Summary
1,392 nominations from 508 companies set a record for the 2026 Wealth Management Industry Awards, where winners were announced before more than 600 executives in New York.
The 12th annual Wealthies expanded to 107 categories, with new awards such as Advisor Intelligence Platforms and Model Portfolio Selection generating 142 nominations and 59 finalists.
Nearly 40% of submissions covered entirely new initiatives, while technology providers and multi-category winners stood out, highlighting digital transformation and broadening competition across the advisor ecosystem.
The event also introduced the Tina Powell Inspiration Award, an annual honor recognizing industry figures who reflect Powell's service, candor and support for others.
Earlier sessions on AI, RIA-model pressures and the future advisory workforce framed the awards around a wider industry shift toward pairing automation with more human-centered advice.
