ETFs EMEA Roundtable: robo-advisors and AI making headway

The emergence of robo-advisors and AI in ETFs is gaining steam, and how those products are being used and developed is being scrutinized by the financial industry and regulators alike, said participants at the ETFs Global Markets Roundtable held in London last week. 

Robos aren’t often about investing, rather they are a bit like the “Wikipedia” for investors seeking to get informed, said Deborah Fuhr, co-founder and managing partner of ETFGI, the consulting and research firm that hosts the events.
