Has anyone tried AI and data science based investment sites like Wealthfront, Betterment, Robinhood and Fundrise?

Tried betterment. Returns weren’t great. Auto tax loss harvesting was a nice benefit. Had to move my investments cuz of independence issues. Wish I just did indexes through vanguard on my own from the start

Wealthfront hasn’t been performing that well for me relative to investments I self-mange (part of the reason I don’t put all eggs in one basket). I wouldn’t diss these guy given overall global asset allocations have taken a hit across the board this year.

Some other interesting ETF alternatives (outside of robo managers) I’ve been using which leverage AI/advanced tech are as follows:
BIKR global macro fund;
AEIQ which uses IBM Watson AI; and
For the more bearish out there, DWSH has been decent at capturing downside for me recently.

Likewise, bad returns with Wealthfront. They need to provide better strategies than losing money for tax benefit.

Yes vs marktet. Betterment was always a 2-3 percentage points below market for me
