JHS Capital Advisors, a dual-registered broker/dealer and RIA, has appointed Allison Hanna as a financial advisor in Portland, OR.

Hanna will work alongside a team of advisors including Dan Mancuso, first vice president of investments, and Carrie Carpenter, a senior registered client associate.

Hanna joins the financial services industry from the world of professional athletics, having participated in the Ladies Professional Golf Association tours since 2005.

She joins JHS's Portland office, which was launched in July 2012 and is the firm's second largest, with 20 employees, after its headquarters in Tampa, FL.

In related news, earlier this week JHS hired Kelly Connelly as a financial advisor and first vice president of investments at its new office in Sebring, FL. Connelly has 17 years of experience in the financial services industry and oversees $70 million in client assets.

Overall, the firm has 70 offices across the US and oversees a total of $3.3 billion in client assets - an increase of 57 per cent since the end of December, when it was $2.1 billion.
