...The actively managed WF account is run by an outside manager/group called CONFLUENCE (I believe). That manager apparently is leaving and taking his intellectual property with him??...
While I am not recommending it when an advisor moves on from one firm to another some customers follow the advisor to the new firm or advisory group if they want continuity of management. If you have the name of the investment advisor involved some internet sleuthing may readily identify a means of contacting them. You can start with https://brokercheck.finra.org/

It looks like Confluence is one of the outside investment managers that is "hosted" by Wells Fargo https://www.wellsfargoadvisors.com/pdf/ ... itable.pdf

You should likely give serious thought to self-management or use of Vanguard. If you search for the current whereabouts of the prior investment manager continuing the relationship will likely remain costly and merely kick the tax can down the road if you maintain the same positions.

If you change to a new advisor most of them will simply sell everything and let you deal with the taxes involved.
