To Endowus, Or Not?

Endowus has been making waves in the robo-advisor market in Singapore, hitting $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) recently.

It offers tailored investment solutions, customized for your risk appetite. Its portfolios are constructed from institutional-level fund classes, so fees are lower. Endowus also rebates trailer fees they receive from funds, so you pay even less. Finally, you can even build your own portfolio, using funds from PIMCO to Dimensional.

With that in mind, should you switch from IBKR to Endowus?
