LOS ALTOS, Calif. (Nikkei)--DirectAdvice.com Inc., a U.S. start-up with funding from Softbank Corp. (9984), has begun offering personalized, comprehensive financial-planning services to individuals via the Internet.

DirectAdvice has developed software to create investment plans based on personal information submitted via the company's Web site. By making its services available over the Net, it has been able to cut its fees to 75 dollars a year, less than a tenth that of conventional investment-counseling firms.

DirectAdvice also plans to exploit the liberalization of Japan's investment industry and form a joint venture with Softbank to offer investment-counseling services as early as this year.
