FinTech Innovation – From Robo–Advisors to Goal Based Investing and Gamification

SolidCutting Edge Information

A very primitive book. Why bother to write something that can be read in any amateurish article? No depth, no insight. Very unfortunate.

Nothing new. All of this info (speculation really) is free on the internet. Would not recommend.

The automation of investment advice to lower tier investors is coming. It won't be incredibly personalised, but it will be logical. The industry will change. At the moment, the investment press doesn't mention the best investments much, because the advertisers don't make any money from them, and therefore advertise the more profitable products. With robo-advisers, maybe investors won't need to reach to passive ETFs to get a low cost involvement.The book is written by a well known specialist. He has a tendency to use longer and more pompous words than neccessary. But if you need to know about this subject you will be able to get past that. Probably robo-advice will end up being presented to you as real human advice - just like those active managers who are closet trackers to make sure they don't fall too far behind their declared reference index. All we can hope is that the cost of the advice reflects the robo-element.Nice book.

Not an interesting book
