Ameriprise

The wirehouses have lost teams overseeing more than $12 billion in client assets over the past month, according to recent hiring announcements.

The firm continues to expand in South Florida by adding a primarily fee-based advisor.

The partners took a different path than most in launching their own franchise practice.

CEO Jim Cracchiolo reported record client assets and a sharpened focus under the fiduciary rule.

The regional firm picks up six advisors, including a father and a son.

The father of the $141 million team worked for Raymond James for 12 years.

Independent and regional firms have been maintaining strong appeal with new recruits.

The firm and fellow regionals continue to take advantage of hiring cutbacks at wirehouses.

Three quarters of the firm’s 57 new recruits have come from the largest firms.

Smaller brokerages are benefiting in big ways from cutbacks at three of the four largest firms.

The advisor says he joined the regional broker-dealer to focus on his core business of financial planning.

Raymond James grabbed five multi-million teams in a month. Other firms to see big transitions include Wells Fargo and Ameriprise.

The rule has cost the firm tens of millions of dollars in compliance and lost revenue.

Firms still rely heavily on commission income despite drops last year.

Stan Leavitt said he was drawn to the regional firm for its culture and financial planning capabilities.

The engine of future growth for the top independent broker-dealers is likely to be fees.

The broker now operates from Ameriprise's independent side, according to the company.

The group joined an existing independent practice affiliated with LPL.

The group joined the regional broker-dealer from Morgan Stanley.
