In 2007, Netflix transformed how we consume media by introducing streaming. It was a shift that redefined an entire industry. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to do the same for financial advice, revolutionizing how advisors operate, interact with clients, and deliver results.

A recent study by Accenture, AI in Wealth Management: A Financial Advisor Study, underscores this transformation, with 83% of advisors expecting AI to have a direct, measurable impact on client-advisor relationships within 18 months (Accenture, 2024). AI is no longer a distant concept—it’s becoming an essential tool in modern wealth management. Read the full study.

AI’s Disruptive Role in Financial Advice

Boston Consulting Group’s Global Wealth Report 2024 notes that AI-powered tools are a game-changer for wealth managers, enabling better client segmentation, portfolio optimization, and risk assessment. “AI is redefining client experiences by enabling hyper-personalization at scale,” the report states (BCG, 2024).

EY’s Generative AI: Transforming Wealth and Asset Management adds that generative AI specifically allows advisors to deliver tailored insights faster, improve reporting accuracy, and automate time-intensive tasks. “Firms that embrace AI today will set the standard for the next generation of wealth management,” EY highlights (EY, 2024).
