Why use the robo-advisor service?

  • When you are starting your investment journey, your requirements are usually pretty simple and straight forward.
  • Long-term investment goals or objectives require little complex ongoing input.
  • A lower fee structure will allow you to accumulate and build your wealth more quickly.
  • You can access a well diversified, balanced portfolio, managed at a fraction of the cost of a full service human advisor.
  • Why pay high ongoing fees when your strategy barely changes over the medium to long-term.
  • You can always upgrade your service as and when your needs change and you require more complex solutions.

Why combine with White Investments?

  • Robo-advisors need accurate inputs to make your strategy useful – Rubbish in means rubbish out.
  • Robo-advisors will not adjust your strategy automatically when your needs or requirements change or be able to help you understand how changes impact on your planning process.
  • The role of a good investment advisor is not to try and choose the best performing funds or products. Their role is to understand your needs and match those to funds or products that will work accurately towards genuinely achieving your goals.
  • Robo-advisors will not be there to help you manage your behavioural risks when markets react outside of your expectations. 
  • You cannot pick up the phone and speak with a robo-advisor to understand your portfolio.

It is not the drill that we want but the hole.

It is not the investment itself that has value, but rather what that investment allows or achieves which is most valuable.
