About the research
Advisor360° surveyed 300 financial advisors at registered investment advisors (RIAs), broker-dealers, and banks across the U.S. to better understand their perspectives on how artificial intelligence is shaping their work. Survey participants self-identified as being responsible for managing, on average, $548 million in client assets—either individually or as part of a team—and worked at firms with a median AUM of $65 billion. The email-based survey was fielded in Fall 2025 by FUSE Research Network on behalf of Advisor360°. Advisor360° and FUSE are separate and unaffiliated organizations.
