UBS recruited two RBC advisers who managed $290 million in client assets, according to the firm.
Advisers Deborah Johnston and Erica Frantz joined the wirehouse in Minneapolis, where they report to Christopher Watkins, Minnesota market head and branch manager. Johnston and Frantz had worked at RBC Wealth Management.
Johnston, who got her start in the business in 2000, had spent her entire wealth management career at the regional firm, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. She had been a member of RBC's Chairman's Council, according to UBS.
