NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 2, 2023
Financial Planning, Arizent's essential resource for industry professionals in wealth management, published its list of Top 40 Brokers Under 40, an annual ranking that shines a spotlight on the sector's top young talent. This year's list provides deeper insight into how brokerage firms and wirehouses can retain these individuals in the midst of intense competition — or risk losing their future leaders to other firms if better opportunities arise.
The list includes a number of top young brokers who have moved from one firm to another, like this year's No. 1-ranked broker, Jenny Tsai, who began her career at Merrill but moved to rival wirehouse Morgan Stanley in 2015.
"In some ways, the rankings act as a cautionary tale," said Brian Wallheimer, editor-in-chief of Financial Planning. "Several of the top brokers have switched firms during their careers, illustrating the risks organizations run when they don't invest in suitable retention strategies."
A notable trend among this year's brokers is their ability to thrive, even during a market downturn. They have maintained strong client relationships while bringing in more assets, successfully generating revenue for their employers.
Merrill leads with the most brokers in the top 40 yet again. Additionally, despite the wide gender disparity in wealth management, this year's rankings again are topped by a woman broker and include three women in the top five. The top five brokers are:
- Jenny Tsai: Morgan Stanley
- Dominic Casaneuva: Merrill
- Michael Shalhoup: Merrill
- Krystal Julius: Merrill
- Xi Qiao: UBS Wealth Management
