Join us on March 4th for a seminar hosted by University of Waterloo Financial Technology group @ the Manhattan Institute of Management: Machine Learning and AI in Wealth Management: A Revolution in the Making, presented by Dan Rosen, co-founder and CEO of d1g1t.

The wealth management industry is going through a revolution: financial advisory firms are facing immense pressure from increased client expectations, mounting regulations with higher demand on disclosure and transparency, and fee compression due increased competition, low-fee products and robo-advisors.

In this talk, we discuss how sound financial analytics, risk management tools and scenario analysis technology can empower firms to develop integrated investment advice that is consistent across the entire wealth life cycle, for thousands of clients. Quantitative engines, leveraging risk analytics, factor models and Machine Learning techniques, provide advisors with interactive tools to understand exposures, attribute performance and manage risks for a single client, a complex family hierarchy or the entire enterprise.

Technology, analytics and AI/ML tools will have a great impact on the wealth management industry, but will not eliminate the need for the “human touch”. Instead, these advances can empower firms to scale up the high-value, human services that will set them apart in an increasingly digital and automated world.

Dan Rosen is the co-founder and CEO of d1g1t, the first enterprise wealth management platform, powered by institutional-grade analytics and risk management tools that firms to elevate the quality of their advice and demonstrate its value to clients.
