Should I go for a robo-advisor that holds my investment custodised in my own name or is it ok to go for one co-mingled with other client's assets?

I am considering investing in one of the 3 robos: Stashaway, Syfe and Endowus.

I came across this article.

https://endowus.com/insights/4-points-to-consid...

It states it's safer if my investment assets are custodised in my own name.

I know this is the case for Endowus. It is not explicitly stated on Stashaway and Syfe's websites. Hence, can I assume that the custodian accounts are not in client's name?

Is Endowus indeed safer?

Hi Anon,

Great question, I think ultimately we have to consider

How much we are putting in with the platform
How risk adverse we are
What happens to the robo/platform when the company goes bust

In our case we have securred with UOB kayhian to allow you to hold on to your investments at the same fees, so that you can liquidate as and when you want.

Is it ok to invest using multiple robo-advisors or better to stick to maybe just 1 (or max 2) ? I am a new investor and have currently invested into 3 robo-advisors. What are your thoughts?

I am currently doing DCA with a few robo Advisors to try out their UIs and after being at it for a while, I would like to consolidate to just one robo advisor. How do I consolidate my investments with Robo-Advisors from 2 of them to 1?

With the economy is going up, is it still worth to invest in robo-advisor? If so, which robo still worth to invest now?

What are some concrete steps one can take to transition from investing with help of robo-advisors to doing DIY stock/etf investing?
