Goldman Sachs Wealth Services, L.P. accounts for 33 of the 197 first-registration records observed on September 22, 2026. The set reflects every first-registration record observed on that date rather than a sample.
Record breakdown by firm
In the breakdown, Goldman Sachs Wealth Services, L.P. is listed separately with 33 records, while three firms each show 9: Strategic Advisers LLC, Florida Financial Advisors, LLC, and LPL Financial LLC. The chart groups the remainder as 'All other firms' with 137 records, covering the rest of the 87 firms in the record set. Together, the four named firm groups and the all-other-firms group make up the complete 197-record total.
The September 22 date is the observation date for these records. The underlying registration dates derive from each adviser's earliest employment-history entry that resolves to a known registered firm; they are not verified hiring or licensing dates, and the observation date is not a filing or employment date. What the record set shows is a registration pattern on that date, not a verified job move.

The branch locations shown are reported branches from each individual's matching registration affiliation, drawn from a separate source snapshot dated September 27, 2026, and are not verified as a residence or sole workplace. This is a single-day observation, so a one-day count does not establish a frequency trend, and the records do not by themselves show advisers moving between firms. The full list of records is appended below.

The full-period list contains 197 records. The homepage breakdown covers the complete list: Goldman Sachs Wealth Services, L.P. (33); Strategic Advisers LLC (9); Florida Financial Advisors, LLC (9); LPL Financial LLC (9); All other firms (137).

It is not verified as the adviser’s residence or sole workplace.
