I'm a complete noob looking to begin investing and I read this article
and there's a few things I drew from it
1 Apps offer no fee trading?
A boom of trading apps have made it easier than ever to start investing without a lot of money. More than 2 million people have used Robinhood to buy individual stocks like Apple (AAPL), without having to pay a trading fee.
Is this true? Are there apps that offer safe, no fee trading?
Can I buy into index funds through them?
2 Robo advisors
Another option is to use one of several robo advisors. The two most popular are Betterment and Wealthfront. These online investment advisors make investing small amounts of money incredibly easy. Similar to Vanguard's Target Date Retirement funds, Betterment and Wealthfront allocate an investor's money across multiple asset classes. They use low cost ETFs, many from Vanguard.
I presume these are managing your portfolio actively, is that right? What of these, are they a good idea? How do they perform compared to index funds?
