From the Moves Desk

Horizon's $385 million exit from Wells Fargo's independent channel says the deciding factors were planning tools and a named support team.

Twenty-eight advisors and $825 million stayed with LPL, giving the market a disclosed price for what an OSJ's recruiting pipeline is actually worth.

The $28.6 billion RIA put people, brand and post-close integration under one executive, which tells you where consolidation's bottleneck actually sits.
Choreo's fourth Edelman hire is an integration bet
Giving acquisition integration, HR and communications to one C-level executive shows where Choreo expects its growth to stall.
