Recognizing financial advice  innovators
We welcome submissions for InvestmentNews' 2021 Icons and Innovators Awards
SEP 13, 2020

It’s that time again, when InvestmentNews seeks to celebrate the leaders who have transformed the financial advice profession through our Icons and Innovators Award program.

Our 2020 winners appeared in the Feb. 3 issue and included a posthumous honor to Jud Bergman as Icon and 10 Innovator awards, as well as 18 Innovative Firm finalists. It stood out as a great read for the developments every one of the honorees brought to our industry.

As we gear up for 2021’s awards, we welcome submissions for each of these segments at InvestmentNews.com/awards. The individual awards are Icon and Innovator. Nominees for Icon should have made a lasting impact on the industry. An Innovator has created change for the financial advice community via conception of a new tool or idea that the industry didn’t know it needed.

At the firm level, we accept nominees for five awards: Investing Solutions, Retirement Solutions, Education Materials, Practice Management and Adviser Fintech. Each of these awards will go to a group that has demonstrated innovative products, services and platforms within these spheres.

We kicked off this program in 2016, and the lineup of financial advice luminaries that have walked away with these awards represent a true who’s who in the industry.

We look forward to the nominations for 2021 and honoring the invaluable contributions they have made.
