How AI can help you monitor what your wealth manager isn't showing you

• Wealth managers tend to send statements designed for compliance, not for clarity. Connect your accounts to Truthifi Connect and ask Claude or ChatGPT to translate your custodian statement into plain English: what's actually held, what each line costs, what the year-over-year change looks like.

• Ask your agent to compare your manager's net-of-fee return against the appropriate benchmark for the past 1, 3, and 5 years. If you're paying for outperformance and the chart says you're getting underperformance, that's a conversation worth scheduling.

• For the firms that don't aggregate well, work around them. Have your agent flag any account whose data isn't pulling cleanly through your aggregator and assemble the workaround: manual upload, statement parsing, or direct API.
