Robo Advisors • Technically, a robo-adviser works in the same way like financial advisors do - recording customer goals/time horizon, assessing risk profile, suggesting and executing investment strategies and reporting portfolios. • Examples: Betterment, Wealthfront (both U.S.) and Nutmeg (the U.K.) • robo-advice providers offer asset allocation strategies, executing through index/passive (mostly ETFs), tax harvesting to optimise tax - all with a focus on long-term goal-based wealth creation.

WealthTech in India • While some players offer ‘direct’ mutual funds (with no embedded trail commissions), they still prefer selecting active mutual funds over passive ETFs; we assume they intend to charge the clients a fee at some point • Some players offer ‘goal planning’ helping users to calculate the cost of goals and how much they need to invest and ‘goal tracking’ showing if users are on track to meet their goals • Very few offer full financial planning, rebalancing, tax harvesting etc

• Segmentation of Insurtech Firms
• A “traditional” view: Full-stack / Agents / Brokers • A nuanced view of sub-segments: Carriers / Enablers / Distributors • Full-stack Insurers: Platforms that underwrite policies, assume the risk,and, in most cases, manage the process from beginning to end • Agents: Platforms that act on behalf of a carrier, essentially acting as an extension of an incumbent carrier • Brokers: Platforms that provide customers with a variety of policies offered by both incumbent carriers and insurgent InsurTech platforms
