Agenda Day 2
9:15 AM Opening Keynote Panel: Operational Alpha in the Age of AI - How are wealth managers driving growth, efficiency, and client experience in the Age of AI?
As AI reshapes the operating model of wealth management, firms across Asia are under pressure to scale profitably without diluting the high-touch experience clients expect. How are private banks, multi-family offices, and wealth managers rethinking cost allocation, operating models, and service delivery to stay competitive?
• Can wealth managers truly scale without compromising client experience or is there an inherent trade-off?
• Where are firms investing vs. cutting when it comes to cost allocation?
• How do you achieve scale while maintaining agility and personalisation?
• What does "efficient growth" actually look like in an AI-enabled wealth model?
• Where are the biggest operational bottlenecks and opportunities in Asia today?
