Betterment combines (or aggregates) client orders when possible, which can help improve pricing and execution quality. Aggregating trades enhances access to liquidity while maintaining client anonymity with execution venues. This aggregation only happens when it occurs naturally within the normal trading window.
Our approach emphasizes efficient, fair, and high-quality execution based on prevailing market conditions, not perfect timing. Our goal is to improve outcomes over time, not to chase daily price swings. For more information about trade execution, review our whitepaper.
