The WealthStack Podcast: How Agentic AI is Revolutionizing Wealth Management with John Connell


Listen Later

The rise of AI in wealth management isn’t just about technological advancement; it’s about fundamentally reshaping how advisors operate, engage with clients and scale their businesses. AI’s ability to automate administrative tasks gives advisors more time to focus on strategic planning and client relationships—core elements of building trust and growing AUM. Firms that embrace this technology early can gain a competitive edge by offering more personalized, efficient service.

  • Agentic AI and its independent problem-solving capabilities 
  • How AI is projected to enhance wealthtech operations and the personal brand of advisors 
  • How AI can be used as a growth lever
  • Why compliance is crucial when adopting AI solutions
