Cypress Trust in Palm Beach is poised to pull off a rarity: the conversion of a wealth management firm into a community bank. It’s simply another way to take advantage of the ongoing melding of the two financial services sectors, CEO Dana Kilborne says.

Two advisors left their prior firm of 10 years after the bank’s wealth and asset management unit generated record net income in the first quarter.

The quartet of financial advisors leaving UBS after a decade also has an advisor with an equestrian specialty.

The current arrangement is anti-fiduciary and could put a drag on the wealth management boom, writes Kevin Armstrong.

Advisors and clients at Bank of America's brokerage can now collaboratively create multiple accounts across the firm simultaneously.

Most young and mass market clients still turn to traditional firms, but a shift toward app-based accounts is under way, according to Broadridge data.

Joe Skarda, who was previously managing director of JPMorgan Chase’s U.S. wealth management central division, will oversee a unit that houses Key’s private bank, family wealth and mass affluent business segments.

The Swiss bank added a sprinkle of new US advisors for the first time in years, amid record quarterly profits and plans for global job cuts.

Outmoded, unpopular, a tad unsavory: the once-ubiquitous title is now out of favor.

The six-person will focus on ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals in South Florida.

Move quickly, know your tech stack and use personal email in the planning stage, writes Mark Elzweig.

The two lead advisors had each spent more than two decades with the wirehouse.

Axos Financial, which has $14.4 billion across business lines, will gain $23 billion in new assets from 200 RIAs.

Despite record growth in wealth management, an otherwise rosy earnings report was marred by $911 million loss related to Archegos Capital.

Despite losing more than 295 net advisors in the first three months of the year, the wirehouse had one of its best quarters in history in terms of revenue.

A net 236 brokers left the wirehouse in the three months ending in March, the company said in its latest quarterly report.
