Hi, I want to tell you how I had the situation... I received a message from them about easy earnings. And I thought there won't be even a chance to get my investment back. One day I found them. Re fu ndb.page.lin k/he lp-yo u I didn't even notice how I regained my financial status. Make only a thoughtful choice. I'll be careful now.

Wealthfront helped me create a trust account designed to protect and manage my trusts assets.

Not worth the bps if you're either older or already tax savvy. Index funds make more sense.

Fees are a big deal and in the end it is what separates out startups like wealthfront from bigger players. Vanguard has low fees and you know what... wealthfront is better on some funds. Much better interface to track your investments though.

I was able to link my Wealthfront account to my bank account allowing me to almost immediately transfer funds into my Wealthfront account.

With wealthfront I was able to consolidate multiple 401(k)s from previous employers into a single IRA.

If you look at your 401K you will notice tremendous fees going to the people running these funds. Not so for wealthfront and if you are still in your 30s this adds up to quite a bit of money by the time you are 65.

Very easy to set up and invest with zero hassle. Return is only ok... Good for those who don't want to spend too much time optimizing assets, but not the product for people who are hoping to gain serious return.

Wealthfront helped me to create an IRA so that I don't have to pay taxes on earnings until I withdraw the funds, and I get immediate tax benefits on contributions.

This is the wrong place to invest. It is going to cost you a lot because all your investments will be gone before you know it. It is a well designed platform for attracting naive investors who unknowingly make profits they can't withdraw in the actual sense of it. I fell victim and felt their wrath. Lost $******* to them initially and made another $5000 deposit to recover my lost $$ based on advice from an assigned account manager. They got exposed when Gammarecoup dot tech stepped in and made recovery possible by suing them, holding them liable for what they had done. I got compensated too, it took a while but justice got served.

I don't know if it's just better than putting your money in your own index fund ETF.

Wealth Front is an easy way to manage personal investments with lower fees than a traditional wealth management or brokerage firm. I like to do a lot of my own investing so it suited me just fine. I don't know how it compares to Vanguard and other low-cost providers but I've been impressed by Wealth Front so far.
