Though the wirehouse notched impressive wins, Merrill wasn't the only firm to land elite recruits recently.

The promotion comes as wealth management firms accelerate efforts to roll out digital advice platforms.

Wirehouses, broker-dealers and banks unveiled client-friendly policies while asking the agency for further delays.

The Swiss firm picked up a team that oversaw approximately $900 million in client assets.

The wirehouse announces another huge hire weeks after saying it would be cutting back on recruiting.

The two advisers generated $7 million in annual revenue, according to their new employer.

He concealed 300 transactions over two years while raking in millions of dollars, investigators say.

The wirehouse had held back on finalizing some aspects of its fiduciary implementation plan until the rule's fate was clearer.

The new offering would enable the firm to serve "more than their traditional wealth management needs," an executive said.

It seems that a long bull market in transition deals may be coming to an end.
