Investing meets
actual intelligence.

Cut through the marketing buzzwords. Discover how algorithmic trading, robo-advisors, and AI screeners actually work, what they cost, and when to use them.

The compounding cost of human fees

The primary benefit of algorithmic investing isn't necessarily beating the market—it's drastically reducing the fees that eat into your long-term compound growth.

A traditional financial advisor charges around 1.00% of Assets Under Management (AUM) annually. A modern robo-advisor charges around 0.25%. Over 30 years, that 0.75% difference is staggering.

  • Betterment: 0.25% AUM
  • Wealthfront: 0.25% AUM
  • Average Human Advisor: 1.02% AUM
