Robo-Advisors - Barron's Rankings, 2023www.barrons.com/articles/best-robo-advisors-ranking-d7ff0bcf?mod=past_editionsBEST ROBO-ADVISORS, 2023: #1-Schwab/SCHW, #2-Merrill/BAC, #3-Fidelity Go, #4-Wealthfront, #5-Vanguard PAS, #6-Betterment, #7-SoFi/SOFI, #8-Empower, #9-Ally/ALLY, #10-US Bank/USB, #11-E*Trade/MS, #12-SigFig, #13-J.P. Morgan/JPM, #14-Wells Fargo/WFC, #15-Acorns. Robo-advisor AUM is $900+ billion (by AUM, #1-Vanguard, #2-Edelman Financial Engines, #3-Morningstar, #4-Fidelity, #5-Schwab, etc). Some financial advisors/planners now just use robo-advisors (?). More robo-advisors are getting into the 401k/403b business and high-interest cash accounts. Several have added human touch for what are called hybrid robo-advisors, but some remain digital-only (Betterment, Wealthfront, etc). Only a few pure-play robo-advisors remain because the profitability has been low; many have been acquired or shut down; large established players dominate the scene now. Most of the article writeup is on Betterment.
