Quick takeaways

  • Experienced investors should consider opening accounts directly with brokerage firms instead of relying solely on robo-advisors for investment opportunities.
  • When seeking financial advice, it is recommended to pay advisors a fee for a financial plan on a project basis, rather than paying them to manage assets, in order to receive unbiased advice.

Deep dives

Robo-advisors are a good option for beginner investors

Robo-advisors offer a simple and convenient way for beginners to invest. They provide diversified portfolios of ETFs and have user-friendly interfaces. However, more seasoned investors may want to go beyond robo-advisors and open accounts directly with brokerage firms like Vanguard or Schwab.
