Franklin Templeton enters a multi-year strategic partnership with Wand AI.
The collaboration advances from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployment.
Wand AI's agentic AI will be used across investment research and operations.
The initiative is underpinned by rigorous governance and control frameworks.
By 2026, AI agents are expected to be integral to key enterprise workflows.
The goal is to achieve measurable value through enhanced efficiency and insights.
Over the past year, the collaboration has evolved from initial testing to live production deployments across multiple departments within Franklin Templeton. The initial focus has been on priority use cases for investment teams, with plans to expand Wand-powered agents into core enterprise workflows by 2026. This scaled deployment is designed to support investment research, boost operational efficiency, and drive digital transformation. “Our partnership with Wand AI brings agentic AI out of the lab and into live production – embedded across research, operations, and transformative initiatives,” said Vasundhara Chetluru, Head of AI Platform at Franklin Templeton.
A cornerstone of this partnership is the emphasis on a secure and governed framework for deploying AI at scale. Wand AI's technology provides the orchestration and management layer for what it terms an "Autonomous Workforce," ensuring that AI agents operate with transparency and can be centrally controlled. This allows Franklin Templeton to continuously identify and optimize AI-driven workflows in real-time within a complex, regulated environment. “Today's announcement with Franklin Templeton represents a pivotal milestone in this journey, showcasing how AI agents — when properly governed, orchestrated, and deployed as a unified agentic workforce — can seamlessly collaborate with human teams and operate at scale,” said Rotem Alaluf, CEO of Wand AI.
This enterprise-wide partnership positions Franklin Templeton at the forefront of AI adoption in asset management. By integrating a governed, scalable agentic AI workforce, the firm aims to achieve new levels of operational excellence, derive sharper investment insights, and maintain a competitive edge through technological innovation.
