Wells Fargo Advisors

This is the first career move by Angie Messer and Greg Rust, who worked at the regional BD for 10 and 27 years, respectively.

Talent appears to be pouring from the wirehouse as more planners exit.

Investigators say the onetime FiNet branch manager preyed on “particularly vulnerable” clients, including several with dementia.

The company has its incentives, but here’s what could be waiting for advisors.

The regional brokerage isn’t slowing down its recruiting efforts.

The advisors joined the firm’s employee and independent broker-dealer units.

The 50 largest teams and OSJs to change their affiliations show both the threat to incumbent firms posed by RIAs and the scale afforded by acquisitions.

The following 17 teams oversaw about $75 billion in assets. The firms ending the year with prize recruits include a diverse cast: regional BDs, wirehouses, boutiques and RIAs.

The wirehouse has experienced rapid growth in advisor productivity, executives say.

The firm will test markets in a few cities next year in a bid to keep pace with a shifting wealth management landscape.

The firm has seen a number of planners exit in recent months.

The latest recruiting sweep included eight advisors in five states.

The regional BD continues to benefit from the ongoing stream departing the wirehouse.

The merged operation will be run by someone yet to be named who will report to Jon Weiss, head of wealth and investment management.

The broker-dealer nabbed three planners from Wells Fargo, one from Morgan Stanley.

The group opted to join the corporate RIA at the Ladenburg IBD with an eye toward greater independence with some outsourced tasks.

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

Executives at the beleaguered firm say they are focused on quality, not quantity.

The brokers moved their practices to rival firms Ameriprise and William Blair.

Jason Holland is the latest broker to leave the troubled wirehouse.
