Wells Fargo Bolsters Brokerage Unit With Advisor Hire - Report

San Francisco’s Wells
Fargo
has added David Halsch - latterly of UBS Wealth Management Americas – to
its Denver, CO office as an advisor within its brokerage unit, SunSentinel reports. 

Halsch started
his new role last week from UBS' US brokerage,
according to a recruiter with knowledge of the move, the publication said.

Prior to UBS, Halsch
was reportedly an advisor at Merrill Lynch for approximately 20 years.

two of its wealth management units under a new brand.

managing director of planning of the division, based in Winston-Salem, NC,
reporting to head of wealth planning, Anthony McEahern.
