Wells Fargo Bucks Trend and Increases Signing Bonuses for Veteran Brokers

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Hurt by a recent bank scandal, Wells Fargo Advisors has decided not to follow in the footsteps of UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, all of which have announced they will discontinue paying recruiting bonuses. Instead, and in order to ramp up its recruiting of veteran brokers in its wirehouse, Wells Fargo Advisors has decided to increase the amount of money it will offer.  

Eccleston Law stands ready to assist advisors in evaluating the competing approaches and recruitment deals as the firm represents reps nationwide in transitions.
