Wealth Solutions Report - Editor in Chief's Take - June 8, 2026

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT DEALS BLOG

June 8, 2026

Julius Buchanan, Editor in Chief, Wealth Solutions Report posted his commentary on the deals and recruiting in the wealth industry on Wealth Solutions Report as part of its Deals & Recruiting Roundup.

The holiday week produced less M&A news, but a large number of promotions and people moves. Edelman, Merit, SEI, InspereX and Fiduciary Trust all named new executives and some announced multiple hires, with appointments ranging broadly across company functions.

This serves as evidence that we are nowhere near an AI-driven jobs apocalypse that has been speculated in the broader national news so frequently in the past few months. Skilled human talent is still very much in demand for the wealth management industry.
