Recap
On March 18, 2024, the FCS partnered with Arizent in a virtual event to present the results of recent research into artificial intelligence in the wealth management industry. The event included a discussion with:
- Janet King, Vice President of Research and Content Solutions, Arizent
- Ryan Neal, Senior Editor, TradePMR
- John Kinzer, Director MarTech – AI & ABM, TIAA
Arizent, parent of publications including American Banker and Financial Planning, surveyed 127 financial advisors, representing a mix of wirehouse advisors, broker-dealers and RIAs. The goal was to understand the role that AI in all its iterations—including generative AI—is expected to play in the wealth management industry.
Respondents expect AI, in all of its iterations, to help with automation of key tasks/workflows (62%) and increase efficiencies (61%). As a group, they also see AI as a tool to protect against fraud, help with risk assessment and compliance monitoring, as well as a tool that can help enhance client experiences.
But while AI’s upside seems well understood, 60% of respondents still feel that it’s evolving too quickly—and in direct contrast to their hope that it could support client experience, two-thirds worry that it might lead to loss of personal touch with clients.
The results of this survey point to specific areas where financial advisors are likely to trust AI-driven solutions, and where they’re likely to have concerns about its use. They also highlight the effect wealth industry participants expect AI to have on the workforce.
