AI Challenges Human Financial Advisors' Performance
Kevin S. Gray, managing director at Gray Wealth Management, says AI tools will soon outperform human financial advisors by avoiding emotional decision-making, Fox Business reported. Industry analyses—including Vanguard (Oct 2025), World Economic Forum, and platform disclosures—show robo-advisors delivering competitive risk-adjusted returns and lower fees (about 0.15% versus roughly 1%). The shift raises SEC regulatory scrutiny and accelerates hybrid AI-human adoption in wealth management.
