"This team is another high quality, client-first focused group of experienced financial advisors to affiliate under Steward Partners' unique business model. We're proud of our relationship." 

STEWARD'S RAPID EXPANSION IN THE NORTHEAST

"We continue to see significant interest from Washington, DC to New England," says Steward Partners Global Advisory CEO, Jim Gold. "Our branches are filling up and we are welcoming new partners every month. Although we've created something special early on in the partnership, every new partner helps us define who we are. It's one of the reasons we created the firm in the first place."   

"We know Manchester has the ability to grow beyond our team's joining of the firm." says Rice. "The market here can easily accommodate a few more advisors like us and we are looking to expand our own team as well. I've already seen what Jim and his partners have done in Andover and Portsmouth and we are excited to be founding partners in their newest location."

"We spent the last few years carefully analyzing the wealth management landscape. The combined Steward Partners and Raymond James offering was the best we've seen," adds Scalingi.

Steward Partners has added 30 advisors with nearly $30 million in trailing twelve month production who previously managed $4 billion in assets, since November 2013. They anticipate another $10 million in revenue and $1 billion more in assets by year end 2016. 

"Our pipeline is nothing short of amazing," adds Executive Chairman Michael Maurer. "We've added more talent to an already impressive team of partners here at Steward. We are now in position to move quickly in markets where opportunities exist and onboard with the same level of quality and care we've been executing in established locations. Staying focused to our values and goals while sifting through potential candidates until we find the right partners, like John, Alan and Andy makes it all worth it in the end."
