Next up for Baird: Retaining 380 Hilliard Lyons advisors
Mindy Diamond Quoted – By Andrew Welsch _- Now comes the hard part for Baird. The firm’s acquisition of Hilliard Lyons, announced Tuesday, is one of the largest in recent years and is set to boost Baird’s headcount by about 44% and client assets by $50 billion, or 25%. That’s easier said than done; getting there will mean hanging onto 380 advisors.
