Gwen Campbell is pursuing mandatory arbitration with the Wall Street institution over allegations that its private bankers aggressively courted her star clients.

The 15-year veteran advisor explains how she identified and built her practice’s base of clients.

The wirehouse aims to retain more advisors with changes it says will reduce complexity and boost incentives for growth.

Consolidation, an aging broker workforce, pivots by advisors away from Wall Street wirehouses and a move to fee-based services are driving the slow but steady trend.

The ruling may offer hope for Gwen Campbell, who alleges that JPM’s private bank is “poaching” and “siphoning” her celebrity clients’ assets away from her management and paycheck.

Schwab Advisor Services says many advisory firms have yet to deploy some documented best practices to boost their business.

The bank’s star recruit, a veteran advisor to famous authors, financiers and professional athletes is not happy about what she alleges is 'poaching.'

After two years of record M&A, rising asset prices and increasing digitization, independent advisors are poised to take on the brokerages, executives said.

The wirehouse’s compensation system will see small changes as brokerages confront their recruiting and retention challenges.

Facing a growing number of rivals in the independent channel, the wirehouse is boosting the compensation rate for more than 3,000 reps.
