Morgan Stanley Takes Ten From Smith Barney in Kansas
Morgan Stanley's Wichita office is expanding to 24 staff with the
addition of a ten-strong team from Citi-owned competitor Smith
Barney.
The team had $1 billion in client assets and annual fees and
commissions of $4.8 million.
The ten comprise six financial advisers - Thomas Kirk, Steve
Bahm, Bryan Green, Margaret Dechant, Sarah Hampton and Pamela
Tormey - and four client service staff, Stephanie Murphy, Denice
Robinson, Ammie Denton and Amanda Maier.
The group is led by Mr Kirk and Mr Bahm, both of whom were senior
vice presidents at Morgan Stanley.
Mark Schumaker, Morgan Stanley's Wichita branch manager, said:
"They're just a very good fit for what the firm is doing," adding
that he had been keeping in touch with the group for the past
three years.
