#263 Robo Advisors are Cheaper and Maybe Better than Humans!

ReBalance-IRA.com CEO Mitch Tuchman, who pioneered America’s first online investment advisory service, joins the show to discuss how the advent of robo advisors is helping to force down fees in the financial services industry and why an algorithm may be a better investment option than a conflicted salesperson. Mitch conceived of and built a service for do-it-yourself investors to manage their own retirement portfolios with MarketRiders and then enhanced the service for those who wanted a human touch with ReBalance-IRA. Robo advisors are poised to be the beneficiaries of the Department of Labor's soon-to-be-released rule on fiduciary, which Mitch believes will be a turning point for the industry.
