If AI gives advisors time back, what should we do with it?

That was one of the questions Elizabeth Shabaker explored at Future Proof Festival earlier this week. She joined Dr. Jordan Hutchison of RFG Advisory on Charles Schwab Advisor Services' Women & Allies panel to talk about how AI can support our careers, teams, and client relationships.

Liz discussed how we can use AI to create efficiencies while maintaining the human judgment and personal relationships that are so important to our work. We're exploring and implementing AI at Versant Capital Management, Inc., and Liz said she left Future Proof with plenty of ideas as we continue developing our own approach.

Thank you to Jordan and the moderator, Leslie Y. Tabor of Schwab Advisor Services, for a great conversation.

Runway for a Cure brought more than fashion to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame earlier this month. The event benefited the American Cancer Society, and each model brought a personal connection to the cause. Together, they made the evening a celebration of hope.

Versant Managing Director Brittyn Russell Brender was among them. She’s a supermodel at Versant, too, for the way she shows up for her colleagues and clients. It was wonderful to see her take the runway for a cause close to her heart. We’re proud of you, Brittyn!

Investment management is only one part of the picture.

In a recent Forbes Finance Council article, Versant Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer Royce Ramey, CFA®, shares his perspective on what sophisticated clients often value from their wealth advisors as their financial lives become more complex.

In many cases, these clients were underserved at prior firms and value open communication to discuss the issues on their minds.

The biggest financial decisions in a woman's life rarely happen on a spreadsheet. They happen during life's transitions.

A business sale. A promotion. Divorce. The loss of a spouse. An inheritance. Caring for aging parents. Preparing for children’s futures. In those moments, financial decisions become connected to every other part of life.

We're proud to have Liz Shabaker, Jennifer Kirksey, Brittyn Russell Brender, and Aimee Williams-Ramey featured in D Magazine's Women of Influence edition.
