Rising Stars 2026: Where tomorrow’s industry leaders are recognized

Celebrating the new generation redefining wealth management

Rising Stars 2026: Where tomorrow’s industry leaders are recognized

The industry doesn’t stand still—and neither do the people driving it forward. 

Across Canada, a new wave of professionals is changing the way wealth management is delivered. They’re rethinking client relationships, challenging expectations, and finding smarter ways to create impact where it counts. 

Wealth Professional’s Rising Stars 2026 is about recognizing those individuals. Not just where they’re headed—but what they’re already doing right now. 

These are professionals who stand out early. Who moves faster, thinks differently, and raises the bar for everyone around them. 

If someone comes to mind—a colleague, peer, or even yourself—this is your chance to put that work on the record. 

Nominees must:  

  • Be aged 40 or under on September 30, 2026  

  • Work in a role that relates to, interacts with, or impacts in some way the wealth management industry in Canada  

  • Have committed to a career in, and hold a passion for, the wealth management industry  

  • Have never previously been recognized as one of Wealth Professional Canada's Rising Stars (or Young Guns)  

 
If you or someone you know meets the criteria, don’t wait – submit a nomination today

Nominations close on Friday, July 3.  

The winners will be featured on the 2026 report, proudly supported by CAASA NextGen Committee and Canadian Association of Urban Financial Professionals (CAUFP), to be published on the website in October.    

Wealth Professional is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the industry. That’s why we celebrate diversity in all forms, including gender identity, sexual orientation, ability and ethnicity. We want our awards to celebrate the diverse voices of the wealth management industry and invite nominations from across the profession.
