Thanks for the answer! Hopefully they will be able to put all since I need it for my portfolio
Anyone know if there is a possible way with the pie to produce the highest return just by choosing stocks. I am explaining myself:
I have 10 stocks with different returns and I choose to put 10K.
The robot should assume to make the best return by putting itself between the 10 stocks certain % amount for the highest return instead of us human doing it by ourselves.
If anyone knows if this is possible or if it is under development?
Thanks. Jeffrey
This is not really possible. If you want to know what allocation had the history of highest return over past five years it will be to put 100% in the one stock that did best! But a robot that tells you that is not much help. It cannot predict which stock will do best in the future.
The reason to have many stocks is to reduce risk. You do not get such great return as if you were lucky enough to pick the one that will perform best, but you get less variability and decent expected return because winners should more that compensate for the losers.
If you have found 10 stocks that you like, you may as well put 10% in each. Or, maybe you would like to make their weights match their market caps, as happens in an ETF such as VUSA. I recently did that when buying positions in some new stocks, making it 45% AMZN, 35% GOOG, 12% V and 8% ADBE. There are other possible allocation strategies which seek to maximise return/risk. One has to take account of correlation between stocks. A portfolio that is all information technology stocks is more risky that one that has some information technology, some consumer staples and some heathcare.
this. That’d be a dull algorithm which’ll always put a single stock in the pie.
An algorithm that “tells you” which investment “will” perform best is known as alpha (hence the websites like “seekingalpha.com”) which does not exist. Even if it existed Trade 212 cannot use it for you, because it’ll mean trade 212 acting as an adviser.
Thanks for the answer, it is actually correct. I did not see it that way.
While I love this new feature, there is one thing that disappoints me a lot with.
My regular strategy is short-term but I was interested to start developing something long term, for which this feature is awesome. However what I was expecting is a complete separate view from the regular investments and the pies.
To my surprise, when I saw that in the investment side I can see the same stock combined (the part of the pie and the part of the regular investment) it frustrated me. Now I will have to keep a manual record of my buys to check the actual value of the regular investment portion alone.
Will it be possible to have a view that separates the portion invested in the pie?
@Nwish We will be implementing a filter to the investments view which will help you isolate pie investments from standalone shares and vice versa.
That will be awesome and deeply appreciated ^^
I am loving this feature, my auto goes in today and it’s great to just see it appear.
I have noticed however that since the tesla/apple split my pie says £33 cash free. This is fine, but when I got to the Invest / Withdraw funds button, I had the invest another £4 from my back to be able to use that £33 that was already free in the pie.
I know it’s only a small amount and nothing to complain about, but I would have thought I could have just invested that cash, without having to do the extra first?
Hi @nickbull We’re glad you like AutoInvest!
There is a minimum value of £0.20 for each pie order. So, if you have very small slices in your pie that might increase your min invest amount.
For example:
A 0.5% slice requires a £40 pound minimum investment since £40 * 0.5% = £0.20
Ahh right that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying
Again this is a fantastic feature
I got access, love this feature so much. Already making me money on Tesla, I’m buying on a weekly basis due to price movements.
any update on the ios update?
This might be helpful to you
Hi @George,
Hope you are doing well,
Could you please explain the meaning on the pie for the 1/2 partial fill in the History onglet?
Thanks,
Jeffrey
so when the testing data days are up? does it affect my investments and pies?
it’s telling me that I need to delete the version I have now on my app to install it.
AutoInvest is not available on Android ?
I joined Trading212 just for this feature.
Please, sign up here
@keifersimpson Using the TestFlight version won’t affect your investments. You will be using the same T212 account.
Done. Thanks. Can you pin this up on the start. There are really lots of conversation on this post.
