But the investment strategies\/ideas devised and managed by them are something which can\u2019t be only developed by computers themselves. To suggest your investment strategy and then manage your money, robot-advisers use a human algorithm\u2014a complex mathematical formula that considers three main elements: 1) the historical data of assets 2) Information you\u2019ve provided about your investing goals, timeline, and 3) What is your principal; and a menu of low-cost investments, primarily index funds and ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of this information, the algorithm decides the best way to achieve your financial goals. It will suggest an allocation in terms of different types of assets likr stocks, bonds, and cash, then over time buy and sell specific investments to make sure your asset allocation goals are met.<\/p>\n<p>Because the various robot-\u00adadviser platforms draw on the same historical data and offer comparable ETFs and index funds, the portfolios they suggest for investors with similar profiles may differ little from one another. For example, no matter which robot-\u00adadviser a young investor who doesn\u2019t expect to retire for several decades, he will probably be recommended a portfolio that\u2019s almost entirely invested in equities (or stocks). That\u2019s because over the long-term, stocks have outperformed other investments such as bonds and commodities, offering someone with more than a few years to go until retirement time to absorb the higher risk and maximize gains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reference:\u00a0http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/personal-investing\/rise-of-the-robo-adviser\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robot Advisors functionality: Trusting your retirement savings with a computer might be a frightening task.
