More Than 70 Teams and Solo Producers Have Changed Firms Since July 1st
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Aggressive recruiting on behalf of regional brokerages has led to an uptick in advisors leaving wirehouses. Since July 1st alone, more than 70 teams and solo producers have changed firms.
Some firms have benefited more active than others. For instance, Stifel Nicolaus has been successful in recruiting advisors from wirehouses such as Wells Fargo and Merrill Lynch. Notably, Stifel has added a former Wells Fargo team that managed $400 million in assets.
Many other significant changes have occurred as well. For example, Wells Fargo lost a $1 billion team to Raymond James. Dynasty Financial Partners, another independent firm, was able to secure a $1 billion team from Merrill Lynch.
