Please join John A. Turner, Pension Policy Center, one of the co-authors of the research paper, Robo Advisors for Canadian Pension Participants, along with other guest speakers as they discuss this flourishing tool. Together, they will assess its impact - both the good and the bad - on financial decision-making by Canadian pension participants.
The key findings of their report are:
• 71 per cent of Canadians are not using a human financial advisor. Robo advisors can increase the accessibility of financial advice to previously underserved populations.
• The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to increase the popularity of Robo advisors.
• Robo advice differs considerably across advisors, which suggests that the quality of the advice may also vary considerably.
• It is more appealing for Canadians to choose Robo advisors than for Americans from the relative cost saving perspective.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is improving Robo advisors’ financial recommendations.
• Canadian regulations could be changed to make it possible to provide non-hybrid Robo advisors with less human intervention.
We hope you can join us to hear firsthand the answers to these questions.
