The recommendation by the Robo-advisor is acceptable but I still prefer to do my own research, build the portfolio by myself and monitor the performance. The robo-advisor, which recommends mutual funds with a mix of equity and debt assets, is more suitable for retail investors who don't mind a "black box" investment model and have no time to monitor the performance frequently.
•SE7EN• : So this robo advisor risk profiling, this is just a suggestion only? not a robo advisor just like others that help to manage funds?
ZnWC OP •SE7EN• : This robo-advisor helps to analyse your risk profile and recommend a suitable mutual fund for you. The mutual fund which is managed by the fund manager will "adjust" the portfolio for you - all done automatically. Unlike other robo-advisors, the fee is factored into the return so it appears that you are not paying any fee at all.
Sound good? Before you subscribe, I suggest you check the volatility risk, don't just look at the high % annualised return (not interest rate pa). You may need to hold the mutual fund for 1-3 years to earn any profit. This is not a financial advice so please DYODD.
•SE7EN• ZnWC OP : But is it able to change the fund?
ZnWC OP •SE7EN• : I don't think so.
