Smarter investing, brilliantly personalized.
We’ll build you a portfolio of low-cost index funds from up to 17 global asset classes, based around your risk score and tax level. Our software handles all the trading, rebalancing, and busywork to help you grow your wealth over the long term.
Choose from hundreds of funds in categories like clean energy, tech, and crypto and we’ll handle the trades and rebalance your portfolio for you. Or start with a portfolio designed around your values with our Socially Responsible portfolio. We make it easy and safe to customize by helping you see when your choices won’t be in line with your preferred risk level.

Our not-so-secret ingredient? Automation✨
Keep your eyes on the big picture, your other investments, or basically anything besides the busywork. We rebalance your portfolio, automatically diversify deposits, and can help save you taxes, all without you ever lifting a finger.
Tax-Loss Harvesting can find many small wins to boost your after-tax returns.
Our software monitors your investments to automatically trade similar assets that lose value, which can help you lower your tax bill while still keeping your portfolio on track. When you offset your capital gains by claiming many small losses, you can put the savings right back to work in the market. No tractors or shovels required.
Our fee is small, but we think it’s a really big deal.

You can do everything you need right in our app. But sometimes, it’s just easier to talk to a person. That’s why we have a gaggle of certified CPAs, CFAs, and CFPs standing by to answer your questions.
Still deciding if we’re right for you? These frequently asked questions may help.
This sounds complicated. I bet this is complicated, right?
What we do is complicated. What you do is really really not. Just answer a few questions, and we’ll build an investment portfolio with your name on it. Then, as soon as your money arrives, we invest it just like we said we would. Bada bing, etc.
What if I don’t like your picks? Can I choose my own investments?
Yup. You can customize your Wealthfront portfolio six ways to Sunday, both when you’re first opening a new account or at any point afterwards.
What if I want to pull my money out?
Well, it’s your money, so you can withdraw it at any time.
I bet this is really expensive.
That’s not a question, but actually no. The weighted average annual expense ratio of the investments of a taxable Wealthfront portfolio is between 0.05–0.29%. Wealthfront also charges a 0.25% annual advisory fee, but for more than 97% of our clients with a recommended portfolio, that’s covered by Tax-Loss Harvesting.3
Tax-loss what now?
Tax-Loss Harvesting. It’s a way to take advantage of changes in the market to help reduce your tax bill and give you more money to invest. For most clients, it generates savings worth at least 6 times our advisory fee, which means your tax savings more than pay for our fee.Learn more
I love everything about this. How do I give you my money?
We make it easy! Electronic bank deposit, wire transfer or account transfer from your brokerage to Wealthfront.Learn more
But I’ve already got investments somewhere else.
Again, that’s not a question. But you don’t always need to sell your investments to move them. We make the transfer process free, simple, and tax-efficient.Learn more
How is this different from S&P 500 Direct?
Great question! The Automated Investing Account is a diversified portfolio with up to 17 global asset classes and includes automatic Tax-Loss Harvesting and account rebalancing. With S&P 500 Direct, you’ll own individual stocks of the S&P 500® index, instead of low-cost ETFs. S&P 500 Direct is designed to take advantage of stock-level Tax Loss Harvesting to help lower your tax bill.
