In the past month it seemed like our inboxes and Twitter feeds exploded with articles on “robo advisors.” Not necessarily a new technology, these automated platforms are setting off some threat alarms in the financial services industry.
It seems robo-advising can’t be avoided, which shouldn’t come as a surprise in our world of evolving technology and “gotta have the next big thing,” “how can I get the most bang for my buck” mentalities.
I dove into as many of these articles as I could in order to compile a list of the ones I think offer the best insight into the rise of robos and how traditional advisors can meet the challenges they pose head on.
