Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way wealth managers in the GCC region are approaching investment management. With the increasing number of tech-savvy millennial investors, AI and machine learning (ML) technology tools are being used to optimize investments and maximize returns.
AI tools are helping wealth managers to streamline operations, provide personalized and efficient services, and offer innovative products. By crunching enormous amounts of both structured and unstructured data in real time, AI is rapidly identifying investment trends, patterns, threats, and opportunities. This enables wealth managers to make better-informed decisions, respond to changes in the market, and innovate rapidly to bring about new products that maximize returns.
In addition, AI is being used to analyze client financial data and develop bespoke investment strategies. Wealth managers can better understand the specific financial needs and goals of their clients and provide services tailored to their individual circumstances. Predictive analytics are being used to guide customers towards investments based on their risk appetite, coupled with automated goals-based planning and advice.
Moreover, wealth managers are using AI tools such as virtual assistants and chatbots to respond to client inquiries, freeing up managers to focus on more complex tasks. This is improving the customer experience and providing clients with live and accurate information whenever and wherever they need it.
Furthermore, as 41% of GCC investors are interested in adopting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions, AI can play a critical role in synthesizing complex ESG information and identifying the best ESG investments. Given the complicated interplay of factors in establishing stocks’ ESG credentials and the vast amount of unstructured data used in ESG analysis, AI can provide a solution to identify the best investments while maintaining transparency and accountability.
