Financial advisor accelerates Morningstar research inside Schwab

Vibe AI Browser Co-Pilot pulls Morningstar data from Schwab, builds a clean comparison table, and drafts a client-ready recommendation memo.

Goal

Compare three funds across risk, fees, and trailing performance before a client call.

Tooling

Schwab portal + Morningstar reports + Vibe AI Browser Co-Pilot.

Outcome

Research prep cut from 2 hours to 15 minutes with a ready-to-share summary.

Workflow story

The advisor opens Schwab and asks Vibe: "Pull Morningstar data for VFINX, VTSAX, and SWPPX. Compare fees, 1/3/5-year performance, and risk metrics. Summarize tradeoffs for a conservative client." Vibe navigates the reports, extracts the relevant tables, and normalizes them into a single comparison view.

Next, Vibe drafts a memo with a clear recommendation, citing the lowest expense ratio, volatility, and performance consistency. The advisor reviews the memo, adds a personal note, and sends it to the client ahead of the meeting.

How it works

  1. Open Schwab and navigate to Morningstar reports for target funds.
  2. Extract fee, risk, and 1/3/5-year performance data.
  3. Normalize metrics into a comparison table.
  4. Draft a recommendation memo with tradeoffs and citations.
  5. Review and approve the memo before sharing with clients.
