Why does Hedgeable not build portfolios with mutual funds?

Hedgeable believes mutual funds are dinosaurs, which will shortly be taken over by ETFs in popularity. They are restrictive because many have lockup periods, charge redemption fees, and have high expenses. This discourages investors who are in mutual funds from selling them. This ties your hands as a retail investor, because it is necessary for you to remain flexible at all times.
