Morgan Stanley dropped an industry bombshell this week upon announcing it would leave the broker protocol, a 13-year-old agreement that governs how financial advisers could leave one brokerage firm for another without getting in legal trouble.
Mindy Diamond, president and CEO at recruiting firm Diamond Consultants, equates the agreement to a “mutual truce” — advisers who were part of signatory firms could leave without being sued if they followed certain rules, such as only taking a limited amount of client information.
