Raymond James recently recruited two financial advisors — Rosa Ebling and Jack Bayer — to Raymond James & Associates, the firm's traditional employee broker-dealer.
Ebling joins from Robert W. Baird & Co., where she previously managed $193 million in client assets, and Bayer joins from J.P. Morgan Securities, where he previously managed $230 million in client assets.
They join Raymond James & Associates' Chicago office, which is managed by complex manager Brian Lampsa.
"For several years, I have admired Raymond James as a firm with a great reputation for putting its clients first and for fostering a culture that allows its advisors to act in the best interests of their clients. After all, we are nothing without our clients," said Ebling, managing director and senior vice president of investments. "The breadth of the firm's products that I can offer to investors is broad and deep with endless resources on every topic, providing the most valuable tools in today's competitive investment environment."
Ebling said she was also "very impressed" with Raymond James' response to the initial Labor Department fiduciary regulations by allowing advisors as much flexibility as possible to meeting the needs and financial goals of their retirement clients.
