The Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) is calling for nominations for its annual IIAC Top Under 40 Award.

The award aims to recognize the new generation of talented, industrious young professionals who have brought distinction to the investment and financial industry.

“The calibre of past nominees and recipients has been truly excellent and portends a bright future for the securities industry,” says Ian Russell, IIAC president and CEO, in a statement.

“Their passion for the investment business and commitment to giving back is worthy of acclaim,” he adds. “We are calling on members of the public to put forth the names of outstanding individuals for consideration for the 2018 IIAC Top Under 40 Award.”
