About This Episode

The biggest trend in the advisory profession over the last year was the integration of AI into practices. Using generative AI for finance allows advisors to enhance their efficiency across multiple areas of their business, letting them do more with less. Increasing their productivity in investment management allows them to spend more time with their clients, and AI – which can reveal relevant news items for advisors – gives them natural touch points to reach out to their clients more often.
