Description



About the Book



"A robo-advisor (also sometimes spelled as roboadvisor) is a digital platform that provides automated, algorithm-driven financial planning and investment services with little to no human supervision. A typical robo-advisor asks questions about your financial situation and future goals through an online survey. It then uses the data to offer advice and automatically invest for you"--

From the Back Cover



PRAISE FOR THE LITTLE BOOK OF ROBO INVESTING

"Robo Investment Advisers provide investors with everything professional wealth managers dispense at a fraction of the cost. MacBride and Liu explain, in an accessible and user-friendly style, how Robo Advisers enable investors to achieve optimal investment fund selection, broad diversification, rebalancing, and tax loss harvesting, and to gain unconflicted investment advice. This gem of a book should be required reading for everyone seeking to enhance their financial security."
--BURTON G. MALKIEL, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street (50th anniversary edition, 2023)

"Here are two secrets to success in investing. The first is to focus on low cost, low fees, low taxes indexing (which also gives you top quartile results over the long term). The second is, as President Obama famously said, 'Don't do stupid stuff!' and avoid the many all too human mistakes almost everybody makes when trying to 'do better.' These two secrets have created a wonderful opportunity for Robo Advisors as this little book so beautifully explains."
--CHARLES D. ELLIS, author of Winning the Loser's Game

"This accessible book gives a roadmap beginner investors can use to build wealth and achieve financial freedom over time. The authors did a great job informing readers how to use robo investing platforms with ease to start small, invest for the long term, avoid psychological traps, and live a financial life consistent with one's values."
--CHAMATH PALIHAPITIYA, founder and CEO of Social Capital, philanthropist, co-host of the All-In podcast, and former executive at Facebook and AOL

"This wonderful 'little' book is full of big insights--like the fact that fees, fear, and needless complexity are bigger threats to your investments than the next market downturn--and simple, actionable advice for harnessing the power of robo platforms. Armed with this book, individual investors at any level have the tools to tune out overpriced sales pitches, and turn small, steady contributions into meaningful financial security for the long run. An indispensable guidebook for today's Intelligent Investor."
--AMBASSADOR JOE TORSELLA (Ret.), Former State Treasurer of Pennsylvania
