In addition to the accuracy of the information provided, these platforms offer rapid access, which helps to reduce processing times.
Growing demand for tailored services

The asset manager: the hero of the story
Despite the many benefits and opportunities currently available on the financial markets, the idea of replacing asset managers with robots remains a distant prospect. Artificial intelligence can be effective in managing certain metrics, but decision-making power is best left to humans. Thanks to their experience, asset managers can manage portfolios more effectively in times of crisis, making strategic decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of the financial environment (trends, analyses, etc.), unlike artificial intelligence, which is limited to quantitative data.
High-net-worth clients: are they really ready for the transition?
Despite the strong public interest in artificial intelligence, human interaction remains by far the preferred means of communication when it comes to investment advice. Private clients, investors and asset management companies are not yet fully familiar with automation tools. Given the constant evolution of these technologies, the assistance of a real consultant remains crucial.
What if we combined human expertise with virtual technology?
One possible solution for ideal asset management is to combine human expertise with artificial intelligence. Many private customers find that using a virtual assistant for simple tasks is a time-saving and efficient solution. The asset manager, on the other hand, is their trusted partner for the most complex requests requiring a certain level of expertise.
