MARTINSVILLE, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2020 / Backend Benchmarking has published the 14th edition of The Robo Report™ and the 4th Edition of The Robo Ranking™ covering the fourth quarter of 2019. This report is a continuation of an ongoing study that monitors the most well-known robo advisors. It strives to provide a reliable resource for both investors and professionals interested in the digital advice industry.
"Robo advisors have taken the advice industry by storm. Larger independent providers continue to show strong growth and develop innovative features, and robo advice technology has been adopted by banks, brokerages, and other traditional advice firms," says Ken Schapiro, President of Backend Benchmarking.
This latest edition of The Robo Report™ also contains The Robo Ranking™, the most comprehensive analysis of digital advice products. The Ranking grades the robos across more than 45 specific metrics and is the only examination that includes real and reliable performance data. Each robo is scored on various high-level categories, such as features, financial planning, customer experience, access to live advisors, transparency and conflicts of interest, size and tenure, account minimums, costs, and performance.
"Overall, digital advice providers are continuing to invest in their platforms and expand past investment management into other areas of personal finance. We anticipate this trend to continue into 2020," said David Goldstone, Head of Research at Backend Benchmarking.
