McCabe, based in Sarasota, Fla. joins Gladstone Securities as the eastern region external wholesaler. The company said that McCabe’s 35 years of industry experience will further its growth and development as it continues to expand alternative investment offerings for certain affiliated Gladstone funds. McCabe’s background includes representing various companies specializing in offerings of mutual funds, real estate investment trusts, annuities, 1031 exchanges, and alternatives. McCabe has predominately served as a consultant to independent financial advisers, regional and national broker-dealers, RIAs, and the wirehouse channels.
