Bridging the Advice Gap: How Aveni Assist Revolutionizes the UK Financial Advice Market with AI

As the financial advice market faces increased challenges in meeting consumer needs, the AI fintech company Aveni has released a new AI assistant called “Aveni Assist”, powered by GPT. The aim is to enhance the productivity of wealth and financial advisers by up to three times, which assists in supporting greater numbers of consumers while ensuring reliability and accuracy.

Aveni Assist is a generative AI-powered assistant that can undertake a wide range of tasks to support financial advisers. This includes attending meetings, writing investment reports, auto-populating CRM systems, and creating tailored customer emails. Additionally, the assistant can significantly speed up time to execution with instant compliance checks.

Challenges facing the financial advice market

Presently, the financial advice market is struggling to meet consumer needs, and a significant “advice gap” is approaching in the UK. Consumer debt keeps increasing, with 34% of people having no savings, and over a third having little or no pension provision for retirement. Seeking conventional financial advice is costly, making it unaffordable for many people, further widening the gap.

The Potential of Generative AI

According to Aveni, the widespread introduction of generative AI could not only support the ability to deliver the right advice, but also help meet the growing needs of UK consumers. By reducing the cost of advice and streamlining the delivery of services, AI-powered systems like Aveni Assist could bring professional financial advice within reach of many more consumers.

Seamless integration with top platforms

Aveni Assist is designed to seamlessly integrate with popular communication platforms like MS Teams and Zoom, ensuring that financial advisers can use them without difficulty. The assistant is trained in financial services and FCA-specific regulatory data, and all outputs derived from Aveni’s AI systems are compliant to ensure reliability and accuracy.

Aveni’s CEO Discusses the Potential of AI

Joseph Twigg, the CEO of Aveni, views AI as a game-changer in the financial services industry. “We started Aveni with the vision of delivering technology solutions that could genuinely transform the financial services sector. The UK financial advice market is the perfect place to start,” he said. He emphasizes that AI-based tools must be transparent, reliable, and free from bias to earn the trust of their users and to engage them.

As technology continues to iterate and evolve, AI-powered assistants like Aveni Assist are set to become an increasingly important tool in supporting financial advisers and addressing the advice gap in financial advice. The need for transparency, reliability, and the removal of bias in AI-based tools is critical to the success of this technology in gaining the trust of financial advisors and consumers alike. With Aveni Assist, the financial advice market can begin to deliver better services, greater access, and increased affordability.
