Prudential Wealth Advisors posted about $1.4 billion in third-quarter 2026 sales, the highest quarterly figure in its history, InvestmentNews reported. Total revenue has risen 20% over two years.

More than 450 experienced advisors joined the unit in the past 18 months, about 25 a month, from firms including Raymond James, JPMorgan, Ameriprise and Morgan Stanley. The business supports more than 3,000 advisors serving nearly 4.3 million individual clients.

Client assets now exceed $80 billion, up from roughly $50 billion four years ago. Terri Kinsella, head of recruiting, said experienced advisors look beyond transition packages to institutional resources, business development support and local leadership.

Advisors weighing a move will deal with a centralized recruiting organization expected to be operational in the second half of 2027, InvestmentNews reported in October. President Patrick Hynes said that model mirrors how LPL Financial recruits independent advisors.
