So What’s A Halal Robo-Advisor?

Robots have been working for us for a while now, building cars in factories and other industrial places, where manual labor is done by robots. The next generation of robots has quietly taken more thinking roles, where automation is taking over work traditionally done by humans.  This is made possible by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) where computers can perform analytical tasks with little human intervention.

Financial advisory used to be one of the more respected white collar jobs.  Now, a robo-advisor can take the place of a financial advisor. Robo-advisors are based on online platforms provide financial advice backed by mathematical rules or algorithms with little human intervention. Potential investors will need to answer a series of online questions about their investment goals, risk appetites, and then proceed to invest in a suitable investment portfolio.
