Hey guys, just signed up for Wealthfront and Betterment, two of these relatively new robo investing advisors that have low fees compared to traditional advisors. Some people argue there's not much value for the fees.
Reason I decided to give it a try I'm sick of just trying to pick individual stocks and even when people say get a no load vanguard there's so many which to get. Sure you could go do the same thing yourself for free but I like that it's a very hands off approach and also really like the idea of tax harvesting and auto rebalancing. I think its worth it just for those two things. I probably would not use it for a 401k or IRA, only for taxable money.
I just funded my accounts a few days ago so can't really comment on returns but overall I like the platforms and sites.
Reason I'm posting this I often see people with similar questions as myself such as what stocks are good or what funds should I buy, things like that so these services among others kind of simplify it for newbies, people who want a hands off approach or people just getting started investing.
There's a lot of services like this popping up but these two seem to be the most popular and well reviewed. Some other options are Covestor or Personal Capital among others.
If anyone else has had good or bad experiences would be curious to hear.
