As WealthTech platforms increasingly shape investor behaviour through nudges, model portfolios, and algorithmic recommendations, the boundary between execution-only services and advisory responsibility is becoming harder to defend. Firms are facing growing regulatory scrutiny around suitability, mis-selling risk, and outcome-based accountability, often without clear guidance on where liability begins and ends. This panel focuses on the practical challenges WealthTech firms face in navigating this grey zone- determining when digital journeys cross into advice, managing suitability at scale without aligning product design with fiduciary expectations, and assigning responsibility across platforms, distributors, and technology providers.
