AI Wealth Apps Are Here: Is Your Money Safe?
A new AI-powered investment platform called Veriqus just raised ₹387 crore in funding. More robo-advisors are entering India. Here is what this means for everyday investors and whether you should trust AI with your money.
₹387 Cr raised = paying a ₹500/month SIP for 6,450 years straight.
Investors are betting big on AI managing your wealth — but should you trust it?
Key Takeaways
Check if any robo-advisor or AI wealth app you use is SEBI-registered as an Investment Adviser before trusting its recommendations.
Compare expense ratios: AI platforms often promise low fees, but read the fine print for hidden charges on AUM or transactions.
Avoid moving your entire SIP or FD corpus to a new platform — test with a small amount (₹5,000–10,000) for at least 3 months first.
