“I am no longer using my accounts with Vanguard and Acorns because of the ease and overall confidence I have with Betterment.”

Keep more of what you earn with our tax-saving technology.
When an investment drops in value, we can sell it to capture the loss and buy a similar one to keep you invested. Those losses can offset capital gains and up to $3,000 of regular income each year.
Tax savings can even cover your fee
of customers using tax-loss harvesting covered their Betterment fees through estimated tax savings.**
Open both an IRA and a taxable investing account, and we'll place higher-taxed investments in the account where they're taxed least, coordinating across your accounts, not just within them.
Boost your returns with asset location
Putting your investments in the right accounts can add up to 0.30% a year to your after-tax returns (according to Vanguard).
“I love Betterment because of how easy it is to design my portfolio and manage it through their algorithms, auto-rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting. I’ve been with the big fund companies, and they don’t make it this easy.”

You have investing
questions. We have
answers.
-
No. We ask what you're investing for and how long you have, then recommend a portfolio and risk level. You can start there and learn as you go—most people find they understand more about their money six months in than they expected to.
-
There's no minimum to open an automated investing account. You can start with any amount and add to it whenever you want.
-
Our fee is $5 a month or 0.25% annually if you have at least $24,000 invested or set up $200 a month in recurring deposits. This fee unlocks all the benefits of automated investing: expert-built portfolios, ongoing advice, and tax-saving technology. Plus, eligible balances over $1M automatically receive progressive fee discounts.
-
You can change your risk level at any time, switch to a different expert-built portfolio, or build a custom portfolio with your own stocks and ETFs. We'll keep managing whichever one you choose.
-
Yes. You can easily transfer investments from another brokerage or roll over a 401(k) or IRA. We'll show you the estimated tax impact before anything moves, and our rollover team can help at no cost.
-
You can withdraw at any time, with no penalties for taxable investing accounts. Withdrawals from IRAs and 401(k)s may incur some penalties. We'll show you the estimated tax cost before you confirm, and sell in the order designed to minimize it.
-
When a holding drops below what you paid for it, we can sell it to realize the loss and buy a similar investment to keep your portfolio on target. The loss can offset capital gains and up to $3,000 of regular income a year. It isn't suitable for every investor. See how it works.
