Join us: AI in investment advice and asset management – what will really change?

On Wednesday, May 20, DSI and VV&A are co-hosting a session during Fund Awards 2026: AI in investment advice and asset management – what will really change? An afternoon where we go beyond the hype and talk about what AI now concretely means for your daily work as a financial professional.

Because AI has long ceased to be about the future. It is on the shop floor, in analyses, in advice. The role of the financial professional is shifting from content expert to director, with AI as an ever smarter co-pilot. At the same time, the pressure on your added value is increasing: if AI generates analyses and advice, your distinctiveness lies precisely in human interpretation, duty of care and trust. Because AI is not accountable; the final responsibility remains with you.

The impact is also becoming more visible in practice. AI is moving from the back office to the heart of the organization, bringing new questions around regulation and risk: from bias in models to AI-generated complaints. And clients themselves are coming to the conversation with AI-generated advice.

These are exactly the themes that DSI also puts at the center of its dialogue document CTRL SHFT – AI in the investment industry, in which we explore with the industry how professionalism and integrity are changing as systems increasingly co-determine. The session on May 20 is an opportunity to take that dialogue further. Not on paper, but in conversation with industry colleagues. Curious about the background? Read the dialogue document here.
