David Stein: 作为一名个人理财专家,我一直在关注机器人投顾的发展。最近,我收到一位听众的来信,询问我对机器人投顾平台的看法,特别是关于税务损失收割的有效性和费用问题。因此,在本期节目中,我将深入探讨机器人投顾的价值,分析其税务损失收割策略的潜在收益,并探讨直接指数化这一更高级的税务优化方法。我认为,机器人投顾的核心价值在于其自动化和便捷性,能够帮助投资者轻松构建多样化的投资组合,并实现定期再平衡。虽然税务损失收割在一定程度上可以提高投资回报,但其效果可能被高估,尤其是在长期持有的情况下。对于那些真正关注税务优化的投资者来说,直接指数化可能是一个更好的选择,但需要权衡其复杂性和潜在的交易成本。总的来说,我认为机器人投顾适合那些希望简化投资流程、节省时间和精力的投资者,而不是那些追求极致税务优化的投资者。我个人更倾向于自己管理投资组合,但我也认可机器人投顾在帮助人们养成良好的投资习惯方面的积极作用。
