Steward Partners Global Advisory LLC, an employee-owned, full-service independent partnership associated with Raymond James Financial Services Inc., announced that Randy Price and Mathew Price of the Price Group would join the launch of Steward’s fourteenth office in Houston.

Randy Price was recognized as one of Barron's picks for the nation's "Top 1,200 Financial Advisors" every year from 2014 to 2017, and the Financial Times named him as one of its "Top 400 Financial Advisors" in 2016. Price said in a release that he found Steward's independent model appealing.

Among the Price Group team members joining Steward’s new Houston office are Tiffany Soliz, Daniel Bingham Jr. and Melissa Hamner. 

The firm has also recently hired Chris Barton in Dallas to help Steward with its southern expansion (its Houston office is the first outside its East Coast footprint, the company said in a release). Barton joins as a divisional president alongside Jeff Gonyo and Jim Connors. The company plans to increase its number of partners in 2018.

Steward Partners now has fourteen offices in eight states and the District of Columbia. The growth of the family, institutional and multigenerational wealth firm continues with a record year of recruiting, assets under management and revenue in 2017.
