Market Opportunity

The industry is forced to move to AI. WealthAi delivers the OS for them to do so.

Three macro forces converging. The window to build the AI OS in wealth is open now.

Growth in AI budgets at wealth firms

AI spend at wealth management companies is set to triple within the next 3-5 years, surging from 16% to 37% of IT budgets as firms race to keep pace with industry change. Source: Wipro 2024 US wealth management survey.

Speaker Notes

Three forces converging. The generational wealth transfer is the demand trigger. AI capability is the supply trigger. And budgets are following, from 16% to 37% within 3-5 years. The window is open now. Bottom-up market sizing is covered later in the Global Market Opportunity slide.

The Problem

Wealth management runs on broken infrastructure

Legacy systems can't scale trust, personalisation, or performance.

60-70%
of RM time goes to non-revenue work

Relationship managers at private banks lose most of their day to manual data processing, fragmented platforms, and unintegrated research rather than clients. Source: McKinsey, Analytics transformation in wealth management.

2x
AUM and revenue per adviser, unrealised

Automating operational work can free almost half of RM time, with enough capacity to double AUM and revenue per adviser. Today that upside is trapped behind admin. Source: Accenture, Future of Asia Wealth Management 2023.

60-80%
of tech budget keeps legacy alive

Wealth and asset managers spend most of their technology spend running legacy systems, leaving only 20-40% for change. Innovation is starved while costs compound. Source: McKinsey, Reshaping asset management operations with technology transformation.

10+
disconnected systems at 37% of Swiss wealth managers

Fragmented tech stacks across custody, portfolio, CRM, research and compliance mean every workflow crosses multiple systems, breaking data quality and oversight. Source: PwC Digital Banking Survey 2023.

Speaker Notes

Four verified problem stats. First, relationship managers at private banks spend 60 to 70 percent of their time on non-revenue work (McKinsey). Second, Accenture research finds that freeing that time could double AUM and revenue per adviser. Third, McKinsey also finds that 60 to 80 percent of tech budget goes to keeping legacy systems running. Fourth, PwC's 2023 Digital Banking Survey finds 37 percent of Swiss wealth managers run more than ten disconnected systems. All four reinforce the broken-infrastructure title.

The Solution

One AI OS. Every team gets their time back.

An AI-powered operating system that connects data, agents, and workflows into a single workspace. Purpose-built for wealth managers.

WealthAi Assistant UI
What it is

The Assistant, a workforce of Agents, and a Marketplace.

One intelligent workspace for every role. Natural-language research, policy-governed actions, full audit trail.

What clients get
  • Advisors get their diary back
  • Compliance runs on exception, not attrition
  • Operations works on strategy, not spreadsheets
  • Clients get more face time and better advice
How it works, four layers
Experience

Speaker Notes

WealthAi is the AI operating system for wealth managers. On the left, the actual Assistant UI, live today with our reference clients. Three sidebar blocks on the right tell the story: what the platform is (Assistant, Agents, Marketplace in one workspace), what each team in the firm gets (advisors their diary back, compliance on exception, operations on strategy, clients more face time and better advice), and how it works (four architecture layers, from the Experience layer at the top through the Runtime at the base). The Experience layer is highlighted because that's where our sales motion lands first.

Speaker Notes

This is a single 100-person wealth manager compounding. Land in compliance with 10 users and 1 agent. Expand across the firm as more teams adopt more agents, reaching 30 users and 5 agents around month 12. By month 24 the whole firm is deployed: 100 users, 10 agents, MarketPlace integrations live. ARR grows roughly 10x from ~£40K to ~£400K on the same logo. The unit economics underneath are what make this work: 16.9x LTV:CAC, 7.1 month payback, 108% NRR (compounding), 75% gross margin. Same playbook runs across every tier, from Boutique at £18K to Very Large at £495K. Detail by tier and the full 5-stage breakdown live in the reading deck.

Speaker Notes

Two distribution vectors, one central platform. Inbound on the left is the Marketplace: 17 partnerships, 6 live integrations, clients subscribe to best-in-class tools through one platform and we take 10 to 50% revenue share. MDOTM is our live Italian case study, and we have 10 more partners including Morningstar, Axyon, WealthKernel, ROYC and Stratiphy. Outbound on the right is the Platform Partnership model. Capital Economics is our flagship, MOU signed Q1 2026, embedding WealthAi into their platform reaches approximately 250 institutional clients. Terms in active review as CE finalises AI strategy. The principle is that inbound compounds revenue on existing logos and outbound compounds reach at near-zero CAC.

