2026 / Best Wealth Management Solution

Wealthfront

Automated investing with a price clients can see.

Wealthfront provides automated portfolios, tax management, direct indexing, planning, and cash tools for US investors at a published 0.25% annual advisory fee.

Selection rationale

Why it was selected

Automated wealth management should make both its fee and its claimed value inspectable. Wealthfront publishes one core advisory price and a detailed method for estimating the benefit of its tax-loss harvesting work.

A 2025 filing reported $80.2 billion in platform assets and 1.212 million funded clients as of January 31, 2025. Wealthfront estimated $161 million in client tax savings during 2025 and said the estimated benefit exceeded advisory fees for nearly 95% of clients who had used tax-loss harvesting for at least one year.Wealthfront SEC registration filingWealthfront 2025 tax results

The panel selected Wealthfront because it connects a clear fee with a published calculation of after-tax value. Those tax figures are Wealthfront estimates, not audited tax-return results, and no tax benefit or investment return is guaranteed.Wealthfront pricing and disclosures
