AI now handles wealth advisors’ core functions
Here's what stays human: judgment on illiquid assets, tax events & behavioral edge cases.
A year ago, AI in wealth management meant meeting notes and tidier client emails: assistive, marginal, easy. Today, AI agents are running the workflow, not just the writeup.
Voice agents take client calls and rebalance live brokerage accounts. Compliance engines review every trade at firms overseeing trillions in AUM. Some platforms now pitch a zero-fee substitute for the full family office.
Each function the advisor used to own is now a standalone agent.
