Despite a planned recruiting slowdown, Merrill Lynch continues to land new teams.
The firm's newest hires, who oversaw $1 billion team in client assets, come from rival UBS and follow on the heels of an equally large hire.
Advisers Joseph Gabriele and Paul Vasady-Kovacs joined Merrill Lynch’s New York office, the firm said. While at UBS, they generated $7 million in annual revenue, according to Merrill.
Gabriele, who was also once the CEO of investment firm Gabriele, Hueglin & Cashman, has been working in the finance industry for more than 45 years. For the last 10 years, he has been working at UBS. More than once he was named a top adviser by Barron’s and The Financial Times, a spokeswoman said.
