Largest US IA Firms

Hey guys,

Who would you say are the top 10 IA firms in terms of # of advisors and AUM in the US?

I had:

UBS, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Raymond James, Citigroup, TD Ameritrade

Any others to add? Or do any of the names I listed not have advisor (RIA) operations?

Also, does anyone know, if you're an advisor at one of these firms, do you get research in-house, or are there lists of 'approved' providers you can deal with? I know TD Ameritrade has one of these...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
