# Anthropic launches Claude for Financial Advisors

Full title: Anthropic launches Claude for Financial Advisors: connectors to Schwab, BlackRock, Vanguard and 20+ wealth platforms plus a plugin of advisor skills

On Oct 27, 2026 Anthropic released Claude for Financial Advisors: new connectors to custodians, asset managers and wealth-tech platforms (among them Charles Schwab, BlackRock, Vanguard, Franklin Templeton, J.P. Morgan Asset Management's 55ip, MSCI, FactSet, iCapital, Addepar, Envestnet and Orion) and a plugin of skills for meeting prep, rebalance reviews, estate and tax briefs, post-meeting follow-up and SEC Marketing Rule screening. Investment recommendations and client communications stay subject to the advisor's approval.

## Key facts
- Connectors (new): Addepar, BlackRock (Advisor Center), CAIS, Charles Schwab (Schwab Advisor Services custodial data), Conquest Planning, Envestnet (Tamarac, MoneyGuide), FactSet, FINNY, Flourish, Franklin Templeton, iCapital, Invesco, J.P. Morgan Asset Management (55ip tax transitions), Jump, MSCI, Nevis, Orion (with Redtail CRM), SS&C Black Diamond, Wealthbox, Wealth.com, Vanguard, Zocks
- Plugin: one install bundling skills and connectors (works with BlackRock, Schwab, Addepar, Envestnet, iCapital, Orion, Wealthbox, Wealth.com and Zocks); skills for advisor onboarding, alternative-investments brief, compliance and AI policy, estate and tax brief, portfolio rebalance review, post-meeting notes, pre-meeting prep, prospect intake; published in a public skill repository
- Controls: Claude prepares briefs and drafts and stages CRM updates or client messages for approval; 'Investment recommendations, client communications, compliance determinations, and other regulated activities remain subject to human review and approval'; the compliance skill screens client-facing language against the SEC Marketing Rule
- Context cited by Anthropic: a typical advisory practice spends a sixth of its time in client meetings (Kitces research); over four in ten US workers don't know where to get good financial advice (EBRI 2026)

## What happened

Anthropic added a wealth-management vertical to its industry packages (financial services, legal, life sciences, nonprofits),
built from MCP connectors offered by the firms that hold advisors' client data, and a plugin of task skills.

## Why it matters

Custodians and asset managers such as Schwab, BlackRock and Vanguard now expose client and fund data to a general-purpose AI agent,
which moves AI into regulated advice workflows, with human approval as the stated safeguard.
