Wealth managers turn to AI for marketing as adoption rates climb across ...
Wealth Managers Are Adopting AI for Marketing-But Mostly as a Tool, Not a Replacement Two-thirds of asset managers now use AI for front-office tasks like marketing, up from just 10% a year earlier, according to a 2026 SimCorp/InvestOps report. The shift reflects both competitive pressure and client demands: 55% of asset managers cite a desire to differentiate themselves, while 49% point to improving client experience. The adoption pattern reveals how wealth managers actually view AI. A 2025 Grant Thornton and ThoughtLab report found that 33% use AI exclusively for marketing, 37% rely entirely on humans, and 33% blend both approaches. That middle group-those combining AI with human input-signals where the industry is headed. Where AI Adds Practical Value Generative AI handles routine marketing tasks: drafting email newsletters, creating social media posts, and writing blog content. More advanced agentic AI goes further by analyzing prospect data to identify high-potential leads, automating campaign management, and adjusting messaging based on real-time behavior changes. Lead generation and personalization are the clearest wins. AI can scan customer relationship management platforms to spot prospects matching your ideal client profile, then tailor content to their specific concerns and interests. AI-powered support services also handle routine prospect and client questions, freeing advisors to focus on relationship-building work. The efficiency gains matter. Marketing demands time-from content creation to campaign tracking. AI automation reduces that burden, allowing teams to serve existing clients rather than getting stuck on repetitive tasks. The Compliance Reality The SEC's updated marketing rule requires registered investment advisors to avoid false or misleading statements and properly disclose third-party reviews or testimonials. AI tools still need human oversight to ensure accuracy and compliance. Adding AI-specific guidelines to your firm's compliance policy helps minimize violation risk. The tools work best when treated as assistants, not replacements for human judgment. Agentic AI Is Growing Faster Than Generative AI Agentic AI-software agents that manage and optimize tasks-is projected to grow at 175% annually over five years, compared to 90% for generative AI. Forty percent of wealth management firms plan to implement agentic AI within six months, according to a 2025 EY report. The distinction matters for marketing. Generative AI creates content...
AI agents could supercharge wealth advisors — but there's still a ...
Dipendra Malhotra, Citi’s head of wealth technology Citi recently added a high-profile new wealth advisor to its team — and she’s AI-generated. Last week, Citi unveiled “Citi Sky,” a 24-hour AI-powered wealth advisor that will start getting rolled out this summer to certain clients. They’ll be able to ask Citi Sky, with her blue blazer and auburn hair, about personalized financial questions and market insights. The tool, which Citi’s Head of Wealth Andy Sieg predicted will “change the model of wealth management” in a press release, will become more intuitive “over time,” the bank said. Dipendra Malhotra, the firm’s head of wealth technology, who was involved in developing the tool, said that memory is a current limitation for AI agents in wealth, both in the moment and in the long term. He wasn’t talking about Citi Sky specifically, but rather the broader wealth management industry. “One is short-term memory: how long can you have this conversation before you start hallucinations?” he asked while speaking on a panel on Tuesday for New York Fintech Week. New algorithms, he said, will likely help summarize conversations in real time, so that agents can talk for longer. “The second is the ability to have long-term memory, and that’s pretty much all conversations: all the clicks, all the things which we know about our clients, transactions,” he said, noting that advisors keep track of personal, financial, and political events, for example. Agents who have — and remember — continuous conversations with clients will help wealth advisors be more productive and sustain more relationships, Malhotra said. “That’s the Nirvana,” he said, noting that memory capabilities are rising. That kind of persistent awareness could expand the number of clients a single advisor can effectively serve, he adding that these tools are about “productivity and scale.” Malhotra said there are still plans to hire more wealth advisors at Citi, a point that Sieg also made when announcing Citi Sky, which was developed with technology from Google Cloud and Google DeepMind. Across the wealth management industry, AI is being deployed to automate grunt work, personalize advice, and help advisors cover more clients. For example, Bank of America rolled out a tool that helps its advisors prepare for, conduct, and follow up on client meetings. Citi, like its Wall Street rivals, is also investing in generative AI beyond its wealth business. CEO Jane Fraser said on an earnings call in Janua...
