(AIThority - AI Technology Insights) - TD Bank announced it has launched the Bank’s first robo-advisor, TD Automated Investing, and hybrid advisor, TD Automated Investing Plus, helping TD to further meet the growing demands for individualized financial advice and investment solutions across all client segments.
Both offerings provide clients access to TD Strategic Portfolios – seven globally diversified portfolios of exchange traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds designed by TD Wealth’s investment professionals to help meet differing risk profiles and financial goals – as well as automated monitoring and rebalancing.
“With the introduction of TD Automated Investing and TD Automated Investing Plus, TD will now be able to engage earlier in the Customer’s wealth journey on their terms, combining the best of digital with an unexpectedly human approach,” says Peter Mottek, EVP, Head of U.S. Wealth. “The foundation of all of our Wealth offerings at TD goes beyond a transparent and thorough conversation. It begins by understanding what matters most to every customer, today and in the future.”

Clients also get peace of mind, through automated monitoring and rebalancing, that their portfolio is always aligned to their risk profile. A customer can open an account with as little as $5,000 with an annual advisory fee of 0.30% with a $75 minimum.
TD Automated Investing Plus offers the same features as TD Automated Investing, with additional access to a centralized advisory team to assist with building a personalized financial plan and ongoing advice. It requires a minimum of $25,000 with an annual advisory fee of 0.60% with a $250 minimum.
