RBC Gains Advisers From UBS -- Street Moves

    By Michael Wursthorn 
 

A team of UBS Wealth Management Americas advisers managing nearly $200 million in client assets has joined RBC Wealth Management.

The team, known as the Winkler Group, will work out of RBC's office in Plano, Texas, the firm said.

The advisers, James Winkler and Lauren Johnson, along with client associate Randi Richardson, generated $1.3 million in fees and commissions while at UBS.

Mr. Winkler, a 34-year industry veteran, had been with UBS for the bulk of his career, starting in 1988, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's BrokerCheck database. Ms. Johnson, meanwhile, had been at UBS since 2003, according to her BrokerCheck file.

A UBS spokesman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment on Tuesday.
