Published: 13-Jul-2009

The move is expected to help it serve clients in new markets

The Huntington Investment Company (Huntington), a Columbus, Ohio-based service broker dealer, registered investment advisor and member FINRA/SIPC, would launch a new independent Advisor Channel to be led by Stan Evans. Mr. Evans has worked 27 years in the brokerage industry, with majority of them spent in leading branch offices and regional geographies for major firms such as Merrill Lynch, Wachovia and Wells Fargo.

In building Huntington's new independent Advisor Channel, Mr. Evans is recruiting experienced successful advisors both from within and outside of Huntington's existing footprint.

Rob Comfort, President of Huntington, said: “The new delivery channel gives us a chance to offer successful advisors a choice of channels within our institution that best matches their experience and expertise. We believe Stan's years of success and experience in the industry position him well to build and lead our new Independent Advisor Channel.”

Mr. Evans said: “With all the shakeup in the industry over the past year, we feel the timing is right to attract some top talent to our firm given its terrific reputation, supportive entrepreneurial culture, strong record of success and unique advisor experience.”

Huntington is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares. In addition to the new Independent Advisor Channel, the company offers investment services through its Retail Branch, Wealth Management and Institutional divisions.
