HI, I just started with using a robo-advisor, what other investments can I do to complement my robo? Thank you!?

I started off with $1000 for SA and Syfe, and plan to DCA $500 every month, for long term (10 to 20 years). Syfe only for REIT portfolio while SA will be ETF portfolio (currently at 14% risk preference).

One way to look at it is to see what products your portfolio has with your Robos. Are there products like certain markets you are more interested in and you want more exposure to them, you could buy those products on the exchange.​​​

Hello,

I think its dependent on your portfolio, if you have 100% equity, I suggest adding some safer investments as a hedge. Since you have REITS portfolio and SA's ETF, these are actually quite okay since these portfolios are already diverse enough. You could (maybe) invest in the companies you love and is confident of to increase your rate of return (because youre not following the market returns and dependent on the volatility of the share price). Additionally, you can get some gold as a hedge but remember that you will lose some money when you buy due to premiums and spread. Hope this helps!

You should just use syfe for both portfolios, assuming long term if you don't want to learn doing it...
