Hi,
Robos are great for people with a low starting capital. Syfe and StashAway does not have any minimum sum to start investing with them, and their management fees are pretty manageable at the start.
The portfolio that a robo-advisor recommends you is pretty diversified , as they focus more on asset allocation rather than selecting a specific stock or bond. Once they decide how much of your entire sum they should be allocating to stocks or bonds, most would usually invest in a fund that is diversified across the entire asset class.
As such, they have a 'lower risk' compared to investing in individual stocks and bonds. However, low risk doesn't mean no risk! It is still possible for you to lose money with a robo-advisor.
As you are investing with a robo-advisor, I would suggest to understand their investing strategy. You may or may not agree with their strategy, and once you've become more confident with investing, you can consider doing DIY investing.
Robos are great as a start. However, once you have a larger amount to invest each month, it may be more cost effective to invest via a broker instead.
For more information about robo-advisors, you can read my article which answers 13 questions you may have about them.
