Artificial Intelligence: Most wealth managers are now investing in AI. Gen AI (a subset of AI) will have a game-changing impact on the wealth management industry by harnessing the power of advanced machine learning algorithms.

As digital transformation increases, more cyberattacks and data breaches will occur, costing players millions. However, major industry players are hiring cybersecurity specialists, and increasing internal training on cybersecurity while others plan to launch more measures to make digital platforms more secure.

Big Data: Wealth management firms are swiftly embracing big data analytics as an indispensable tool for enhancing internal operations, managing risk effectively, and maximizing profitability.
