Automatic investing tools tracked by Bloomberg reveal

Automatic investing tools tracked by Bloomberg reveal global equity robo-advisors expanded asset exposure to emerging markets by 12% in May. Currency hedged positions in India and Brazil delivered above-benchmark returns, implying smart diversification via automation can outperform in high-beta environments. That's not reflected in the CPI-W, though. And so even if seniors get a larger COLA in 2026, it may not be enough to actually help them keep up with their costs. Keep in mind that robo-advisors on their own are generally safe. While neither can guarantee profits or protect you from losses, you can trust robo-advisors as much as you can a human financial advisor. Robo-advisors are fiduciaries, which means they are legally obligated to put an investor's interests first. Automatic investing strategies gained traction this week as S&P 500 futures hovered near 5,320, supported by AI-driven portfolio allocation models showing 0.8% monthly outperformance over manual trading. Analysts cite strong inflows into ETF-based robo-advisory platforms, particularly in the tech and renewable energy sectors, with forecasted Q3 growth of 5% in equity market participation.
