The firm’s hot recruiting streak continues into 2019.

The regional BD has been on a red-hot recruiting streak.

Advisors report what they love — and hate — about tech at companies holding client assets.

The firm has recruited 22% more advisors in 2018 than the year-ago period.

The firm anticipates the change will save its 1.5 million Admiral Shares clients roughly $71 million.

It’s easy to identify, but hard to accomplish.

Ameriprise scores big in its latest round of recruiting.

The firm’s efforts mirror those at other firms and associations that are trying to improve the profession’s diversity.

The firm “has experienced a successful streak of recruiting over the last two years, adding more than 100 experienced financial advisors during that period,” says President Jerry Lombard.

The regional BD’s newest hires oversaw $230 million in client assets.

It’s the second big hiring announcement by the regional BD within the past week.

Russell Goldsmith plans to be “quite active” after handing over the top job to his successor in three months.

The group includes several industry veterans, one of whom has 50 years of industry experience.

Kelly Coffey will succeed Russell Goldsmith as CEO of City National, a Los Angeles-based unit of RBC.

The regional BD has added three new advisor teams to its ranks, as well as a head of equity and institutional middle markets.

Being an independent advisor isn’t for everyone.

The regional broker-dealer’s head count jumped up to 1,824 in the third quarter.

This is the first move of Joseph Chu’s financial career, but it’s not the wirehouse’s first big loss this year.

The firm’s most recent hires are 2 advisors overseeing more than $550 million in client assets.

The firm is looking beyond aggressive recruiting efforts that have netted 73 new advisors year-to-date.
