Reg-Proof AI for Wealth Advisors
A 180-day playbook to amplify client service, safeguard data, and outpace fintechs delivered live by Frankie Russo at Elevate 2025.
Advisors crave AI. Regulators crave controls.
Data Privacy
Client PII can't touch public LLMs.
Model Risk
SR 11-7 & Reg BI now cover generative AI.
Reputation
One mishandled prompt = brand risk for a firm nobody's heard of — yet.
Freeze, or find the compliant path — fintechs already have.
Breaking Free from the Stagnation Spiral
Outdated Workflows
Manual processes and legacy systems that drain resources and limit growth potential
Tool Reluctance
Hesitation to adopt new technologies creates widening competitive gaps
Talent Disengagement
Top performers leave for more innovative environments
Irrelevance Risk
Losing market position as competitors embrace AI acceleration
The longer you wait, the harder it gets to change. This spiral creates compounding disadvantages that become increasingly difficult to overcome.
