Wells Fargo Advisors

Here's why holistic planning deserves another look.

The three recruits joined the independent firm from Wells Fargo and Edward Jones.

One recruit started in the industry more than two decades ago.

The new recruits come from Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo Advisors.

The firm's latest recruit has more than three decades of industry experience and previously worked at Wells Fargo Advisors.

The firm failed to promptly liquidate his $3 million brokerage account, the client's lawyer argued during the hearing.

Three advisers opened a new office for the independent firm, which is affiliated with Raymond James.

One of the recruits is an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience.

The wirehouse's three newest recruits are all industry veterans.

The case is the latest related to alleged misconduct by a barred wirehouse broker who was also a nightclub owner.

Three advisers joined the firm's Advisor Select channel, where they are employees but can make additional business-decisions for their practice.

The adviser was also ordered to pay $300,000 to cover Wells Fargo's legal fees.

Plus, Benjamin F. Edwards and Ameriprise each add recruits with more than $600M in combined AUM, and Morgan loses a $500M group.

The veteran wirehouse recruit has 34 years of industry experience.

Client claimed that adviser's recommended strategy earned fees and commissions for the bank but wrecked his inheritance from his great grandfather.

David Kowach oversaw approximately 11,000 advisers as head of the Private Client Group.

The seven recruits made the move from three wirehouses, Raymond James and Stifel.

The former wirehouse group, which specializes in retirement plan consulting and planning, worked mostly with institutional clients before making the move.

After predicting a strong recruiting year, Wells' independent advisory arm attracts planners from LPL Financial, UBS and U.S. Bank.

A search is underway to replace Mary Mack, who will transition to a different unit.
