The ex-Morgan Stanley team, which does business as the Founders Group, is based in Chapel Hill and include Michael Berard, Richard Dworsky, Frank Dworsky and David Omar.
“Following extensive due diligence, our group decided that Stifel offered the client-centric approach and platform more consistent with our team’s focus on fundamental planning and investing,” according to Berard, who has been in the business for 28 years and was with Morgan Stanley since 2007.
Over the summer, Stifel also recruited six advisors in from Wells Fargo Advisors with a total of about $540 million in assets; the reps work in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Montana.
