    The WealthStack Podcast: Building the Modern Investment Management Stack with Sterling Perkins

    Wealth management firms are being asked to support more assets, deliver greater personalization and provide clients with increasingly real-time experiences. But behind the scenes, many investment teams are still operating across disconnected portfolio management, trading, CRM, accounting, compliance and reporting systems. As artificial intelligence moves from copilots and chatbots toward agents that can actually perform work, that fragmented infrastructure may become an even bigger constraint. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Sterling Perkins, director of solutions consulting at Ridgeline, to explore what happens when the investment management tech stack is rebuilt around a single system of record. Key takeaways: Why embedded AI with access to client, portfolio and transaction context could have an advantage over bolted-on tools Why AI could allow firms to grow AUM without increasing headcount How Ridgeline moves portfolio workflows from modeling through compliance, trading, accounting and billing How firms should think about governance, permissions and human oversight as AI agents take on more responsibility  Why the capacity created by AI can be reinvested in client relationships  Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Sterling Perkins: LinkedIn: Sterling Perkins LinkedIn: Ridgeline Website: Ridgeline About Our Guest: Sterling Perkins is the Director of Solutions Consulting at Ridgeline, where he works at the intersection of wealth management and financial technology.

    The WealthStack Podcast: How AI Can Uncover Hidden Portfolio Risk With Af Malhotra

    Investment teams have access to more data than ever, but more information does not necessarily mean better insight. Analysts still spend enormous amounts of time gathering filings, reading disclosures, comparing earnings calls and reconciling information across disconnected systems. At the same time, market volatility, geopolitical risk and rapidly changing investor expectations are making traditional, backward-looking portfolio analysis increasingly difficult to rely on alone. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Af Malhotra, Founder and CEO of ReN, to explore how AI can help investment teams move from backward-looking analysis toward more forward-looking risk intelligence. They discuss ReN’s approach to analyzing portfolios, why domain-specialized AI matters in financial services, how automation could reshape investment research and what the future of embedded, agentic investment intelligence could look like. Key takeaways: How AI can help uncover portfolio risks hidden across filings, disclosures and earnings calls Why investment research is moving beyond backward-looking performance data How ReN uses AI to identify inconsistencies, anomalies and changing risk signals Why domain-specialized language models may be better suited for high-stakes financial decisions How automation and agentic AI could reshape the future of investment research and advisor workflows Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Podcast: StraightTalk (ST) with Af Malhotra Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Aftab (Af) Malhotra:  LinkedIn: Aftab (Af) Malhotra Instagram: Af Malhotra (@afmalhotra) X: Af Malhotra (@AfMalhotra) LinkedIn: ReN Website: ReN Website: Af Malhotra About Our Guest: Af Malhotra is a tech founder, active investor, and dedicated philanthropist.

    The WealthStack Podcast: Helping Advisors Serve Business Owners with RISR’s Jason Early

    For many business owners, the company represents far more than a line item on a balance sheet. It is their largest source of wealth, income, identity and legacy.

In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Jason Early, founder and CEO of RISR, to explore how technology and artificial intelligence are helping advisors bring greater clarity to business owner planning. They discuss how advisors can capture and analyze business data, identify risks hiding inside legal and financial documents, and begin building trusted relationships long before a liquidity event. Key takeaways: How advisors can bring privately held businesses more fully into the financial planning process How AI-powered document analysis can uncover gaps in buy-sell agreements, operating agreements and insurance policies Why valuation is only the starting point for conversations around wealth, risk, succession and exit planning How understanding business value changes retirement, tax and wealth planning conversations Why advisors who intentionally serve business owners often build stronger long-term relationships Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Jason Early: LinkedIn: Jason Early LinkedIn: RISR Website: RISR About Our Guest: Jason Early is the Founder and CEO of RISR, a technology platform that helps financial advisors better serve business owners through business valuation, succession planning, risk analysis, and AI-powered planning tools.

    The WealthStack Podcast: How AI Is Reshaping Private Market Investing with Anna Joo Fee

    Private markets are moving closer to the core of the wealth management conversation, but the experience around accessing, evaluating and explaining those opportunities remains highly fragmented. As advisors face growing client interest in alternatives, pre-IPO companies and more personalized investment opportunities, the need for better education, due diligence, transparency and portfolio context has never been greater. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Anna Joo Fee, CEO and founder of Goodfin, to explore how AI is changing the private markets experience. They discuss why access alone is not enough, how agentic AI can help advisors and investors navigate complex information, and why the future of private wealth may bring investing, tax, planning and private markets into a more connected ecosystem.

    The WealthStack Podcast: The AI Workforce Era with Andrei Pop

    As firms move beyond artificial intelligence notetaking, prep tools and basic automation, the bigger opportunity may be rethinking how work gets done across the entire organization, from the front office to the back office. What happens when the goal is not doing more, but giving people room to do better human work?
