Financial advisors Ron Phelps and Jacob Hamus recently joined the employee channel of Ameriprise Financial (NYSE:AMP) after spending 24 years and 11 years respectively at Morgan Stanley. The advisors, who manage $321 million in institutional and client assets in Middleton, Wisconsin, were impressed by Ameriprise's suite of technology and other capabilities that will enable them to serve clients and help them achieve their financial goals, even in the face of market volatility and economic disruption. They were also pleased that Ameriprise is establishing a new office for their team and other advisors in the Middleton area.

"Transitioning in an all-virtual environment had its complexities, but we knew joining Ameriprise was the right move for our clients and our business," said Ron Phelps. "We operate a hybrid practice serving both wealth management and institutional clients. Because of this, it was important for us to have access to a wide range of investment capabilities and products – and the ability to serve the clients in the way that best suits their unique needs."
