Overview
The wealth management and investor landscapes continue to move into the uncharted waters of rapidly changing technology, economic uncertainty, and political and social change. As advisor and investor behaviors evolve with workflow automation, three key forces are reshaping the industry's future: the integration of artificial intelligence, the ongoing evolution of self-directed trading, and the rising influence of Gen Z investors.
AI is rapidly penetrating the wealth management model, revolutionizing client services and the advisor tech stack. This technological advancement promises enhanced decision-making and operational efficiency through predictive analytics and automated back- and middle-office operations. For investors, the integration of AI to simplify self-directed trading and portfolio management continues to make an impact. However, the AI-driven future is not without its challenges, particularly in data management, ethics, compliance, and regulation.
As AI reshapes the advisory landscape, self-directed trading platforms are undergoing their own transformation, socializing access to professional-grade tools for retail investors. This evolution dovetails with the AI trend, as many of these advanced features are powered by AI technologies. While this trading revolution offers exciting opportunities, it also raises concerns about investor behavior, risk management, and the potential impact on long-term financial goals.
At the intersection of these technological advancements is the rising influence of Gen Z investors, whose digital-first approach and particular values further catalyze change in the industry. Javelin predicts that the "E" in ESG will garner new momentum with RIAs and investors as the lens of AI and the growing need for energy-efficient processing solutions come into focus.
