Global wealth has reached $305 trillion, with high-net-worth fortunes growing rapidly, yet wealth management remains digitally underdeveloped compared to retail banking. In 2026, AI is becoming integral to wealth advisory, enhancing efficiency without replacing human advisors.

Industry leaders emphasize the need for connected, resilient systems to manage ongoing market transformations and a significant intergenerational wealth transfer.
