Thus far in 2012, many heavyweight wirehouse teams have switched firms. At the same time, the wirehouses are under renewed pressure from boutique firms like HighTower and independent broker-dealers like LPL Financial (LPLA), which have been working hard to lure wirehouse reps into new practice models and business channels.
In its latest announcement, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney said Jonathan Klausner and John Duffy joined its Indianapolis, Ind. office Tuesday from UBS (UBS). The team now reports to Indiana complex manager Kathy Birk and branch manager Kenneth Langston. Its combined production is about $4 million, whiles its prior assets under management are $650 million.
According to MSSB, the team of Klausner and Duffy specializes in working with affluent and emerging-affluent families and individuals. Its typical account size is about $3 million in assets, and the average client net worth is $5 million. The team includes two client service associates and an additional advisor, Derek Disalvo.
