What excites you most about WealthTech?

I’m encouraged by how WealthTech has opened up wealth management services to so many who are in need of sound advice – that’s every person who transacts in society, not just the traditionally wealthy. I’m excited about how the breadth and depth of wealth management services will continue to meet and exceed the needs of those underserved through advances in technology. The team at F2, through our client engagements and research, are steadily removing obstacles to move the industry along faster.

What would you tell someone just starting out?

Advice requires context. You’ll receive advice and guidance from too many sources – from long conversations with workplace veterans to short and snappy LinkedIn posts. Sometimes it will even be conflicting! However, you are the expert in “you” and have the knowledge and power to discern what advice you employ for your life’s journey.

Predict the future—what do you think WealthTech will allow advisors to do in five years that they can’t do now?

This may be a bit of a stretch, but I’m hoping financial advisors will be able to, in some way, disrupt the personal real estate industry and open up accessibility to home ownership for more people.
