Episode summary
New Technology Can Help Advisors Succeed
Summary
Jorge Tarraso says Libretto is designed to help advisers deliver more sophisticated advice to more clients by taking methods once reserved for very large accounts and making them scalable. He contrasts the platform with basic risk questionnaires and Monte Carlo simulations, saying Libretto instead centers on a wealth allocation process that helps clients identify what matters most and divide wealth across personal, family, and social objectives.
He says the firm’s approach is built around the full advisor workflow: onboarding, strategy creation, refinement, and client communication. A new AI onboarding tool can ingest files from systems like e-money, MoneyGuide, and RightCapital, plus intake forms and statements, and generate an initial draft strategy. Tarraso says an AI-powered strategy assistant then supports the rest of the process by flagging missing data, identifying planning opportunities, answering questions in chat, and summarizing key action items.
Tarraso emphasizes that Libretto uses AI to reduce friction and scale personalization without removing advisor judgment. He also points to a client letter generator that creates personalized letters in the adviser’s voice, with accessible language and visuals, and he says more features are coming that will make it easier to move from a data dump to good advice.
