Case Study: The Blended Advisor and Combining a Human Touch with Agentic AI to Deliver Customer Experience

As advisory models evolve, the most effective approaches blend human expertise with intelligent automation. We examine how agentic AI can support advisors across research, preparation, monitoring and client engagement, freeing up time for higher value conversations without diluting trust. This case study looks at where AI adds real impact across the advisory journey, how firms define appropriate boundaries between human and machine decision making, and what this means for governance, skills and client outcomes. The focus is on practical deployment, showing how wealth managers can scale personalised service while preserving the human touch clients expect.

Breakfast Deep-Dive: From Pilot to Production: Realising the Promise of AI in Wealth Management

Implementing AI at scale, bringing projects from pilot to production, takes time – and it’s expensive. Instead of a scatter gun approach, in which the widest range of possible use cases are pursued, leading wealth managers are prioritising a smaller set of proven, high impact use cases. This closed door, Chatham House roundtable, facilitated by Stephen Walker, Lead Analyst, Banking & Payments, Global Data, will map out what these key uses are and why they promise greater ROI, based on the latest executive survey and case study insight from GlobalData. We bring together a select group of senior wealth management and private banking leaders for a candid peer discussion on what is actually working in practice. You’ll hear honest perspectives on why so many AI initiatives stall, how leading firms are narrowing their focus, and where investment is delivering tangible returns today.

Discussion themes

  • Where AI experimentation is most advanced across the wealth management value chain
  • Why pilots fail to reach production and the organisational, data, and governance barriers behind that
  • Which use cases are delivering credible ROI, and how firms are measuring value over time
