Robo Advisors - Cut the Crap Investing

Tangerine Investments offers lower fee and comprehensive indexed-based portfolios. But they are not the first name that comes to mind when looking at the Canadian Robo Advisors. But Tangerine can be a complete digital experience just like the other Robo’s. The portfolios are mutual funds all with management expense ratios of 1.07%. There are no fees for when you buy or sell. Investment advice is available.

Here’s the Tangerine Investments Review.

The Canadian Robo Advisors allow investors to create complete ETF portfolios online, with very reasonable fees. For example, based on a $100,000 investment portfolio the annual fees would range from $360 to $800 (.20%-.80%) depending on the Robo Advisor selected. Investors will also pay the underlying management expenses of the ETFs. Human advice is also available.
