Wirehouse advisors

Naureen Hassan says tools in development will make advisers "faster and smarter" in serving clients.

The four advisers had spent their entire careers at Merrill before making the switch.

The platform provider has inked partnerships with 45 RIAs since 2010 and 10 so far this year.

The latest hires join the regional firm from Wells Fargo and RBC.

Concerns about management dragged down job satisfaction ratings in J.D. Power’s annual survey.

His move is also something of a reunion, as Steward Partners CEO Jim Gold once served as his manager at Smith Barney.

The advisers once oversaw approximately $750 million in client assets, according to Barron's.

Here's how to create a corporate culture that advisers and clients want to be associated with.

Concerns with the fiduciary rule, compensation and leadership pushed down satisfaction ratings.

The new hires generated almost $2 million in annual revenue, according to the regional firm.

The boutique firm is looking to expand to new markets, says Ryan DeVore, the firm's head of Private Client Advisors.

The regional brokerage firm recruited its second wirehouse group this week.

The group joined the regional broker-dealer from Morgan Stanley.

Demographics and competitive forces are destined to weaken the determination to avoid expensive recruiting packages.

The group says it wanted to offer clients greater transparency.

The firm has collected more than $1.1 million in arbitration cases so far this year.

The new recruits, who previously worked at Wells Fargo Advisors and Janney Montgomery Scott, also pointed to the firm's affiliation with Raymond James in making the move.

New firm FallLine Securities caters exclusively to advisers serving ultrawealthy clients.

The wirehouse said recently it plans to stop recruiting experienced advisers, but made an exception if talks with recruits started before June 1.

The new hires joined Merrill from Morgan Stanley.
