FINDING AUTOMATED INVESTMENTS JUST GOT AUTOMATED – COMPARETHEPLATFORM.COM LAUNCHES ROBO-CALCULATOR
London, 19th September 2019. Comparetheplatform (a Fundscape brand) is pleased to announce the launch of a new robo-calculator designed to help end-investors find the right robo-adviser for their needs: https://compareandinvest.co.uk/robo-calculator/.
What’s a robo-adviser?
In a nutshell, a robo-adviser is an online investment service that takes investors through a series of questions and then suggests a suitable portfolio or investment. They differ from traditional investment services in that they harness modern technology and algorithms to automate processes and keep costs down.
There are several different types of robos in the market, ranging from simple apps with access to one or two funds right for novice investors, through to complex ones for sophisticated investors, or hybrid solutions with advisers on hand to help investors with their financial decisions.
Robo-advice is a major investment trend globally. With over 40 to choose from in the UK, finding a robo that suits investor needs is time-consuming and difficult. We’ve taken the pain out of the search with the launch of this easy-to-use robo-calculator to help investors find the right robo-adviser.
Bella Caridade-Ferreira, CEO, said ‘The robo-calculator is the latest in a string of calculators Comparetheplatform.com is introducing to make the industry transparent, to democratise savings and investments, and provide the information investors need to make informed investment decisions. We want to make ordinary people richer.’
Free, impartial and on the fly!
It’s free, open to everyone and completely impartial — we’re agnostic about providers — all the robos in our robo-calculator are ranked purely on service or price and our ratings are based on actual experience. Why? Because at CompareThePlatform we’re passionate about making investing easier and transparent for everyone. And because we’re independent, you know you’re getting a balanced view. The robo-calculator gives you real time insight into different robos-advisers in one easy-to-use, comparison tool. On the fly.

Based on their answers, we show them investors how the robos stack up in terms of fees, or how we’ve rated them in different areas such as products, investment guides and fees.
