Raymond James Adds $425M-plus FAs From Merrill, UBS and Morgan Stanley

“I’m extremely pleased to welcome Pedro, Luis and Miguel to our Miami team,” said Amigo in a statement. “They bring a valuable combination of knowledge and experience in assisting their clients and are a great addition to our global wealth management group, which focuses on international business and serving nonresident clients. Most important, they share our firm’s values of independence and client-first service.”

Harth-Silva came to Raymond James from UBS Financial Services, where he managed $105 million in client assets and produced over $1 million in annual fees and commissions.

“Raymond James provides a highly reputable, stable environment for me and my clients,” said Harth-Silva in a press release. “The firm’s experienced management and support of its advisors will allow me to manage and preserve my clients’ assets outside of their home country.”

Alayo and Rodriguez both joined RJ&A firm from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MS), where they managed $72 million in client assets and had annual fees and commissions of $784,000. (Alayo began his career with Raymond James & Associates in 1998 before moving to Citigroup and then Morgan Stanley, while Rodriguez began his career with Ameriprise Financial in 2005.)

“We joined Raymond James because the firm offers the combination of the culture of independence, integrity and empowerment along with the scale of resources, technology and support of a much larger firm,” said Alayo, in a statement. “It is a great decision for our clients and our team.”
