Recruiting

This year has seen more moves, bigger moves and more expensive moves.

Stan Leavitt said he was drawn to the regional firm for its culture and financial planning capabilities.

The four advisers joined the more than 500 lost by the wirehouse in the last nine months.

The new complex manager will oversee 43 advisers at the regional brokerage.

Firms must offer them to tap new talent amid the industry’s succession problems, the custodian says.

The firm also said it has benefited from low attrition and its training program.

The advisers previously worked at RBC Wealth Management, with one of them making the firm’s Chairman’s Council.

The two advisers bolted in a quarter that saw their ex-firm lose 130 advisers.

This is the second time Jefferies has poached Miami-based adviser talent from the wirehouse.

Despite hiring pullbacks at the larger firms, there's been no shortage of multibillion dollar moves.
