Deep dives
Challenges of Current Financial Advising
The current model of financial advising primarily relies on human experts, which inherently leads to complications in accessibility and cost. Providing personalized financial advice requires a deep understanding of both financial services and individual client needs, which can be time-consuming and expensive. As a result, many financial advisors operate as salespeople, creating conflicts of interest that can compromise the quality of advice given. This scarcity of unbiased and affordable financial guidance limits individuals' ability to receive the support necessary for their complex financial lives.
