Comparative words (e.g., more) and hyphens

Should "more" be hyphenated in phrases like "Today, there are more-sophisticated wealth management models" to clarify meaning? What about the simpler phrase "more-sophisticated investors."

Thanks for any feedback.

The short answer is no. In this case, the word 'more' is an adverb.
