Recruiting

The broker-dealer has been scooping up talent from its rivals for months.

James Van Steenhuyse will oversee the firm's planned growth in the region.

Pinnacle Investments tapped Ami Forte despite her ongoing legal struggles with her former firm and Home Shopping Network founder Roy Speer’s estate.

Jarrett Kovics will help the firm with recruiting and advisor development.

The two advisors generated about $1.5 million in annual revenue, according to the No. 3 IBD.

ACG Wealth’s affiliated IBD has also added teams from LPL and Merrill Lynch. Its CEO says the firm is just getting started.

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

It's a sign the firm is still selectively hiring despite leaving the Broker Protocol last year.

The No. 9 IBD has emerged as one of the major players in a tough recruiting fight after the massive acquisition.

After both firms exited the Broker Protocol, their attempts to browbeat advisors have largely failed, one recruiter argues.
