HSBC<\/a> has launched an AI platform for its relationship managers in Malaysia to analyse and summarise investment data, following a bank-commissioned survey showing that 85% of affluent Malaysian investors use AI for finance.<\/p>\n

However, 58% still prefer a combination of AI and human expertise when making financial decisions.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by HSBC and conducted by Ipsos, the survey covered around 10,000 affluent and high-net-worth individuals across 10 markets.<\/p>\n

Malaysia ranked among the top three markets for AI adoption in finance at 85%, level with mainland China and trailing India at 86%.<\/p>\n

Despite high AI usage, financial professionals and institutions remain the leading source of investment ideas for 65% of Malaysian respondents.<\/p>\n

Human advisors also have a greater influence on financial decisions, with 85% seeking reassurance and 76% relying on their strategic expertise.<\/p>\n

Trusting humans to catch AI errors<\/p>\n

Human oversight remains particularly important when investors use AI-generated information. Around 31% rely on financial professionals to spot mistakes in AI-generated data, while another 31% value personalised interpretations of complex information. A further 30% seek human judgement and validation of AI findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology gives us speed, but human connection builds trust. The future of banking lies in a seamless partnership between AI-driven insights and human expertise,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

said Linda Yip, Country Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking at HSBC Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBy pairing advanced analytics with human relationships, we aim to support our clients with the confidence to navigate, invest and pursue growth in an increasingly complex financial landscape,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yip added.<\/p>\n

Generational adoption and risk appetite<\/p>\n

Millennials are the heaviest users of AI for financial and investment decisions at 89%, followed by Gen Z at 86% and Generation X at 85%. Baby Boomers report an adoption rate of 78%.<\/p>\n

Overall, 58% of Malaysian respondents prefer a hybrid approach to financial decision-making.<\/p>\n

Among Gen Z investors, AI is used to analyse portfolio performance by 61% and generate new investment ideas by 57%. For Millennials, both tasks are cited by 53% of respondents.<\/p>\n

AI adoption also appears to be influencing investor sentiment. 57% say the technology makes them feel more in control of their investments, compared with 21% who feel less in control.<\/p>\n

More than half, or 54%, say AI makes them more willing to take calculated risks, more than double the 25% who say it makes them more cautious.<\/p>\n

To support this hybrid approach, HSBC Malaysia has launched Wealth Intelligence, a generative AI platform that analyses data from the bank\u2019s Chief Investment Office, market commentary and unit trust funds.<\/p>\n

Designed for internal use by relationship managers, the platform aims to provide timely and relevant information to support client conversations.<\/p>\n

Wealth Intelligence does not itself provide investment advice or recommendations to customers.<\/p>\n
