Yackel will also supervise a group of staff that offers financial planning and advisory services along with cash management, mutual funds, insured solutions, lending, retail trading and retirement plan solutions.

He replaces Kevin Reed, who has taken the charge of Janney’s private client group. Reed’s transfer, which was announced in August last year, comes eight years after being the head of the company’s wealth management group.

With 30 years of experience in the fields of financial services, wealth management and technology, Yackel previously held various leadership positions at SEI, Envestnet, Fortigent and Prudential.

Before joining Janney, he was a co-founder and CEO of Trucendent, a platform that offers estate planning and trust transfer for advisors, their clients and others.
