Regional BDs

The hiring spree follows the firm’s move earlier this year to become a member of the Broker Protocol.

The company's head count has expanded by 43 advisors in the past year.

The firm “has experienced a successful streak of recruiting over the last two years, adding more than 100 experienced financial advisors during that period,” says President Jerry Lombard.

Competitive pressures from the industry’s smaller players are changing the wirehouse playbook.
