RBC has been on a recruiting tear, adding more advisors in the first half of 2017 than all of 2016.

The regional BD's newest hire has more than three decades of industry experience.

The hurricane poses staffing and data challenges on firms with large facilities in its path.

Regional brokerages and firms that assist breakaway advisors have been picking off top talent at the wirehouses.

The regional firm has been a recruiting tear, picking up a number of ex-wirehouse teams.

In the last month, RBC has hired six teams from wirehouses and other regional firms.

Big banks north of the border are rapidly expanding their U.S. wealth divisions, competing with their stateside peers for higher-income clientele.

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

Two of the groups joined the regional firm from Morgan Stanley.

The new complex manager will oversee 43 advisers at the regional brokerage.

The advisers previously worked at RBC Wealth Management, with one of them making the firm’s Chairman’s Council.

The new hires generated almost $2 million in annual revenue, according to the regional firm.

The firm's newest broker generated $1 million in annual revenue while at Baird, an RBC spokeswoman said.

The new hire previously generated $1.4 million in annual revenue, according to his new employer.

The regional firm's latest hires come just a week after it hired a Morgan Stanley branch manager.

The role of the firm's latest hire has yet to be determined.

Each of the group's three advisers has more than 20 years of experience in the industry.

The group consists of two advisers who generated $2.7 million in annual production, according to RBC.

The broker is the latest to leave the wirehouse, which recently reported its headcount fell by 145 advisers.

The regional firm's newest hire generated $926,000 while at the wirehouse, according to RBC.
