Lakeville, MN – November 20, 2024 – We are proud to announce that Alex Klinkhammer has been selected for and featured on the prestigious 2024 list of 'Best Wealth Managers and Advisors Under 40 in the USA' as a Rising Star Award honoree by InvestmentNews!
Formerly the InvestmentNews 40 Under 40 Award, in its inaugural Rising Stars report, InvestmentNews recognized next-generation professionals who've distinguished themselves with passion and a relentless commitment to growth. As an impartial authority in the wealth sector, InvestmentNews conducted an exhaustive research study to identify and showcase the industry's top performers. As part of the expansive search process, InvestmentNews extended invitations to wealth management and financial services firms from across the country, asking them to name their most exceptional young talent. The resulting pool of nominees, people aged 40 and under who are committed to a career in wealth, were then asked about their current role, key achievements, goals, thought leadership and contributions they've made to shaping the industry. Based on that, InvestmentNews' 30+ strong Intelligence Unit followed a rigorous process, which included interviewing objective industry professionals, review of industry recommendations, and a review by a panel of objective industry leaders who evaluated and selected InvestmentNews' inaugural batch of Rising Stars. Through this assessment, Alex Klinkhammer has emerged as one of the distinguished contributors to the industry.

Every day brings new challenge and intrigue. We're committed to excellence here – whether it's providing a plan for the future or guidance and reassurance along someone's path. It's about people.' His mentorship and those values continue to be my barometer” said Klinkhammer. He added, “Thank you to InvestmentNews and to the panel of judges for their time in the selection process. Most of all thank you to our incredibly valued clients that we get the privilege to partner with and serve every day.”
