The band was back!
The Cougars, the Jersey Shore-based rock band that closed down the 2025 Wealth Management EDGE conference, returned for an encore performance to culminate the 2026 version of EDGE, held at The Boca Raton resort in Boca Raton, Fla.
The last day of the conference, focused business, investment and tech growth strategies for independent financial advisors, featured Q&A discussions with RIA CEO leaders Peter Mallouk (from Creative Planning), Ralph Haberli (from Edelman Financial Engines) and Larry Restieri (from Hightower).
The KOID humanoid robot also made an appearance, as well as a meetup with Wealth Management’s editors and a panel with former NFL stars-turned financial advisors Shawn Wooden and Winston Justice.
Then, The Cougars took the stage.
