Is it worth relying on computers to invest your money?

by | Jun 16, 2023 | Integras Insights

As machines become more intelligent, their role as “Robo-Advisors” is destined to become more widespread. It’s popular for being a cheaper way for big firms to invest your money, but it is based on only a limited set of facts, like your age, financial stability, and your appetite for risk.  Sadly, no matter how good it may seem, computers will only follow instructions.  

Your financial planning should be more personal and nimble than a computer program.  Automatically rebalancing a portfolio is fine, but you deserve professional expertise, compassion, and human judgment to make decisions for your money. 

Financial planners may cost a little more upfront but building a relationship and getting holistic advice that considers your circumstances could be invaluable.

We build real relationships with clients.  We partner with you to determine when you’ll need money.  We take low risk with the money you need soon, allowing the opportunity to capture greater returns with money invested for later.

We do this by segmenting your portfolio into timeframes, from next year all the way to 15+ years.  Each segment employs one of our 5 strategies, which keeps risk (and emotions) aligned to your needs and goals.

Get to Know Integras Partners and see how we personalize your financial planning experience.
