Managing partner Penny Pennington received lower pay last year due to the declining business.

Experts say the Wall Street wirehouse pays a 'premium' to recruit, but moves like this one reveal it failing to stop top performers from breaking away. Here's why.

When it comes to elementary professional behavior, young interns can lack basic skills. Here's what's likely to surface.

Data shows that women and people of color embrace hybrid work more than men do. But the trend brings new challenges to creating a more inclusive workplace

A majority of wirehouse brokers think their comp plans are too complex. It's likely a factor in the exodus of advisors from those firms.

The ratings agency said the firm's leverage, which is poised to spike from the acquisition, will ultimately decrease this year due to profits from rising interest rates.

With billions of dollars on the table, both buyers and sellers want deals to close quickly and transitions for clients to be implemented smoothly. But success is not always guaranteed.

Five financial advisors with $1.45 billion in client assets and seven support staff members moved to the independent brokerage's breakaway channel.

The previously unreported case reflects shifting dynamics in the channel as the largest tax-focused wealth management firm hits one of its closest rivals with litigation.

A new report from industry recruiting firm Diamond Consultants shows the top trends in recruiting and deals for 2022, a year when things got intense in the last six months.

Vince Fertitta, the president of Sanctuary Wealth, shared how the firm won over its most productive wirehouse breakaway team to date.

The wirehouse announced Tuesday it was streamlining regional leadership, in a move some recruiters consider likely to blunt its plans to grow headcount.

The banking industry appears to be stuck when it comes to diversifying the leadership ranks.

Stifel Independent Advisors grew its advisor headcount 12% and AUM over 70% last year. Its CEO says firms have a major blind spot when supporting independent advisor growth.

Nathan Stibbs will be the midsize independent firm's first director of corporate strategy after it picked up more than a dozen teams in 2022.

Wealthcare Advisory, an LPL hybrid RIA, deployed its private equity capital and planning technology to reach record levels of client assets and financial advisors.

The largest independent broker-dealer is also "on a journey" to reach more high net worth clients through new tools under development, CEO Dan Arnold said.

The firm also added $15 billion in client assets through recruiting in 2022 just before announcing the largest deal of CEO Adam Antoniades' tenure.

Despite tough economic conditions for most of 2022, the company reeled in a record inflow of client assets.
