AI Poised to Automate Wealth Advice for Mass-Affluent Clients, Shifting Advisers to Top 1%

Summary
Much of the investment guidance now given to mass-affluent clients could be automated by AI, according to Bloomberg, reshaping how wealth managers deliver advice.
Consultants and industry executives told Bloomberg the tools are advancing quickly enough to handle routine portfolio guidance, pushing human advisers toward more complex, high-touch relationships.
That shift would concentrate advisers on ultra-wealthy clients while lower-balance customers increasingly receive automated recommendations and service.
The change points to a broader overhaul of wealth management, with AI altering both client segmentation and the role of human advisers across the industry.
