3 months agoAbout the Company
Wealthfront started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business, with the goal to unlock access to high-quality investment advice for millions who were underserved by the traditional institutions. They built one of the first automated investment products that allows you to invest in a personalized portfolio of thousands of companies in seconds for a remarkably low fee. They now work with partner banks to offer exceptional banking features through a Wealthfront Brokerage Cash Account, which makes it remarkably easy for people to automate their finances end-to-end and eliminated the hassle of money management, all of which resulted in attracting more than $50 billion of their client’s hard earned money, pioneering the robo-advisor category and transforming the broader industry. And yet, they have a long way to go to achieve our mission to build a financial system that favors people, not institutions.
