To better understand how AI is playing out on the ground and where technology is leading, Forbes Insights and Temenos surveyed 310 wealth managers and high-net-worth individual investors in March 2018. The survey canvassed 219 high-level executives — a quarter of whom were in the C-Suite, 37% of whom were heads of asset management and 16% of whom were heads of business — at investment banks (71%) and at private banks (29%) as well as 91 high-net-worth individuals (75% had a net worth between £1 million and £9 million). Respondents were drawn across all geographies with more than three-quarters of executives from Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
