UBS Wealth Management USA continued its campaign to selectively recruit to fill empty seats as it hired three brokers with $2.4 million in production from SunTrust Investment Services, Fidelity Investments and Merrill Lynch.
In Franklin, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, UBS hired Shaun Rowles, who was producing around $1 million in annual revenue and oversaw $157 million in client assets, according to a person familiar with the move.
“The market is very competitive for top advisors,” said Mindy Diamond, a New Jersey-based recruiter with Diamond Consultants. “If you only go after wirehouse advisors, you’re tapping a limited talent pool.”
