BD Rep Movement

Every year tens of thousands of reps change broker-dealer (BD) firms. Is your team staying on top of the fast-paced changes across the industry and capturing the opportunity this creates? This report provides extensive details on each rep's move, including information on the prior and new BD firms, and new rep contact data.

BD Reps Added

This report summarizes BD reps recently added to Discovery and enables you to expand your pipeline weekly. Although the reps in this report are primarily newly registered, there are cases in which the rep has been in the industry but Discovery just received their data for the first time, or an experienced rep previously de-registered was removed from Discovery and has now re-registered with another BD firm.

New BD Reps

This report isolates those reps newly registered. In most cases these reps are new to the industry, but in some cases the rep has been employed in the industry but not licensed. See which BD firms are hiring and analyze these newly registered reps further by applying your own criteria right in the online system.

RIA Firms Added

Know which investment advisory (RIA) firms were recently added to Discovery and review profiles of professionals at these RIA firms. This report primarily consists of newly formed firms, but can also include existing firms registering in accordance with new regulation (e.g. advisers to hedge funds and multi-family offices).

New RIA Firms

This report isolates newly formed RIA firms. Stay ahead of the competition and reach out to these firms before they are discovered by the rest of the industry.
