Financial Planning names 2026 Rising Stars in wealth management

On Sept. 14, 2026, Financial Planning named 10 advisors to its 2026 Rising Stars in wealth management.

The honorees are professionals with fewer than 10 years of industry experience. Nominees were reviewed and selected through an independent editorial process.

The class includes traditional financial planners, midlife career changers and advisors who use social platforms such as TikTok to reach clients. Members work at firms of various sizes and serve a range of client types across the United States.

Selected advisors engage in community projects, financial education programs and new client engagement methods. Several honorees run outreach in community centers or produce digital content aimed at building financial literacy.

Financial Planning publishes the Rising Stars list annually to spotlight early-career advisors and to track trends in the profession. Past classes were named in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Profiles of the 2026 honorees describe individual practices, client-service approaches and community initiatives, documenting career paths and the different strategies newer advisors use.

Firms recruiting emerging talent, clients seeking younger advisors and peers monitoring advisory strategies may consult the list. The editorial review and yearly schedule establish a recurring view of rising professionals in wealth management.
