I started using wealthfront to invest in ETFs. Only have 401k other than this. Should I keep or move to Vanguard or some other brokerage? If you have been using wealthfront, how has it performed

Keep in mind that international markets tanked this year. The modeled portfolio is designed to reduce volatility while providing similar or greater potential growth over time. One year comparison to the S&P is a poor way to evaluate it.

None of this is to say that I don’t think you could be better off investing your money elsewhere, merely a general comment about the comparison

@Manager1 - if I am a passive investor, where else would be a better option than robo ETF investors? As you can tell, I am new to investing

Relative to SnP?

Are Wealthfront’s fees equal or lower for ETFs than other brokerages? Usually these ETFs have low overhead costs and there’s no need to overpay for a fund that is just designed to track the exchange.
