How prepared is the industry for the $10 trillion generational shift?
What role do AI, digital maturity and advisor enablement play in capturing this opportunity?
Drawing on Seismic’s latest Pulse Report, this session explores readiness gaps, transformation barriers and the practical priorities shaping the future of wealth management.
Wealth management is undergoing rapid transformation. Clients are increasingly global, advisers communicate across digital channels, and firms are exploring AI-driven tools to improve service and productivity.
Yet most compliance architectures were built incrementally around individual regulatory requirements. The result is a fragmented stack of surveillance systems, archives, approval workflows, and policy tools that struggle to support modern operating models. This session explores how wealth firms can modernise the compliance technology stack so they can deploy AI, support cross-border clients, and improve adviser productivity while maintaining strong governance and controlling supervisory costs.

As we enter the era of AI-augmented, human-guided transformations, how can wealth management companies modernize operations and prepare for emerging solutions? This presentation looks at the most critical integration issues and presents proven strategies. Spoiler: the hardest part of AI integrations isn’t the AI.
Join Stephen Rhodes, Solutions Director at SS&C Blue Prism, as he explores how agentic automation is redefining the operating model for today’s wealth management institutions. As client expectations evolve and regulatory pressures intensify, isolated automation initiatives are no longer enough. Wealth firms now require connected, intelligent systems that can drive personalised experiences, operational resilience, and scalable growth.
Stephen will unpack why many wealth managers are still struggling to convert AI investments into measurable ROI, uncovering the governance, trust, and adoption barriers that frequently stall progress. He will also highlight how combining human expertise with autonomous AI agents creates a powerful, compliant-by-design operating model—one that boosts adviser productivity, reduces risk, and enables responsive, signal driven client engagement.
The session provides a practical roadmap for firms looking to modernise their operating model, improve client outcomes, and accelerate enterprise-wide value creation with AI.
Key Takeaways:
- How do you turn AI into ROI and growth
- Operating in a regulatory and sensitive environment with piece of mind
- Scaling without introducing risk or operational friction
