Advisor Tech Talk (Week of 6/30/25)

90

Imagine, if you will, a world without wealth management, and therefore, without wealth management technology. 

Welcome to another Advisor Tech Talk, we have all the week’s wealthtech happenings consolidated into a nice digest for you below, headlined by the long-anticipated sale of Yodlee, but first, we’re going to discuss a technology-related utopian vision of the future and what it might mean for financial advice as we know it. 

And don’t worry, we think wealth management will always be around in some form—but  there does seem to be a growing proportion of politically involved people in the West, both on the right and the left, who harbor a vision of the future in which technology inevitably breaks down and remakes our remaining social, economic and financial institutions. Today these visions aren’t as far-fetched as they once were—these utopians aren’t talking about theoretical future technologies, but about technologies that already exist like generative artificial intelligence. 

We’ve discussed before in Advisor Tech Talk that generative AI can accurately and reliably perform many of the functions of a traditional wealth management firm at a very low cost. AI is so much more than financial services or wealth management, it has tremendous long-term implications for every knowledge-based sector of the global economy.  

In our AI Education and AI & Finance columns, we’ve spent some time talking about how AI is already being used as not just a tool, but a content creation and critical thinking shortcut, particularly by our children. This is a technology that can reshape everything—including ourselves.  

Today, instead, let’s imagine that technology really breaks down the relationship between labor and capital, as Greg Woolf did last week in his AI Regs and Risks column (which is always a must-read). In this scenario, companies would eventually slough off most or all of their human labor, leading to a very large proportion of society being displaced from their work. 

On the other hand, the argument goes, because there will be more resources and productivity and, theoretically, fewer people, humanity and the planet together could very well at the same time enter a period of relative abundance, where the ability to work and earn is no longer relevant.  

Think of some of the conditions in Europe after the Dark Ages and Middle Ages—the empires that conquered and warred across the continent were gone, many of the once “wild” peoples of the northern and eastern reaches of Europe had adopted more permanent settlements and patterns of living, the climate moderated permitting more trade with advanced cultures to the east, and due to centuries of war and plague, in many places the population was much smaller and the land more sparsely settled than it had been before the Dark Ages. Those conditions helped spur the flowering of culture and thought we call the Renaissance. 

Now this kind of utopian vision is at least a century old, but there seems to be a spreading belief that AI could accelerate a new period of abundance for humanity, to the extent that the very idea of wealth could be obsolete in such a scenario. Abundance here translates to less competition for resources and more peace and prosperity. If there are no jobs, and technology is doing most of our work (and also most of our thinking—don’t forget about our brains) what do we do all day? What do our brains do? If we’re not earning wealth, and wealth itself is divorced from purpose, if time and labor and talent no longer equal money—what do wealth managers manage in the new renaissance? 

Let’s get to our headlines.

This benefit is designed to immediately translate the certificate’s learnings into real-world client impact. 

Over 70 percent of privately held businesses are expected to change hands in the next decade, yet most business owners are unprepared to exit successfully.
