Ally Invest offers a robo-advisory service with no advisory fees on its cash-enhanced portfolio option, which maintains a 30% cash buffer. The market-focused portfolio charges no advisory fee and maintains a minimal cash allocation, giving investors two distinct approaches to automated investing within the Ally ecosystem.

- ✓No advisory fees on either the cash-enhanced or market-focused portfolio
- ✓Seamless integration with Ally savings, checking, and other banking products
- ✓Two portfolio options let investors choose between cash buffer and full market exposure
