Wirehouse advisors

The regional BD has picked up 15 advisors this month alone.

The move puts the Swiss bank more in sync with practices at regional brokerages.

Each of the team’s members had 15 years or more experience working at the wirehouse.

The regional broker-dealer’s head count jumped up to 1,824 in the third quarter.

The firm’s recruiting streak continues with this latest wirehouse hire.

The new hires build on the firm’s recent recruiting successes.

The lawsuit illustrates the persistence of such accusations among the nation’s more than 600,000 securities brokers.

This is the first move of Joseph Chu’s financial career, but it’s not the wirehouse’s first big loss this year.

The advisors agreed not to solicit clients and to return confidential information to the bank.

Two wirehouse advisors left the Charlotte branch one Friday afternoon, for separate firms.

The wirehouse has been hemorrhaging talent over the last few months.

The new hires include a rare independent-to-employee career move.

The two advisors have already transferred about $160 million in client assets, according to their former employer.

Clients still scarred from the losses are better prepared for the next market nosedive, advisors say.

The case is a legacy of the fallout from Puerto Rico's bond crisis and the performance of UBS closed-end funds.

An unexpected revelation inspired Elliot Weissbluth to launch HighTower Advisors.

The advisors decided to join the firm following a meeting with Raymond James' leadership in St. Petersburg.

“I did it for the LOLs,” advisor Doug Boneparth says of his newly launched advisor-focused T-shirt business.
