NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealth Solutions Report – the digital media platform featuring insights, analysis and commentary for the wealth management space – today announced the appointment of Susan Theder and Adam Malamed as judges for the inaugural WSR Growth & Innovation Awards.  Launched in April 2020, Wealth Solutions Report specializes in delivering actionable business growth ideas from wealth management industry leaders, for wealth management industry participants. 

Starting in 2022, the newly-launched WSR awards program recognizes the firms and individuals delivering impactful strategies with transformative potential for the broader wealth management space.  Each quarter will spotlight a specific category, with the first quarter focused on the Hybrid RIA / Independent Financial Advisor Group of the Year award.

• The award is open to independent FA groups – either with or without their own hybrid RIA entities – that recruit, retain and help grow the businesses of independent financial advisors who are conducting both brokerage and fee-based advisory business.
• To be considered for this award category, firms must have at least $1 billion in total assets (any combination of advisory, brokerage and insurance assets are acceptable).
• The awards are open now, firms can nominate themselves, and all submissions are due by no later than March 15, 2022.

Previously, Ms. Theder has served as Chief Marketing Officer at Advisor Group, and prior to that, Chief Marketing Officer of Cetera Financial Group, two of the largest networks of independent wealth management firms in the country.  She is also a member of WSR's Editorial Advisory Board.
