Ally subsidiary fined over robo-advisoer practices

A Charlotte-based subsidiary of Ally Financial has been ordered to pay a $500,000 penalty over its robo-advisor practices. The Charlotte Observer reports that Ally Invest Advisors was investigated for failing to clearly disclose that some “robo-advisor” investment accounts kept about 30% of customers’ money in cash, a move regulators say helped offset lost fees.
