The Klinger Quan Group is led by Jeffrey Klinger and Bradley Quan, who are joining UBS from Merrill Lynch Private Wealth Management. They're joined in the move by three staffers: senior wealth strategy associates Clinton Greene and Joram Jensen, and client strategy associate Ryan McAbel.

Prior to joining Merrill in 2013, Klinger spent five years at Credit Suisse and worked in the private wealth management division at Lehman Brothers. Quan also joined Merrill in 2013 from Credit Suisse; he began his career in 2003 as a business analyst at Lehman Brothers.

Sacharko had been affiliated with Merrill since 2004, according to his BrokerCheck report. Siana joined Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in 2014.
