Other Funds Society Summits

Funds Society GEN-WEALTH AWARDS: application is now open
The Gen-Wealth Awards are a Funds Society awards initiative, presented as part of the Funds Society Leaders Summit with CFA Society Miami, taking place in Miami on April 21. The awards recognize outstanding financial advisors and advisory teams at different career stages, honoring achievement in scale and growth—from rising talent to lifetime achievement.
A core goal of the Gen-Wealth Awards is to spotlight how different generations strengthen the leadership pipeline and support long-term continuity in the advisory industry. In addition to the individual awards by generation, the program includes a team category that highlights firms where multiple generations are actively working together in the advisory business.
Selections will be made jointly by CFA Society Miami and Funds Society.
