Dan Arnold

The No. 1 IBD has completed the NPH acquisition, but CEO Dan Arnold unveiled further growth initiatives amid challenges to its dominance.

Dan Arnold received a 155% raise in his first year atop the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer.

At least three dual practices with nearly $1.5 billion in client assets have left since the No. 1 IBD unveiled the new guidelines.

After acquiring four firms’ assets, the industry giant still faces big challenges ahead.

Funds managed by Marco “Mick” Hellman sold most of their holdings, while CEO Dan Arnold received options worth $5 million.

Pole-vaulting advisor Mark Cortazzo’s practice marked at least the second hybrid in three months to leave the firm for Mutual Securities.

More than $34 billion in client assets moved into the No. 1 IBD’s fold in the first part of the acquisition.

Team of 9 advisors is latest to depart amid transition to LPL.

The No. 1 IBD unveiled a $1.1 billion firm that is part of the first incoming wave of NPH’s assets.

The firm aims to maximize its value to advisors, but observers caution that it faces big challenges.
