Financial and investment analysts

Reshaping now
57.2%of tasks show up in AI use
-5.9%job postings vs a year ago

Financial and investment analysts score 57%, one of the highest figures in finance. Building models, summarising filings and writing market commentary are tasks AI handles well. What it can’t do is own a recommendation when money is on the line. Entry-level analysis is where this bites first, so firms will need to rethink how they train their next generation of analysts.

AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
