Wirehouses

The company has its incentives, but here’s what could be waiting for advisors.

The clients say their advisor improperly invested their funds in a Miami Beach nightclub that failed.

A months-long court fight ended when a judge granted the wirehouse’s request to restrict the advisors’ ability to contact clients.

Advisors from across 79 branches were involved in selling offerings to family members and other brokers, including stock in Facebook, General Motors, LinkedIn and Twitter.

The firm is embracing a playbook beloved by hedge funds: a slew of options trades.

Some advisors have been hunting for a better personal retirement strategy.

A major Times Square development has secured more than $780 million in new equity, including about $400 million from UBS’s ultrahigh-net-worth and family office clients.

The wirehouse has experienced rapid growth in advisor productivity, executives say.

The move is intended to improve CRM integration and search optimization.

Macroeconomic trends and matters of convenience will move advisors, assets and markets next year in the ever-changing wealth management space.
