Artificial intelligence may be a useful tool <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40942266/amazon-launches-ai-assistant-codenamed-project-amelia">for financial advisors</a>, but it will not solve their every problem.
There are three ways that financial advisors can use AI to their utmost benefit, AssetMark and Wealthmanagement.com say in a report: optimizing lead generation, segmenting the market and improving client communication.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lead Generation</h2>
AI tools have proven to increase lead generation by as much as 50% and lower costs by as much as 60%, the report said.
&#8220;AI tools can build profiles based on names, publicly available data, and data from third-party vendors,&#8221; the report stated.
&#8220;These profiles can be compared to metrics for successful conversions, helping advisors focus attention on prospects who are more likely to become high-value clients.&#8221; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Improved Market Segmentation</h2>
AI also helps to further segment prospects based on their unique needs, the report said.
AI and predictive analytics can also help financial advisors to quickly and accurately segment their clients based on their attributes, such as assets under management, demographics and profession.
&#8220;AI tools also help identify patterns and trends advisors can use to better understand their clients' needs and preferences,&#8221; the report said.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40937593/oracle-cloudworld-highlights-ai-driven-tech-services-but-revenue-growth-requires-patience-analyst">Oracle CloudWorld Highlights &#8216;AI-Driven Tech Services,&#8217; But Revenue Growth Requires Patience: Analyst</a>
The ability to predict client behavior and preferences enables financial advisors to further use AI to create targeted marketing campaigns and messaging that resonate with their audience,&#8221; the report said.
&#8220;Segmentation can help advisors identify potential high-value clients, allowing them to pursue leads strategically and allocate their marketing resources more efficiently by aligning them with key growth drivers.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Better Communication</h2>
AI tools can also help advisors to prioritize and target their communications with their clients, the report said.
&#8220;Predictive tools help advisors reach out to clients proactively to provide solutions at the right time — sometimes even before clients realize they need them,&#8221; it said.
&#8220;Getting the right information to the right clients at the right time is often the key to ensuring clients take action.&#8221;
AI can also give advisors a hand at creating engaging content for clients and also help them to write emails, social media content and website copy for clients more efficiently.
&#8220;Advisors can gather questions from clients, for instance, and use AI to generate custom content based on their inquiries that are specific to niche client needs,&#8221; the report said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Tools &#8216;May Be Useful To Some Extent&#8217;</h2>
But AI is not the end-all, be-all solution for financial advisors, Canadian financial planner Jason Pereira <a href="https://www.kitces.com/blog/generative-ai-artificial-intelligence-advisor-technology-chat-gpt-software-innovation/">wrote</a> for Kitces.
&#8220;It may be helpful for advisors to take a realistic approach to the value that AI tools will provide, especially in an environment where technology providers often make bold claims about their solutions&#8217; ability to save time and reduce costs,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;Some of the capabilities of today&#8217;s AI tools (e.g., automating workflows or retrieving client information using a chatbot) may be useful to some extent, but if the processes that they replace don&#8217;t take that much time to begin with, then the tools&#8217; benefits may not justify the additional cost to implement them.&#8221;
It will most likely take 10 years for AI tools to develop to the point where they can help financial advisors in a meaningful way, such as reducing headcount by 50%, he said.

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes Pure Storage, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSTG#NYSE">PSTG</a>), adding that it is a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PSTG/earnings">fabulous&#8221; company</a>.
Pure Storage is expected to host a conference call on Wednesday, May 29 to discuss its financial results for the first quarter fiscal year 2025.
&#8220;Anything connected with EVs right now is a no go,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALB#NYSE">ALB</a>).
On May 1, Albemarle reported mixed results for the first quarter.
When asked about AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVAV#NASDAQ">AVAV</a>), he said, &#8220;We've been behind AeroVironment forever, and the reason is that they make drones that are much less expensive than the other stuff the military buys.&#8221;
On March 4, AeroVironment said third-quarter revenue increased 39% year-over-year to $186.6 million, which beat the consensus estimate of $170.625 million.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUS#NYSE">NUS</a>) is an &#8220;overvalued&#8221; stock even at these prices.
On May 8, Nu Skin Enterprises posted weaker-than-expected quarterly results.
AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AB#NYSE">AB</a>) is a &#8220;very well-run&#8221; company, Cramer said. &#8220;Always surprised that it is as inexpensive as it is.&#8221;
On April 25, AllianceBernstein posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings results.
When asked about MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Jim Cramer said, &#8220;If you want Bitcoin, don't buy MicroStrategy.&#8221;
On April 29, MicroStrategy reported worse-than-expected first-quarter financial results.
&#8220;These are infrastructure plays that are working because that money is starting to pour in from the federal government. That's why that's a winner,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRL#NASDAQ">STRL</a>).
On May 6, Sterling Infrastructure reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing AllianceBernstein Holding's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AllianceBernstein Holding's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.78%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
