The advisors joined the regional BD from UBS.

The wirehouse has experienced attrition while the regional BD has been on a hiring streak.

The firm’s new additions include three brokers previously affiliated with Wells Fargo Advisors.

The new recruits come from Merrill Lynch and Stifel, with $165 million in total client assets.

These and other firms are building brands that appeal to advisors. Here’s how.

Danny Ludeman had worked at the wirehouse from 1999 to 2014.

One advisor has worked at Securian for his entire career.

The firm has been picking off talent from rivals, primarily wirehouses.

The new recruits managed over $300 million in client assets.
