Recruiter briefHow to read thisEvery line is a fact from a public record, or a measurement DFX made on the registration history of every advisor (2023 to 2025 cohorts), read for this advisor’s own firm where the sample allows. A move indicator means advisors with that fact moved more often; a retention indicator means they moved less. Neither says what this person will do. Recruiting value and movement evidence are kept apart on purpose.

Outside business and networkWhat is shown hereEvery item is the advisor’s own outside-business disclosure on Form U4, read from the IAPD feed, so the link between the advisor and the company is theirs, not DFX’s guess. Each company is then looked up in public records (state registries, SEC Form D, the IRS exempt-organisation file, SBA loans, Form ADV, assessor rolls), and every fact on its page names its record. Personal items (a trusteeship for a relative, a home, a side job) and every address are left out. People connected through these companies are observed business connections, never assumed clients.
