Overview
Overview
SGT Robo-Advisor is a digital wealth-management platform that takes a retail investor from a 10-question risk-tolerance quiz to a diversified, low-cost ETF portfolio in under five minutes — then keeps it on target with automatic drift-based rebalancing, dividend reinvestment, and tax-loss harvesting. A human CFP® is one tap away when needed.
Built for first-time investors, busy professionals, retirement savers, and HNW clients who want index-level fees with goal-based planning. Custodial assets sit at SIPC-insured brokers (Apex, IBKR, DriveWealth) so the platform never touches client money directly.
- 0.25% all-in fee — no commissions, no minimum, fractional shares
- 8 model portfolios + custom allocations spanning equities, bonds, REITs, gold, cash
- Tax-loss harvesting — automated, wash-sale safe, captured offsets reported at year-end
- Goal-based planning — retirement, home, college, emergency with Monte-Carlo projection
How It Works
The diagram above shows the four layers of a robo-advisor deployment. Hover any module to see live telemetry.
- Investor App — risk-tolerance slider feeds a target allocation; the 8-slice ETF pie shows current holdings; portfolio value updates in real time; auto-deposit on payday topped up monthly.
- Allocation Engine — modern portfolio theory picks a point on the efficient frontier matching the client's risk score; nightly drift check fires a rebalance trade plan when any sleeve exceeds the 3% threshold; tax-loss harvesting swaps a losing ETF for a non-substantially-identical sibling.
- Custody & Market — orders route to Apex / IBKR / DriveWealth as fractional shares; live ETF quotes, sparklines, and trade tape; settle T+1, SIPC $500K base + $1M excess insurance.
- Advisor & Goals — Monte-Carlo projection cone shows probability of hitting each goal; per-goal progress bar (retirement, home down-payment, emergency fund); 24/7 chat to a CFP® for life events.
A continuous feedback channel pushes goal adjustments, contribution bumps, and risk-score repricing back into the allocation engine — the purple stream along the bottom.
