Robo-advisor runs on ETF based strategies. So it boils down to active (ETFs) vs passive (ROBO) investing, in some sense. To understand it better you can visit our website too.
I work at kristal.AI, and my mojo is to help people make the right financial decisions.

If you think I helped you, do give me "Thumbs up". If you think my response was biased, let me know, I will work on it.

Most roboadvisors invest in ETFs. These are the same ETFs you can buy yourself.

But here's what you pay for.

Advice on your asset allocation. Rebalancing to keep your asset exposure constant. Monitoring and reporting. And purchasing odd lots of multiple ETFs which can be at different prices, etc.

You pay typically 0.2%-1% on top of the ETF fees for the above service.

If investing in index ETFs, what happens to all the dividends? If they are reinvested, shouldn't they give higher returns than the index every year? (And not just track the index)?

I plan to dca $1000 monthly for 10 to 20 yrs. Which would give more returns - STI ETF or S&P 500 (after deducting withholding tax)?

Do Robos or ETFs give higher returns long term?

Strategy A gives 18% annual returns, 15% volatility and -25% max drawdown. Strategy B gives 19% annual returns, 14% volatility and -30% max drawdown. Which investment strategy would you choose?

Which broker to use for US ETF e.g. vanguard snp 500? Saxo or td ameritrade. Quite confused by the many costs.. Also, is roboadvisors another “alternative” to invest in us etf? I would like to buy and hold US etf, before dabbling in the rest.?
