Raymond James has recruited three financial advisors with $382 million in AUM from wirehouse rivals Wells Fargo and UBS.
Dynasty, Raymond James and Stifel are among the biggest beneficiaries of recent advisor moves.
Advisors Betty Schutte-Box and Troy Yenser join Raymond James & Associates — the firm’s traditional employee broker-dealer — in Richmond, Virginia. They come to RJA from Wells Fargo Advisors, where they managed approximately $222 million in client assets.
“We were looking for a firm that we felt was on the cutting edge of technology and planning software for our clients, and we were very impressed by the culture,” Schutte-Box said in a statement provided by Raymond James. “We felt that Raymond James would embrace us and allow us to focus on the investment management and planning side of our business.”
Wells Fargo declined to comment on the move.
Raymond James has also recruited advisor Stephen Bradley to its independent BD in Action, Massachusetts. Bradley has joined Boston Harbor Wealth Advisors, an independent practice aligned with RJFS.
Bradley comes to Raymond James and Boston Harbor Wealth from UBS, where he previously managed more than $160 million in client assets.
“Raymond James provides me a broad spectrum of resources, so that I can offer customized solutions to my clients,” Bradley said in a statement provided by the firm. “But to me, it came down to culture and dedication to supporting the advisor-client relationship. The fact that they have not only a Client Bill of Rights, but also an outlined Financial Advisor Bill of Rights, is evidence of their continued commitment to both advisors and their advisors’ clients.”
UBS declined to comment on the move.
BHWA has been aligned with the RJFS Independent Contractor Division since 2015, when partners Matt Davis and Ryan Hendrickson co-founded the group, according to Raymond James. The pair started Boston Harbor Wealth with $130 million in AUM, and since then Davis and Hendrickson have grown their network of advisors, which now manages nearly $900 million in combined client assets.
