Returns in the report are comparable estimates from each advisor's published performance, shown net of advisory fees so you can compare them. They are for comparison — not a forecast, and they will not match any one account. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This is educational, not personalized advice.

Pros

  • Daily tax-loss harvesting can meaningfully improve after-tax returns
  • Low $500 minimum to get started
  • Clean, modern app and transparent portfolio construction

Cons

  • 0.25% fee is standard, not the cheapest available
  • No human advisor access on the core plan
  • Tax-loss harvesting only benefits taxable accounts

Wealthfront FAQ

Yes — Wealthfront runs daily tax-loss harvesting on taxable accounts, which can improve after-tax returns. It only helps in taxable accounts, not IRAs or 401(k)s.
