The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that the investment industry will undergo significant changes as artificial intelligence technology advances. The Post's Peter Hodson writes that these changes are likely to lead to lower fees and potentially better investment performance. However, financial advisers and analysts need not worry -- clients will still value the human touch and accountability. Additionally, many "black box" stock screens may overlook the nuances of a struggling company that has potential or miss the enthusiasm a chief executive officer expresses about their company's prospects. AI automates repetitive tasks, allowing investment professionals to focus on higher-value activities such as strategy development and client engagement, while also reducing costs and operational risks. As AI adoption accelerates, the divide between firms that leverage these capabilities and those that do not is expected to widen, fundamentally altering the competitive landscape of the investment industry. Ultimately, however, it is nothing to be scared of. While there certainly will be some industry disruption, the end result of new AI developments should be lower fees and better risk-adjusted returns for investors.
