deeptrading vs. passive investing apps and robo-advisors
Robo-advisors and passive apps take decisions off your hands – for an ongoing fee on your assets. deeptrading instead gives you the research to understand your self-directed portfolio. The two complement each other.
What robo-advisors are good for – and where they stop
Convenient but rigid: you're sorted into a pre-built standard portfolio and can barely steer individual holdings.
Ongoing fee on your assets: you pay the percentage management fee year after year on your entire balance, whatever happens.
Black box: you rarely learn in detail why a position is held or what risks sit in your portfolio.
No research for your own portfolio: if you also hold individual stocks or a self-managed account, the robo doesn't help you there.
deeptrading vs. robo-advisors
Not either-or
Many investors combine both: a passive, automated core for the foundation – and deeptrading to understand the self-directed part of their portfolio, analyse individual holdings and spot concentration risk early. deeptrading manages no money and sells no investment product; it gives you the analysis, you make the decision.
