Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has confirmed that it has brought in a trio of financial advisors from Bank of America Merrill Lynch in California.

Nikesh Kadakia, Joseph Pastore and Kirk Snyder join in El Segundo. They previously had annual revenue production of nearly $1.3 million.

Kadakia and Pastore worked at Merrill for over a decade and moved to Morgan Stanley’s Manhattan Beach branch, which is managed by David Fahey.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has made a number of hires so far this year. The firm kicked off 2013 by adding three advisors from Merrill Lynch and UBS in New Jersey, going on to bolster its teams in Florida and New Jersey with five advisors from UBS.

Most recently, earlier this month it hired a financial advisor from Wells Fargo and an advisory team from JP Morgan, in Pueblo, CO, and New York respectively.
