Are Robo-Advisors Good in Volatile Markets? By staff columnist, Alexandra Deluise One of the biggest questions about robo-advisors is whether they will stand the test of time. As Sean Allocca from Financial Planning notes, the bull market has turned volatile leaving some to wonder about the ability of robo-advisors to handle the downturn.
