Abstract

Robotic advisors (RAs) are investment programs, which use trading algorithms to automate investments by users’ risk/return preferences. Despite many advantages (e.g., RAs are less costly than traditional financial advisors), RAs are increasingly criticized for using oversimplified self-assessment questionnaires that result in inaccurate assessments of users’ risk profiles and, hence, investments that do not live up to investors’ expectations. We tackle this issue by proposing a voice-enabled RA for personalized wealth management, capable of recognizing users’ speech and sentiments due to Natural Language Processing that is moreover capable of reacting on real-time market developments due to direct access and processing of financial market information. We conduct a thorough requirements analysis that guides the design of a conceptual model and the ecosystem surrounding our voice-enabled RA. While future research needs to develop and evaluate advanced prototypes, our work constitutes the first step toward an RA, capable of providing truly personalized investment proposals.

Toward Voice-Enabled Robotic Advisory for Personalized Wealth Management

Robotic advisors (RAs) are investment programs, which use trading algorithms to automate investments by users’ risk/return preferences. Despite many advantages (e.g., RAs are less costly than traditional financial advisors), RAs are increasingly criticized for using oversimplified self-assessment questionnaires that result in inaccurate assessments of users’ risk profiles and, hence, investments that do not live up to investors’ expectations. We tackle this issue by proposing a voice-enabled RA for personalized wealth management, capable of recognizing users’ speech and sentiments due to Natural Language Processing that is moreover capable of reacting on real-time market developments due to direct access and processing of financial market information. We conduct a thorough requirements analysis that guides the design of a conceptual model and the ecosystem surrounding our voice-enabled RA. While future research needs to develop and evaluate advanced prototypes, our work constitutes the first step toward an RA, capable of providing truly personalized investment proposals.
