I don't know if I'm overcomplicating a seemingly simple issue but I've always found networking in this heavily made dominant field so hard. I've noticed wealth managers get a drink together after work one on one, but if I feel like if I were to ask a colleague or someone from a networking event to do so or vice versa, there would be a question of if it was meant professionally or romantically. How do you get past this unnecessary misunderstanding and actually get talking?

It's pretty tricky, I feel you. The only way around is to just be shameless, straightforward, and super confident in your tone. Don't let your body language or tone give off anything but ptofessionalism, I think all humans are experts of body language.
