The wirehouse will be the first full-service wealth manager to offer the new ETF-mutual fund hybrid to clients.

President Tom Naratil says the firm will recruit less, spend more on advisers already at the firm and give additional power to branch managers.

The recruit was overseeing 100 advisers responsible for $15 billion in client assets before joining the breakaway firm.

An arbitration panel ruled in UBS' favor, after the wirehouse alleged that a former adviser stole client data before moving to Wells Fargo.
