Luke Anderson, Michael Rashtian, and Justin Iskander are recognized among top wealth managers age 40 and under in the U.S.

LOS ANGELES, CA, October 29, 2026 — SteelPeak Wealth, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm headquartered in Los Angeles, today announced that three of its advisors were named to the InvestmentNews 2026 Rising Stars list. The honorees are wealth advisors Luke Anderson, Michael Rashtian, and Justin Iskander. The list recognizes wealth managers and advisors age 40 and under as of October 1, 2026, and were selected through a nationwide nomination process where they were evaluated based on their current role, key achievements, career goals, and contributions to the industry.

“Luke, Michael, and Justin have each demonstrated a commitment to providing holistic advice and building long-term relationships with clients, which are hallmarks of the SteelPeak model,” said Reza Zamani, Founder & CEO of SteelPeak Wealth. “They have learned from experienced advisors as they have grown with us, and they continue to share that knowledge with the next generation of advisors. That is the culture we set out to build, and we are proud to see it recognized.”

InvestmentNews published its third annual Rising Stars report on October 28, 2026. This year’s class spans independent RIAs, national broker-dealers, multi-family offices, and wealthtech platforms. The report highlights advisors who take complex financial decisions and explain them to clients in plain terms. An independent panel of five industry leaders made the final selections. The report frames the list against a generational handoff: according to Cerulli Associates, roughly 35.3% of advisors, representing 40.1% of industry assets under advisement, expect to retire within the next decade.

Meet SteelPeak’s 2026 Rising Stars

Luke Anderson, SE-AWMA®, Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor, works with clients across generations. Luke brings over a decade of industry experience to every client relationship, along with the judgment that comes from working on both sides of the business. Before joining SteelPeak, he was a Financial Advisor at Edward Jones and a Relationship Manager at TD Ameritrade. Those roles gave him a view of the client experience from both the advisory side and the custodial side. At SteelPeak, his work centers on the firm’s commitment to acting in the client’s best interest, a commitment that led him to choose wealth management over corporate finance so he could work directly with clients on the decisions that shape their lives. Luke holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Investment Analysis, and he earned the SE-AWMA® designation to deepen his work with sports and entertainment clients.
