A single-day roster of 140 first-registration records

On Sep 24, 2026, the IAPD roster showed 140 first-registration records, according to AUMSearch data. Edward Jones appeared with 21 records, Strategic Advisers LLC and Goldman Sachs Wealth Services, L.P. each with 11, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated with 8. The remaining 89 records were spread across all other firms.

These are first-registration records, derived from the earliest employment-history entry that resolves to a known registered firm. They are not filing dates or verified hiring dates, and a record date does not confirm a job move or an effective registration.

Selected new advisers

Among the Edward Jones records are Gavin E. Keane, with a reported branch in Suffield, Connecticut, and Richard Schulz, with a branch in Philadelphia. Strategic Advisers LLC records include James Mullen of Coventry, Rhode Island, and Alec S. Beach of Walnut Creek, California.

Goldman Sachs Wealth Services, L.P. appears with Oliver DeFerrari of Dallas and Brendan G. Becker of Troy, Michigan. Merrill Lynch records include Andrea M. Torcates of Frisco, Texas, and Sindhu E. Marakkanam of Fort Worth, Texas.

Each location is the first listed branch distinct from the firm business address when available, or the first listed branch otherwise. It is not necessarily the adviser's only workplace or residence.
