Wealthfront

Tap a star to rate

Wealthfront has offered automated investing since 2008 and distinguishes itself with daily tax-loss harvesting, which captures more tax savings than quarterly rebalancing. The advisory fee is 0.25% annually, one of the lowest in the industry. The free Path planning tool models various spending and retirement scenarios so you can see whether your money lasts through retirement and stress-test decisions about when to claim Social Security or tap investment accounts.

Retirees value Wealthfront's tax optimization, especially those with larger portfolios where daily loss harvesting compounds into significant tax savings over time. The free Path tool appeals to those who want to understand their long-term financial picture without paying for an advisor's hourly rate.
