Becker has 34 years of industry experience, all of which were spent at UBS, before he made the move, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.
Capps spent 10 of her 18 years in the industry at wirehouses — three years with Merrill Lynch and seven with UBS, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.
Alberts logged all of his five years in the industry at UBS before signing on with his new firm.
A spokeswoman for UBS declined to comment on the move.
In Missouri, JPMorgan Chase’s businesses include Middle Market and Commercial Banking, the Private Bank and the recently expanded Chase retail branches.
In other news from the boutique brokerage, James Lansing was promoted to New York regional director, replacing former director Mike Lee. Lansing has worked on the JPMorgan Chase corporate strategy team since 2014, most recently spearheading a campaign to improve innovation and efficiency on the firm’s operating committee.
Lansing will report to Chris Harvey, CEO of J.P. Morgan Securities.
