AI is revolutionizing wealth management: market outlook, investments and new solutions


A young professional works with a colleague; in the background there is a growth chart with an upward trend line.

Wealth management is undergoing a profound transformation. More informed investors, new macroeconomic scenarios, and increasingly stringent regulations are reshaping a market that increasingly demands rapid decision-making, personalization, and the ability to anticipate trends.

In recent years, wealth management has evolved into a complex ecosystem that extends beyond financial allocation: retirement planning, estate planning, real estate, lifestyle goals, and multigenerational wealth management have become integral parts of the advisory scope.

Growth in AI investments: a global trend with significant room for development

 

The rise of Artificial Intelligence in the financial sector is no longer an option but a tangible and measurable phenomenon. In fact, the latest data from Assogestioni shows that the Italian asset management market continues to expand: as of December 2025, total assets under management reached approximately €2.628 trillion, reflecting a solid and growing sector. 

In this favorable context, the adoption of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence becomes a strategic lever to enhance efficiency, improve analytical quality, and strengthen the competitive position of market participants. 

According to Assogestioni’s white paper “AI in Asset Management: From Vision to Action”, AI is considered a key driver of the sector’s digital transformation, with many organizations listing it among their medium-term priorities and projecting investments of between €60 and €70 million by 2027.

Looking at the international context, the global artificial intelligence market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, surpassing $500 billion by 2027, thereby confirming the scope and speed of the technological transformation sweeping across all economic sectors, including asset management. 
This growth reflects a paradigm shift. Advisors and practitioners expect tools that can: 

  • analyze complex scenarios; 
  • integrate diverse data sources; 
  • provide truly personalized advice; 
  • ensure efficiency and regulatory compliance. 

Faced with these demands, banks, asset management firms, family offices, and independent advisors are seeking more powerful, modular solutions capable of supporting professionals in their day-to-day operations and decision-making.
