Betterment

Betterment organizes your money around specific goals, whether it's saving for retirement, a home down payment, or a vacation. The platform builds a personalized portfolio for each goal, rebalances automatically, and harvests tax losses to optimize returns. You can start with the fully automated robo-advisor service, then add a human financial advisor if you want more personalized guidance.

It's well-suited for goal-oriented savers who like clarity about progress toward specific targets. Betterment's interface makes it easy to see exactly how your money is working toward each goal, and the optional advisor service lets you upgrade to human guidance without switching platforms.
