Merrill Lynch

Jean McCrave Baxter claims colleagues made sexual jokes and she was denied advancement opportunities afforded to male co-workers.

The dispute pits four advisors against big Wall Street names: Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Raymond James and Merrill Lynch.

One of the firm's two new executives is a wirehouse veteran who started her career at Merrill Lynch in 1990.

It will host public forums in nearly two dozen cities over the next 16 months.

The regional firm has opened five new branches and hired at least 73 advisors year-to-date.

Six of the top 10 advisor recruits — managing roughly $13.2 billion in client assets — have walked out of the wirehouse so far this year.

These mega brokers managed $18 billion in assets at their previous firms.

Wirehouse policy changes are bearing fruit and leaving advisor career options in flux.

To convince advisors to try its platform, Capitect took a number of steps, including partnering with XY Planning Network to provide its tools to members without cost.

The recruits oversaw more than $200 million in client assets.

Jim Senderling and John Robbie had been with Merrill Lynch for 27 and 25 years, respectively.

The firm’s FA ranks at 14,820 were down by only nine brokers from the previous quarter.

Despite loosening regulations and the president’s tax cuts, BofA continued a string of lackluster second-quarter earnings for the big banks.

Bruce Keebeck Lee has repeatedly been ranked as a top advisor by both Barron’s and The Financial Times, but he was fired in April for a failure to file compliance paperwork.

Gains by rivals expose independent advisors' vulnerability, says United Capital's Matt Brinker.

Since early May, the wirehouse has lost at least 27 advisors managing a combined $15 billion.

The lawsuit follows a complaint by the SEC alleging that five men and three companies defrauded more than 600 investors.

While Raymond James and Stifel are on hiring sprees, Wells Fargo is still losing talent.

The app also allows clients to use the Zelle person-to-person payments service.

The regional firm's new additions consist of two veteran advisors from Wells Fargo and a father-daughter duo from Merrill Lynch.
