Still deciding if we’re right for you?
These frequently asked questions may help:
How is this different than investing in the S&P 500?
Investing in the S&P means only investing in US equities. Diversification is
the key to long-term investing, which is why we select low-cost investments from 10 global asset classes to build your portfolio.
How do you choose my investments?
We choose exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track an index, such as the S&P 500 or emerging markets.
Wealthfront chooses the ETFs with the lowest costs and proper tracking of their index.
What does opening a new account involve?
We ask a few questions so we can build an investment portfolio that suits your needs.
Once your money arrives, we'll invest it automatically.
What are the costs to invest?
We’re glad you asked. Our annual advisory fee is 0.25%.
On average, you’ll also pay a low 0.06%–0.13% expense ratio. Companies who run investment funds charge this fee, and it comes straight out of that fund’s performance
(you aren’t billed directly). Everyone who invests in ETFs pays this fee.
How much do I need to invest?
Our account minimum is just $500.
How do you define “long-term” investing?
To us, long-term investing means investing for at least three to five years.
Why? We don’t think you should take market risk with cash you might need sooner than that.
What are my options for funding?
You can deposit cash from your Wealthfront Cash Account, bank account or transfer investments from another brokerage.

What if I have investments elsewhere?
You don't need to sell your investments to move them. We make the transfer process free, simple, and tax-efficient.
