Changes at THEO

[RetireJapan]

Just read the latest THEO newsletter. Seems like there will be two big changes next week:

1. minimum investment will come down to 10,000 yen (from 100,000)
2. they will start a new mode called 'leave it to THEO'

Basically unless you choose your own settings, they will run your portfolio based on your age, assets, and income, changing it once a year to match your situation. Apparently a lot of people had trouble answering THEO's setup risk-assessment questions.

Full blog post once it's been implemented.

The THEO changes seem to have been implemented. Basically 10,000 minimum to open account, and the new 'leave it to THEO' portfolio setting.
