InvestmentNews recently named Aaron Schumm, Founder and CEO of Vestwell, as one of its 2017 40 Under 40. Based on accomplishments to date, contributions to the financial advisory industry, leadership and promise, Schumm was chosen from more than 800 nominations.

"I am incredibly humbled to be named an InvestmentNews 40 Under 40," said Schumm. "My past seventeen years in the industry have been a great learning experience, and serving financial advisors has been equal parts exciting and rewarding."

Schumm is featured along with the other 40 Under 40 notables in the June 19 issue of InvestmentNews.

"Given the passion, dedication and innovative spirit that are hallmarks of the U.S. financial advice industry, it's not surprising we received more than 800 nominations when we put out our call for this year's class of 40 Under 40s," said Frederick P. Gabriel Jr., editor of InvestmentNews. "Whittling those nominations down to just 40 honorees was tough. But after reading our honorees' stories, I have no doubt that InvestmentNews' readers will feel as inspired and hopeful about the future of the industry as we do."
