The broker/dealer is opening a new wealth management branch in Texas.

Former Merrill Lynch financial advisor Tricia Haber has joined Texas-based Rhodes Securities and launched Haber Wealth Management as part of the firm. 

As president of Haber Wealth Management, Haber, who worked at Merrill Lynch from 2003 through 2015, will spearhead the launch of a new office in Fort Worth, TX. 

The site, which is the fifth Rhodes Securities location to open across Texas and Oklahoma, will offer wealth management services, focusing on the needs of family offices, financial advisors and high net worth investors.

Among Haber's client base will be physicians, business owners and women, the firm said.

Rhodes provides broker-dealer and financial services to independent registered representatives, advisors and planners.
