Robo-Advisory: The Thrills Build
Digital mobility and decision-support tools are creating in-house opportunities for financial advisors of varying backgrounds and expertise.
Boston, May 11, 2017 – Robo-advisor platforms offer retail investors low-cost access to professional investment management, a convenient self-service user interface, and, if desired, centralization of assets. The expectation is that these platforms will grow and develop in line with various client-segment requirements, but robo-advisory platforms are still climbing a public-awareness curve, and account volume and size are not yet generating abundant wealth for the platforms. Can retail robo-advisor platforms offer a significant benefit to the target market and work their way to profitability?
Based on early 2017 Aite Group phone interviews with U.K. and U.S. financial institution executives, retail robo-advisor platforms, and business-to-business robo-advisory technology vendors, this research looks at the robo-advisor platform’s developing use and its potential evolution of the investment offering as well as the spectrum of technology supporting the effort.
