“We are focused not only on investing in individual students, but also in the educational systems and communities that nurture them and the industry that will one day benefit from their contributions," said Jon Beatty, Head of Schwab Advisor Services. “Our continued commitment reflects our firm belief that the future of financial services lies in the hands of the next generation of talent. We are excited to see how these emerging leaders will shape the future of finance and drive the industry forward for years to come.”

According to Schwab Advisor Services’ latest RIA Benchmarking Study, the industry will need to hire an estimated 70,000 new professionals over the next five years to keep pace with growth and best serve clients.
