Wirehouses

Greg Fleming was tapped to become CEO of the newly formed Rockefeller Capital Management.

Independent and regional firms have been maintaining strong appeal with new recruits.

The move is the fourth major recruiting announcement for the firm this month.

"This is a window for these regional firms to really explode," says Rob Blevins, a recruiter in Dublin, Ohio.
