Best for Sophisticated Investors

While robo-advisors are generally geared towards those who are looking for more of a hands-off investin♑💮g experience, there are several that provide the ability to have more command and control over your investments. In this category, we favored those that offered customizable portfolios, the ability to invest in individual stocks, deeper insights into portfolios prior to funding, and tax-advantaged features. We also looked at each robo-advisor’s research tools, as well as more advanced account services such as the ability to take out a loan backed by the investor’s portfolio balance.
