We are building Unhedged the next-gen Robo-advisor that uses AI and Algorithms to get a better result for everyday investors.Everyday investors underperform the market by 42% and that has a great influence on their wealth. Robo-advisors use the Modern Portfolio Theory invented in 1952 while the market structure has changed a lot and we are still using this formula to get sub-par results!Let's stop that: let's give advanced tools to everyday investors and let them have the opportunity to send their kids to a better school, live a better retirement or buy that bigger house.Unhedged uses AI and battle-tested algorithms to get algorithmic returns and fewer 'dips' which I built and traded over the years. The algorithms we are using are Hierarchical Risk Parity, Momentum, Trend, Volatility scalpers and 'beta swappers' adjusted for the retail trading environment
