How you make money

Stock price appreciation + dividends. For reference: according to historical records, the average annual return from the S&P Index since its inception in 1926 through 2018 is approximately 10%–11%. The average annual return since adopting 500 stocks into the index in 1957 through 2018 is roughly 8%. Adjusted for inflation, the historical average annual return is around 7%. However, it's important to note that each Robo has their own investment strategy that can influence returns.

How Albert makes money

Free for the basic budgeting and saving app; if you want to use the Genius feature, you'll pay a monthly subscription fee of your choice. While $4/month is the minimum amount at which Albert can reasonably operate the service, most customers decide to pay more.

Is it Safe?

Investing entails risk including the possible loss of principal and there is no assurance that the investment will provide positive performance over any period of time.
