Father and son team James Fleck and Jason Fleck of The Fleck Group are now part of UBS's Bend, Oregon office from DA Davidson. The duo has a T12 of $1.2 million and AuM of $160 million. They report to Justin Steers, the Oregon complex director.

UBS has been actively adding to its US advisor network as it seeks a wider share of the expanding wealth market. Just early this month, the company brought in a duo from MSSB for its Arizona office - Matthew Meyer and Christian Stout. In June, a family of veteran advisors, Charles Stoner, his wife Eileen, son Chuck, and daughter-in-law Christina, joined the North Carolina branch.
