UBS Wealth Management has added another advisor team from Merrill Lynch and not for the first time this year.
Led by financial advisor Charlie Bergman, an industry veteran with 25 years of experience, the BG Wealth Management also includes financial advisor Justine Greenwald who also has a quarter century in the industry, and client associates Lisa Moavero and Alona Porat.
The quartet manages $640 million in invested client assets and follows a duo with the same AUM who left Merrill Lynch for UBS in Florida in February.
Two teams also transferred between the two firms in January, including the San Francisco-based Klinger Quan Group, which manages more than $1.3 billion in assets, and Hartford, Connecticut-based David Sacharko and Sean Siana, who oversee $340 million in assets.
UBS is headquartered in Switzerland, but around 30% of its employees are based in the Americas across its divisions.
