Truth be told, we're more honest with robots

Kelly Fisher started using a robo-advisor a year and a half ago because she thought it would be more convenient and easier than investing through a human advisor. What she didn't anticipate, though, was just how much more truthful she would be with an automaton rather than a living, breathing person sitting across the desk. When someone starts asking me about my net worth, I get uncomfortable. The San Francisco-based retail executive has about 8,000 invested in accounts with robo-advisors. These are sites that ask a series of questions and then they match a fund with that investor's risk tolerance and lifestyle.
