The proliferation of AI and its application in financial services is forcing a re-evaluation of traditional wealth management models, particularly for client segments that require high-touch service but yield diminishing returns for human advisors.
Wealth managers must adapt their strategies, potentially leveraging AI to serve the mass affluent effectively or shifting focus to ultra-high-net-worth clients, impacting industry structure and access to financial advice.
