Registration records for Monday, September 21, 2026, show 134 adviser affiliation changes, and updates dominated the day: 80 records were updates, 31 were additions, and 23 were removals. These are regulatory affiliation records, not a count of job moves; they reflect what changed in registration filings on one day, and they don't establish hire or departure dates.

Updates dominated the day's records

The update-heavy split means most of the day's activity was edits to existing affiliations rather than new or dropped ones. Miguel A. D. L. Luz's affiliation with Cerity Partners Retirement Plan Consultants (CRD 164198) is one example: the Los Angeles branch address in his record changed from 601 South Figueroa Street, Suite 2000, to 1800 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 750, while his New York branch at 99 Park Avenue, 16th Floor, stayed the same and his California RA registration remained approved as of November 18, 2024. Amanda C. Carroll's record at State Farm Investment Management Corp. (CRD 3487) shows an added approval: Nevada RA status approved September 20, 2026, alongside her existing California and Oregon approvals dated September 16, 2026, all tied to the Fontana, California branch at 8253 Sierra Ave, Ste 101.

New affiliations at Strategic Advisers and RBC Capital Markets

Two additions brought new firm affiliations into the record. Heather Williamson's record shows an added affiliation with Strategic Advisers LLC (CRD 104555), with North Carolina and Texas RA approvals dated September 19, 2026, tied to Durham and Raleigh locations. Amelie Brown's record shows an added affiliation with RBC Capital Markets, LLC (CRD 31194), with New York and Texas RA approvals also dated September 19, 2026, tied to the firm's New York City location at 1211 Avenue of the Americas.

Two Schwab Wealth Advisory affiliations removed

The removals side of the ledger shares a firm: both Noah C. Lee and Ajmal Hakeemi had affiliations with Schwab Wealth Advisory, Inc. (CRD 159035) removed from their records. Lee's record had listed the Westlake, Texas branch at 3000 Schwab Way, with a Texas RA approval dated November 28, 2022. Hakeemi's had listed the Phoenix, Arizona branch at 8040 South 48th Street, with an Arizona RA approval dated January 29, 2026. The filings don't show where either adviser's next affiliation is, and the two removals shouldn't be read as coordinated moves.

The homepage chart breaks the same 134 records into 31 additions, 80 updates, and 23 removals, with the note that these are affiliation records — not a count of job moves. The examples above show the range: a recorded branch address change, an added state approval, two new firm affiliations, and two dropped affiliations. Employment dates, client movements, and asset transfers aren't part of these filings, so the records shouldn't be read as recruiting wins or departures.
