American National Bank of Texas, an independently owned bank with more than 30 locations throughout North Texas, has selected Ameriprise Financial Services as its new broker-dealer.
The Terrell, Texas-based bank joined the Ameriprise Financial Institutions Group from LPL Financial with a team of six financial advisers who help clients manage over $483 million in combined assets.
As part of the transition, the bank formally named its investment program ANBTX Investment Services, a financial advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Ameriprise said in a press release Monday.
Kathy A. Howe, executive vice president and director of wealth management at ANBTX, leads the ANBTX Investment Services group. The team includes financial advisers Daniel Finch, Jennifer George-Smith, Patsy Gómez, Karen Martin, Cassie Perry and EJ Pipkin; retirement plan adviser Carol Dogans; and senior vice president and program manager Cheryl Sutter.
Ameriprise is offering up to 125% of trailing revenue to poach top-producing Commonwealth advisors from LPL as a recruiting battle continues to rock the independent advisor industry.
