehouse since 2004 and had previous work experience at UBS and Smith Barney, per BrokerCheck.
