We all know how miserable it’s been recently for some hedge funds, now it’s time to look at some Robo Advisors.  These portfolios vary depending on the needs and risk tolerance of the investor, but you can get a feel for what the returns might look like for a conservative or moderate investor. I’m using the allocation of a recent Wall Street Journal article.
