        Next Wave: Agentic Wealth Management - Powered by OpenWealth API

        This session explores how wealth management is moving beyond traditional applications towards AI agents as a new interface layer for advisers and clients. It examines how the OpenWealth API, as an industry-driven standard, enables interoperability across custodians, portfolio management systems and client platforms, and introduces the OpenWealth Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a governed, auditable and permissioned tool layer for agentic use cases. In a live showcase attendees will see a wealth manager agent query portfolios, detect investment strategy drift and initiate rebalancing through OpenWealth MCP. The discussion will then look ahead to the governance, liability and multi-custodian implications of agent-ready wealth infrastructure, while inviting banks, fintechs and AI providers to engage with the OpenWealth community and help shape the next generation of our API standard.

        [Invite-only] Unlocking the Market: Tokenisation and the Retail Investment Opportunity - Powered by Robinhood

        BoardroomBoardroom, Level 00, Ground FloorInvite-OnlyModerator

        About this session

        European households maintain high savings rates, yet retail participation in capital markets remains significantly lower than in other major economies. While the EU’s Savings and Investment Union (SIU) provides a visionary policy backdrop, structural barriers—including high fees, share price accessibility, and complex market entry—continue to block the path for the everyday investor. The core challenge is not behavioural; it is a "knowing-doing" gap where the desire to invest is stifled by informational and structural friction.

        Join senior leadership from Robinhood and a curated group of executives for a first look at newly released research into the motivations and barriers of the European retail investor. This session will deep-dive into the practical application of stock tokens - MiFID II-regulated instruments backed by listed equities—as a scalable solution to democratise market access.
