Recruiting

The 4,300-advisor network is investing in insurance distribution after benefiting from rising interest rates and record client assets.

CEO Jamie Price and other executives met with some 1,000 prospective advisors after inking one of the largest M&A deals in the IBD space this year.

The regional BD’s newest hires oversaw $230 million in client assets.

Being a fiduciary isn’t enough anymore, says BlackRock’s Hollie Fagan. At the same time, firms are losing specialized talent to retirement. Here’s the best way for them to stay relevant and profitable.

The broker-dealer nabbed three planners from Wells Fargo, one from Morgan Stanley.

A focus on productivity has resulted in attrition of lower producing brokers, the firm says.

The 7,700-advisor IBD network hasn’t been as active in recruiting as its rival lately — but it’s holding on to a portion of the major enterprise.

The group opted to join the corporate RIA at the Ladenburg IBD with an eye toward greater independence with some outsourced tasks.

The firm is working hard to lure advisors away from its larger rivals, said CEO Ronald Kruszewski.

Be prepared for hard decisions and setbacks, say RIA executives.

Powerful new software and tools can help attract today’s job seekers and retain key talent.

It’s the second big hiring announcement by the regional BD within the past week.

The No. 1 IBD’s major spending on recruiting, technology and organic growth is yielding big returns.

There’s a fix, but many firm owners are reluctant to make the investment.

The group includes several industry veterans, one of whom has 50 years of industry experience.

The No. 1 IBD unveiled positive recruiting numbers for the third quarter, alongside an 84% jump in profits.

The No. 1 IBD poached two more teams from the largest firm in rival network Cetera Financial Group.

The team, which already has $3.5 billion in AUA, will service bond requests of any type from Arkadios Capital’s advisors.

The firm’s broker ranks expanded to 7,813 independent and employee advisors, a new high.

The firm has streamlined its leadership structure and overhauled its marketing strategy.
