A three-day roster

The selected roster contains 197 first-registration records dated from September 25 through September 27, 2026. These are records identified from the earliest employment-history entry resolving to a known registered firm—not confirmed hiring dates, licensing dates, or effective registration dates. The count describes this selected period and roster; it is not a measure of all adviser hires or job changes during those days.

How the firm counts break down

Across the complete selected period, the chart assigns 26 records to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, 16 to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, nine to LPL Financial LLC and eight to Strategic Advisers LLC. Its “All other firms” category contains 138 records. These categories explain the chart’s firm assignments for the 197-record roster; the named firms are not presented as a ranking of every firm.

Examples across the roster

Two of the selected examples assigned to Merrill Lynch have first-registration record dates of September 26. Thomas Fisher is listed with a Madison, Wisconsin, branch location, while Kylie L. Downing is listed with a Yardley, Pennsylvania, location. The roster’s definition ties those dates to employment-history entries that resolve to registered firms; it does not establish when either person was hired.

The J.P. Morgan examples have two different record dates. Gemma L. Haller has a first-registration record date of September 26 and a San Francisco, California, branch location. Michael F. Malone has a September 27 record date and a Hodgkins, Illinois, branch location. The records provide those dates and locations, but do not verify a hiring date or a person’s residence.

The selected LPL Financial LLC examples both have September 27 first-registration record dates: Samantha M. Qualteri is listed with a Lakewood, Colorado, branch location, and Michael D. Mulford with a Wilmington, Delaware, location. At Strategic Advisers LLC, Lucas Eriksen and Claire K. Young each have a September 25 record date; their listed branch locations are Raleigh, North Carolina, and Dallas, Texas, respectively.

The location examples come from the individuals’ matching reported branch information, with a source date of September 28, 2026. The displayed location is the first listed branch distinct from the firm business address when available, or otherwise the first listed branch. It should not be read as the person’s only workplace or residence. The record dates likewise describe entries in employment history, not verified moves between firms.
