In the firm's Denton, Texas ,office, David Ferneding has joined; at Wells Fargo he was responsible for $54 million in client assets.
"The resounding feedback we receive from the hundreds of advisors who come to our home office visit is that they are looking for an alternative to bank-owned brokerages," John Pierce, head of recruitment at Stifel, said in a statement.
Pierce added, "At Stifel, we own the bank, the bank does not own us. Advisors understand the consequences of that last statement and are choosing Stifel for their clients, their teams and their families."
