As younger, digitally native clients begin moving into the market for financial services at both a consumer level and professional level, becoming ‘digital first’ is now imperative for the financial services industry.
The FCA also launched the Financial Advice Market Review in late 2015 which aimed to review and explore ways in which financial institutions can take actions to:
· Provide affordable advice to consumers
· Improve and increase access to advice
· Address industry concerns relating to future liabilities and redress without watering down levels of consumer protection
With these goals in mind, AI, Chatbots and Digital tick a range of boxes, particularly under the “affordability” and “accessibility” criteria. We look forward to a lively discussion of the role of AI in Money Management. Our distinguished panel from Wealth/Asset Management, Cloud and AI, will kick off the proceedings and will share current and future trends in their firms.
