Download or read book How Much Advice is There in Robo Advice written by Tom Fiene and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robo advisors are online platforms exploring computer algorithms to provide financial advice to their clients and individually manage investment portfolios. The technology appeared with increasing demand of investors for financial advice and the high costs related with that service from traditional human advisory. Computers usually act independent from emotions and based on facts. With respect to classical financial advisory, this chapter analyses the extent to which advice is included in such rational service. As of today, it remains controversial if robo advisors supply their clients with all services of human advisory. To describe the functionality and corresponding mechanisms of robo advisors, a service provider for automated investment decisions is thoroughly described. By the means of a pre-defined investor profile and set criteria the robo is compared to its competitors. From a legal perspective, robo advisors fully match the requirements to be considered a financial advisor. Still, the naming may be inappropriate for many competitors on the market as there is no actual advice included as most robos have the ultimate authority in allocation of assets, not the investor himself.

More and more money has been flowing into automated advisory, raising essential questions regarding the foundations, mechanics, and performance of such solutions.

The second part tackles specific questions of implementation, which are complemented by practical case studies in Part III. Finally, the fourth part looks ahead to the future, addressing questions of key importance such as artificial intelligence, big data, and social networks. Thereby, this timely book conveys both a comprehensive grasp of the status-quo as well as a guiding outlook onto future trends and developments within the field.
Download or read book Financial Regulation written by MICHAEL. JACKSON BARR (HOWELL. TAHYAR, MARGARET.) and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 1412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial Regulation: Law and Policy (2d Edition) introduces the field of financial regulation in a new and accessible way. Even though a decade has passed since the most systemic financial crisis in the last 70 years and eight years have elapsed since a major shift in regulatory design, the world is still grappling with the aftermath. In addition, technology innovations, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, market forces and a changing political environment all have combined to reframe and reorient public debate over financial regulation. The book has kept up to date with all of these changes. The book analyzes and compares the market and regulatory architecture of the entire U.S. financial sector as it exists today, from banks, insurance companies, and broker-dealers, to asset managers, complex financial conglomerates, and government-sponsored enterprises. The book explores a range of financial activities, from consumer finance and investment to payment systems, securitization, short-term wholesale funding, money markets, and derivatives. The book examines a range of regulatory techniques, including supervision, enforcement, and rule-writing, as well as crisis-fighting tools such as resolution and the lender of last resort. Throughout the book, the authors note the cross-border implications of U.S. rules, and compare, where appropriate, the U.S. financial regulatory framework and policy choices to those in other places around the globe, especially the European Union.
Download or read book Robo Advisors How to increase trust in Artificial Intelligence compared to traditional financial advisory written by Alina Riecker and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Review of Business Studies, grade: 1.1, Reutlingen University (ESB Business School), language: English, abstract: Nowadays, tech companies have entered our lives in nearly every possible area of application, from smart coffee machines to algorithmic-based music recommendations. Logically, it is not a far stretch that the financial sector will also experience disruption through technology-oriented startups. The so-called FinTech’s, short for financial technology, can be independent, newly found startups, or can be implemented by existing financial institutions as a complementary sales channel and span a wide ar-ray of functions, including peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding, cryptocurrencies and blockchain, and also, robotic investment advice. It is no surprise that this development will affect traditional financial advisory. Mainly robo advisors are seen as one of the most disruptive technologies in the financial sector. What used to be a people’s business and strived through human connections and relationships turned digital: a robo advisor can replace all functions of traditional financial advisors at a lower cost point and while being available 24/7. Based on financial theory, the offer investors personalized portfolios – all through pressing buttons on a phone screen. Whilst promising to streamline financial investment and to make it accessible to everybody, regardless of wealth, customer adoption compared to the global financial service market has been low. Disruptive technologies offer a lot innovative and smart features, but customers might be hesitant to try the solutions. People rely on the experience of others to build trust, and the little experience of early adopters might not be enough to influence trust to a large extent. Trust is an important factor for all services or technologies, but especially in unprecedent areas such as fully automated financial advice. The thesis will be based on a literature review methodology and will assess the theoretical background of trust through analyzing and comparing previously done research on the matter. Additionally, a quantitative study focusing on trust-building factors in robo advisors has been used as a basis to form conclusions regarding the increase of trust. Industry insights, journal articles and conference papers build the foundation of this thesis. They were identified through the usage of scientific search engines, but also through backward and forward referencing searches. This approach provided a multitude of applicable literature from the fields of artificial intelligence and trust.

Wealth managers are standing at the epicenter of a tectonic shift, as the balance of power between offering and demand undergoes a dramatic upheaval.