Speaker Notes

Four tracks all converge on right now. Regulation: Consumer Duty in 2023, DORA and EU AI Act prohibitions in early 2025, EU AI Act high-risk obligations in August 2026. Enforcement: five wealth-sector cases inside the window. Lighthouse (Quilter) paid £23M in redress in May 2023. Julius Baer International was fined £18M in September 2023. SJP set aside £426M for ongoing-advice redress in February 2024. FINMA confiscated CHF 12.7M from Mirabaud in September 2024. Barclays was fined £42.4M in July 2025 across two AML cases, one of which included £3.1M tied to the WealthTek client-money failings, the rest relating to a separate Stunt & Co case. Technology: GPT-4 made the reasoning viable, Claude 3.5 made long-context regulated work viable, reasoning models closed the gap, and ESMA explicitly accepted AI under MiFID II. Market: three AI-native competitors raised Series As inside twelve months, pricing the category. The cost strip at the top makes the burden visible. UK advice firms spend only 35% of their time on clients, 19% of revenue on compliance, 96% report regulation is diverting time. Swiss private banks are under margin pressure with cost-to-income at 75.5%. All published, all sourced, full research in docs/research.

Competitive positioning

No serious competitor is building for European mid-market wealth

Every other AI-native OS player is either tier-1 focused, US focused, or not wealth-pure. We own the open gap in the segment.

AI-native, wealth-pure, compliance-first. Built for the mid-market firm carrying the same regulatory load as a tier-1 bank with a fraction of the headcount. Tier 1 incumbents (FNZ, Temenos, Avaloq) target the top of the market. AI-native challengers (Nevis, Avantos) operate in the US. Enterprise-scale AI players (Unique AG) aim upmarket.

WealthAi

Speaker Notes

Three tiers on the Y-axis. Tier 1 is global banks, Tier 2 is large specialist private banks, Tier 3 is our segment, 5 to 500 staff, £100M to £20B AUM. Geography splits Europe from US. Tier 1 incumbents (FNZ, Temenos, Avaloq) target firms much larger than ours. Unique AG is the one AI-native Swiss play that exists but targets Pictet, UBP, LGT, Partners Group at the tier 1-2 end. US AI-native challengers (Nevis, Avantos, advisory.ai) don't operate in Europe. WealthAi sits alone in the European Tier 3 quadrant. That's the open gap.

Speaker Notes

The UK alone has £5.5T of intergenerational wealth in motion (Brooks Macdonald). Globally, family offices grow from ~8,030 today to 10,000+ by 2030 holding $5.4T (Deloitte 2024). Our three initial markets (UK, Switzerland, Italy) represent approximately £600M in addressable annual revenue at our blended ACV, with 6% capture delivering £36M ARR. GCC expansion follows in 2027-2028. We go market by market with anchor reference clients. UK 2026, then Milan and Zurich 2027 where private banking density is highest. GCC 2027-28. US last, 2028+, once we have the proof points. Detailed expansion phase cards live in the reading deck.

Go-To-Market

Sales Motion & Team Build

A structured B2B funnel converts prospects via a cohort programme. Founder-led to Q2 2026, then the sales team activates Q3 2026 onwards.

TOP OF FUNNEL · SDR + Marketing + PR 30–50 conversations / cycle MIDDLE OF FUNNEL · Inside Sales 8–12 firms enter each cohort COHORT · Product, Tech, FDE 50–60% close to paid ★ CUSTOMER LIVE POST-SALE EXPANSION · Customer Success + Product 120%+ Net Revenue Retention
The cohort programme is the conversion engine. Closes 3–5x faster than linear sales for comparable deals.

How we sell and how the firm expands

Today (Q2 2026): V1 Assistant plus Compliance Agent sold as a bundle. The Assistant is the entry-level product. Compliance is the commercial wedge.

Q3 to Q4 2026: V2 Assistant productised. Agent range expands into Research, Investments, and Risk. Each new agent compounds the value for already-landed firms.

2027 and beyond: 10+ agents across front, middle, and back office. New clients start with the Assistant as their entry and add agents fit for their use case.

Expansion is driven by operational pull. Every agent returns real hours to a specific team. Compliance saves the MAR team the triage grind. Research frees analysts from manual screening. Advisory gives client-facing advisors their diary back. Once a firm sees one agent work, they want the next.

Speaker Notes

Our GTM is a structured B2B funnel converting prospects via a cohort programme, then expanding accounts through product-led growth. The cohort is the conversion engine: 8-12 firms in a 6-8 week programme together, anchor clients co-hosting, peer pressure driving commitment. Closing rates run 3-5x higher than linear sales cycles for comparable deals. Phase 1 is founder-led to Q2 2026 — Jason runs the first cohort with Saranac. The first 11 paying clients prove the model. From Q3 2026 the sales team activates: SDRs, inside sales, cohort delivery, CS, marketing and PR. The 11 clients are the proof, the playbook is the product, and the team that hires from Q3 onwards is running a proven system, not figuring it out.
