For Swiss independent asset managers

Use AI without weakening client confidentiality, adviser responsibility or operational control.

Cytria helps independent asset managers identify current AI exposure, define governance controls and test one internal workflow without automating investment advice.

No client portfolio or confidential documents required for the first conversation.

Current exposure patterns in wealth management

Advisers and analysts often seek to increase productivity by using public tools to synthesize market analyses or read portfolio structures. Lacking formal rules, client data can transit through external servers, presenting direct regulatory challenges under FINMA circulars and nLPD constraints.

Confidentiality and governance risks

  • FINMA Outsourcing Compliance: Unchecked cloud integrations fail client-data outsourcing requirements.
  • Suitability & Advisory Risks: Hallucinated research could lead to inappropriate advice.
  • No Verification Logs: Absence of audit trails for generated investment memos.

Best first internal workflows

Start with secure, internal workflows that augment RM efficiency without automating decision-making or portfolio adjustments.

1. Relationship-Manager Briefing

Input: Approved internal macro notes and research sheets.

Assisted Action: Draft client-meeting briefing bullet points.

Human Review: RM reviews and validates accuracy before client meeting.

Source / Log: Citations map back directly to internal research publication date.

Prohibited: No autonomous advisory emails or portfolio pitches.

2. Policy & Product Knowledge Search

Input: Compliance handbooks and approved fund factsheets.

Assisted Action: Retrieve investment restrictions and tax status.

Human Review: Compliance officer confirms product constraints before trade booking.

Source / Log: Verbatim extracts shown alongside source document revision date.

Prohibited: No automatic approvals of non-compliant assets.

3. Investment-Committee Preparation

Input: Raw market indicator logs and broker thematic notes.

Assisted Action: Synthesize draft agendas and investment arguments.

Human Review: Committee members review, edit, and vote on strategy.

Source / Log: Audit logs document sources and draft changes.

Prohibited: No automated trade orders or portfolio rebalancings.

4. Research Summarisation

Input: External broker research papers and macroeconomic files.

Assisted Action: Extract core changes in holding allocations.

Human Review: Portfolio manager reads summary and cross-references original papers.

Source / Log: PDF page numbers cited next to every statement.

Prohibited: No direct adjustments to the model portfolio without approval.

5. Onboarding Completeness Check

Input: ID files, self-declaration forms, and KYC profiles.

Assisted Action: Detect missing fields, signature gaps, or mismatching addresses.

Human Review: KYC specialist verifies gaps and approves client onboarding status.

Source / Log: Discrepancy report logged against check list.

Prohibited: No autonomous onboarding approvals or FINMA registry submissions.

6. Operational Exception Routing

Input: Settlement discrepancy logs and broker exception tickets.

Assisted Action: Classify ticket severity and suggest the operations owner.

Human Review: Ops manager checks routing and assigns the ticket.

Source / Log: Exception flags stored in transaction database logs.

Prohibited: No autonomous trade corrections or execution reversals.

What must remain under adviser responsibility

Advisers must retain final decision-making power. AI is restricted to summarising and draft support.

Exclusions: Cytria does not build autonomous investment recommenders or remove human compliance reviews.
