EATONTOWN, N.J., February 20, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Discovery Data, the leading financial services industry provider of data and analytics on firms and professionals, has released the latest edition of its Discovery Data Rep Movement Study. This in-depth analysis of rep movement for the ten-year period, January 2009 through December 2018, as well as a separate analysis of January through December 2018, provides key insights on the industry.

Having tracked 815,062 reps moving from one firm to another, Discovery Data is able to analyze the trends taking place in the industry, which are highlighted throughout the study, including which channel is leading, which firms are gaining and losing the most reps and which trends are accelerating and slowing.

Excluding moves where the prior firm end date was more than six months before the new firm start date, the number dropped to 476,752 rep moves. Accounting for reps that moved multiple times, the number of unique reps that moved during the ten-year period was 302,793.
