Do I need to top up my robo-advisor if I start losing money?

Hi Anon,

It is the latter - your initial investment amount does not need to be maintained throughout the course of your investment. Realistically, your investment shouldn't reach 0 unless everything you invest in goes bust. However, you could incur a huge loss.

So it's important to make sure that you're only investing money that you can afford to lose in the short run so that you don't put yourself in a bad financial position. This way, you can wait out the market correction for your investments to pick up again before withdrawing them.

Hope this helps and all the best!
