FitBUX's robo-advisor selects how much risk you have the ability to take and we manage the investment portfolios.
We design all of our portfolios using cost efficient ETFs. Our robo-advisor selects the investment allocation based on the inputs in your FitBUX proifle.
Our approach to building investment accounts uses ETFs. ETFs have low fees and provide many ways to build the optimal portfolio for our members. However, we do believe that FitBUX members who feel comfortable with a more hands-on approach using different type of securities should feel free to do so.
In fact, we hope all FitBUX member's one day have the understanding to handle these kind of products and investments strategies. If you decide to take a more proactive approach, then make sure to include these accounts as port as your FitBUX profile to ensure that you always look at the entire picture when using our financial planning platform and tools.
Vanguard is fantastic. In fact, we use many of their ETFs.
The primary difference between FitBUX and going straight to Vanguard or a company like Fidelity, is our FitBUX Coaches look at your complete financial profile when answering questions you may have about your financial situation. They can also provide generalized investment information so you are more informed on your investments. Therefore, you can make better decisions.
Often times, the call center you call at Vanguard and Fidelity are staffed with entry level financial professionals that only look at your investment with those companies in silos.
Self-directed investment accounts are ones you have full control of. Therefore, yes from the standpoint of control they are. You can edit your investments and change them whenever you want without FitBUX's help.
However, for compliance purposes, Betterment restricts your investments to ETFs. Specifically, they restrict your investments to preselected portfolios of ETFs that you have the ability to invest in. Therefore, you can not select individual stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds through Betterment.
If you'd like to use a more hands on approach there would be no reason to use FitBUX's robo-advisor or Betterment. You are better off using a low/zero cost company.
