RBC grabs $375M all-woman team from UBS

Two advisers who managed $375 million in client assets left UBS to join RBC, the firm said.

The all-woman team is the newest wirehouse hire at RBC. The group previously generated $2.7 million in annual revenue, according to RBC.

Advisers Tracey Schusterman and Rosa Mazzone as well as Dina LiRosi, investment associate, and Rosa Diaz, client associate, now operate from RBC's Midtown New York office.
