Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated is the listed firm for 22 of the 169 source-reported first adviser registrations dated October 28, 2026. The firm shown is the current source-listed affiliation, not necessarily where an adviser first registered.
Larry Rhabb is among those listed with Merrill. His source-reported first adviser registration date is October 28, 2026, and Charlotte, North Carolina, is listed as a branch location.
The branch location was observed in a source snapshot dated October 29, 2026, a separate date from Rhabb’s first registration. A listed branch does not establish residence or sole workplace.
Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and LPL Financial LLC are each listed for nine people in the roster; Strategic Advisers LLC is listed for seven. The remaining 122 people are grouped under all other firms.
A first adviser registration does not establish a first industry job, first broker registration, new license, hiring date or career start.
