RIA strategy and practice management Fintech Fixed income Succession planning and the "great wealth transfer"

Josh Welsh is a senior journalist in the Wealth vertical for Key Media, where he covers registered investment advisors (RIAs) and the business of running an advisory practice for InvestmentNews. He reports on practice management, fintech, fixed income, and succession planning, including the ongoing "great wealth transfer" reshaping the advisory industry. He has also contributed to InvestmentNews's sister publication Benefits and Pensions Monitor (BPM).

His reporting draws on direct conversations with RIA principals, advisors, and industry consultants, translating complex developments in practice management, technology adoption, and advisor compensation into clear, accurate coverage for industry decision-makers. He adheres to Key Media's editorial standards on sourcing, verification, and disclosure, and is committed to accuracy, balance, and accountability to readers.

Josh is a Humber Polytechnic graduate, with a bachelor's in journalism and a diploma in screen acting. Outside the newsroom, he's a member of the historic Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, an avid filmgoer, and continues to pursue his passion for acting.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“I cover the RIA and advisor space around topics that practice owners and their teams can actually relate to, not just theory. Because this space can get inundated with the same themes, the most rewarding challenge is finding an angle that goes beyond the surface level.”
