When David Katz moved from Ameriprise to Raymond James last year, his partner decided to stay behind — but only for a few months.
That advisor, Robert DuKate, has now rejoined his partner at the Florida-based regional broker-dealer. DuKate managed $125 million in assets at Ameriprise, according to Raymond James.
“I was looking for a firm that provides ample resources and alternatives to meet my clients’ evolving financial planning needs,” DuKate said in a statement.

The firm’s recent hire, DuKate, worked at Ameriprise for the past five years. Before that he was at Morgan Stanley, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. Carolyn Pisano-Jarboe, a senior registered client service associate, will join him in making the move.
DuKate registered with his new firm, Raymond James, in June, according to FINRA BrokerCheck.
The advisors are operating as Katz DuKate Wealth Management in Boca Raton, Florida, where they primarily serve business owners and high-net-worth families.
Neither DuKate nor an Ameriprise spokeswoman would comment further on the career move.
