Greater Chicago, IL | 15 Wealth today announced the launch of The Fifteen Summer Series, a new educational program designed to give select college students a firsthand look at the financial advisor profession, entrepreneurship, investing, and the business of wealth management.

Launching alongside the opening of 15 Wealth’s new Greater Chicago headquarters, The Fifteen Summer Series reflects the firm’s continued commitment to building an environment where advisors, clients, students, and future industry leaders can learn directly from people who have built, scaled, and led at the highest levels.

This is not an internship. It is not a classroom. It is a seat at the table.

The program will welcome a limited group of 20 students to 15 Wealth Headquarters in Mundelein for real conversations, real experiences, and real access. Participants will hear directly from an elite group of wealth leaders, CEOs, fintech entrepreneurs, global executives, bestselling authors, and advisors who have built businesses, served clients, and helped shape the financial services industry.The People Building the Future of Wealth

“At 15 Wealth, we believe access matters,” said Jeff Feinendegen, CEO and Founder of 15 WealthThe People Building the Future of Wealth. “The Fifteen Summer Series gives students the opportunity to sit with people who have built real businesses, served real clients, and learned real lessons along the way. We want them to see what this profession actually looks like and what is possible when ambition, curiosity, and service come together.”

The series is designed for college students who are curious, motivated, coachable, and interested in learning more about finance, entrepreneurship, business development, investing, and the realities of building a career in financial services. The program will cover a range of topics, including the role of a financial advisor, client communication, markets and investing, entrepreneurship, business development, personal ambition, and the common mistakes people make with money early in life.

Rather than focusing on resumes alone, 15 Wealth is seeking students who are hungry, curious, and ready to learn.
“As our firm continues to grow, we also want to create pathways for the next generation,” said Jeff FeinendegenThe People Building the Future of Wealth. “There are students who may not yet know this profession exists in a meaningful way. The Fifteen Summer Series is our way of opening the door and letting them experience it directly.”

The launch of The Fifteen Summer Series comes as 15 Wealth expands its national advisor network and establishes its Mundelein office as the firm’s headquarters. The initiative reflects the firm’s broader belief that the future of wealth management will be shaped by access, mentorship, practical education, and stronger collaboration across generations.
