Dickson argues firms often skip the \u201cunglamorous\u201d but essential work of organizing, codifying, and centralizing data into a warehouse\/lake before expecting meaningful AI results. He describes a future where workflows move to the data layer and become agentic, improving client experience and profitability, enabled by flexible integration via MCP \u201cplugin\u201d layers. Key AI use cases include client review prep, customization, and follow-up, while advisors remain essential for the \u201clast mile\u201d and for empathy during major life events. Dickson also notes token\/compute costs and guardrails as major implementation challenges, advocates gradual training, and says wealth management can attract top young talent displaced from other fields by AI through mentorship and apprenticeship models. <\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Zephyr <a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/informaconnect.com\/zephyr\/?utm_medium=Content&amp;utm_source=Content_Podcast&amp;utm_campaign=WM_Adjusted_for_Risk_&amp;utm_content=WM_Adjusted_for_Risk \">here<\/a>. <br \/>Learn more about Elevation Point <a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/elevationpoint.com\/\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>00:00 Welcome From The Conference <br \/>01:17 Meet Jim Dickson <br \/>01:44 Data First AI Later <br \/>03:18 Agentic Workflows Explained <br \/>04:10 MCP Layer And Flexibility <br \/>06:20 AI Use Cases For Advisors <br \/>07:52 Relationships Still Win <br \/>09:16 Costs And Guardrails <br \/>10:29 Training Beyond Chatbots <br \/>11:41 Next Gen Talent Opportunity <br \/>14:14 Elevation Point Study Groups <br \/>15:58 One Hour A Day With AI <br \/>18:53 Final Thoughts And Where To Learn More <\/p>\n<p>Connect with Ryan Nauman: <br \/><a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ryannauman1\/ \">LinkedIn <\/a><br \/><a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LkTahoeBadger\">X<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-component=\"related-article\" class=\"RelatedArticle\">Related:<a class=\"RelatedArticle-RelatedContent\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthmanagement.com\/financial-technology\/zephyr-s-adjusted-for-risk-how-to-actually-use-ai-in-wealth-management\" target=\"_self\" data-discover=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zephyr&#8217;s Adjusted for Risk: How to Actually Use AI in Wealth Management<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recorded on location at the Wealth Management Edge conference, Zephyr\u2019s Adjusted for Risk podcast features Jim Dickson, CEO&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[114,268,85,46,266,267],"class_list":["post-531777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
