Consiglio, who brings more than twenty-six years of industry experience, emphasized the importance of firm culture and flexibility.
RJA's additions build on previous recruitments elsewhere at Raymond James, including a raft of advisors previously managing over a billion dollars at Ameriprise.
UBS also made a notable addition in Boston last week, bringing on Christopher Brolly as a financial advisor. Brolly, who has more than fifteen years of experience advising high and ultra-high net worth clients, joins from Morgan Stanley.

We are confident that his expertise will greatly benefit our clients and contribute to our continued success here in the greater Boston market.”
