InvestmentNews Methodology
Starting in July 2024, InvestmentNews invited financial advice and wealth management professionals nationwide to nominate their most exceptional young talent for the inaugural Rising Stars list.
Nominees had to be 40 or under (as of November 30, 2024), committed to a career in wealth management, and clearly passionate about the industry. They were asked about their current role, key achievements, career goals, and contributions to shaping the industry. Recommendations from managers and senior industry professionals were also taken into account.
The Rising Stars were determined by an independent panel of industry leaders composed of:
- Cary Carbonaro, Ashton Thomas Private Wealth
- Charles “Chuck” Failla, Sovereign Financial Group
- Daphne Jordan, Pioneer Wealth Management Group
- Marguerita Cheng, Blue Ocean Global Wealth
- Michael Kitces, Kitces.com
- Rabia Sattaur, Fidelity Institutional
