The Agentic Bank

Financial Planning Agent

⬡ Compass Builds and stress-tests goal-based financial plans.
◆ Assistive Specialist

Takes the client's goals, balance sheet and constraints and builds a full plan (retirement projections, funding gaps, Monte Carlo on the outcomes), then explains the trade-offs in plain language. Emits a stress-tested plan fed to the advisor agent and the suitability gate.

Evals & guardrails

  • Projection assumptions validated against the firm's sanctioned capital-market assumptions.
  • Plan recommendations gated by the suitability-oversight agent before presentation.
  • The agent produces the plan and analysis; the advisor agent makes the recommendation, the oversight agent gates it.

Frontier edge

  • World-model simulation: runs counterfactual life-paths (early retirement, market crash at 62, long-term-care shock) and shows how each bends the funding curve.
  • Causal reasoning: attributes a funding gap to the actual driver (savings rate vs. sequence-of-returns) rather than correlating it with a single bad year.
  • Continual learning: refreshes the plan automatically when held-away data changes, consolidating which glidepath options the advisor agents actually adopt.

A sample run

Trigger Client, 54, wants to retire at 60 with a known spending target.
  1. 1Aggregate held and held-away assets into one balance sheet.
  2. 2Project funding under base, stress and longevity scenarios (Monte Carlo).
  3. 3Identify the funding gap and model two contribution / glidepath options.
  4. 4Draft the plan with trade-offs explained in plain language.
Output A stress-tested plan with a 78% base-case success probability and two remediation options, handed to the advisor agent and the suitability gate.
