Abbie Osterbur and Niralee Patel, who managed $160 million at Merrill Lynch, have moved to Raymond James & Associates, the employee adviser channel of Raymond James, the firm announced Tuesday.
They are joined in the move by a staffer and will do business as Osterbur Patel Wealth Management in Champaign, Illinois.
“We were attracted to Raymond James because of the firm’s client-first mentality and planning-centric approach to wealth management,” Osterbur said in a statement. “The promise of autonomy to run our practice as we see fit was also a big draw.”
Osterbur began her career at Merrill Lynch in 2012. Patel joined Merrill Lynch in 2013 and had been an adviser there since 2014.
Blue Anchor Capital Management and Pickett also purchased “highly aggressive and volatile” securities, according to the order.
