RIAs

Developing a team is crucial for RIA owners thinking about winding things down.

It appears the regulator bought into the investor choice argument of sales reps right from the beginning.

The wirehouse recently reported advisor headcount shrank by 258 advisors year-over-year.

The downward trend in the supply chain is already prompting major changes, and it could soon spill over to advisors’ practices.

The RIA grabs an UHNW firm with trust services in a lucrative market while also targeting midsized firms.

Dennis Zank will continue to be affiliated with Raymond James as a financial advisor.

The hiring plans coincide with the firm's rollout of its digital advice offering, UBS Advice Advantage, which is offered through its call center.

The wirehouse exodus continues, as a team of Wells Fargo advisors jumps ship for the independent firm.

Advisors may be upset due to the high-handed attitudes of the larger firms, but pulling down six zeroes a year can offset a lot of irritation, says On Wall Street’s annual recruiters roundtable.

By focusing on the relationship, RIAs can outdo automated investors — and charge accordingly, says CEO Joe Duran.
