An Ohio-based team that managed $170 million in assets at Morgan Stanley is joining Sanctuary Wealth, an Indianapolis-based aggregator of RIAs, the firm announced.
Matthew Terwilliger and his team will operate as Iterhic Wealth Advisors in Columbus, Ohio. The practice focuses on clients in their 30s, 40s and 50s, including business owners, executives dealing with equity and deferred compensation, and pro athletes.
Terwillinger started his career at Merrill Lynch in 2011 and had been affiliated with Morgan Stanley since 2014.
"Sanctuary understands what the next generation of advisors are looking for to serve their clients and have built their platform around those needs," Terwilliger said in a statement.
Merrill's latest hires span Colorado to Louisiana, even as industry-wide recruiting data suggests the firm is losing almost as many advisors as it gains.
The $36 million buy allegedly hid inflated books and a $50 million diversion.
“An award citing emotional distress is very unusual,” an industry executive said.
New EBRI research found workers who participated in employer financial education reported higher confidence, literacy and financial satisfaction.
Beyond operational excellence, the winning advisors of the future are the ones who can reach across multiple disciplines without discarding specialist skills.
