Automated Investing Account

Serious investing

made seriously easy

Open and fund $500 or more to a taxable Automated Investing Account with Wealthfront and we’ll give you an extra $50. Start investing for the long-term with globally diversified portfolios in just minutes.

This $50 Promotion (the “Promotion”) is solely available to prospective first-time Wealthfront clients (i.e., someone who has never opened or held any Wealthfront account but is eligible to do so) who may be eligible to receive a $50 cash bonus (the “Bonus”) provided the applicable requirements are met. To earn this Bonus, you must successfully open your first individual or joint Wealthfront taxable Automated Investing Account at Wealthfront Advisers LLC (an “Eligible Account”) by clicking the “Get Started” button on this promotional landing page while the Promotion is active, and fund the Eligible Account with an initial deposit of $500 or more, which is the standard minimum initial deposit required for Automated Investing Accounts. The Eligible Account must remain open and funded (i.e., must contain a positive balance) for at least 30 consecutive days (the “Promotional Period”) after the day on which the Eligible Account was opened and funded. If you meet these criteria and all other eligibility requirements as may be required by Wealthfront, Wealthfront will deposit the Bonus into your Eligible Account once the Promotional Period has been satisfied. 


Wealthfront reserves the right to modify or terminate this Promotion at any time without notice. Wealthfront has no obligation to open any account for any particular person, regardless of that person’s participation in any promotional program, and may accept or decline an application in its sole discretion. All eligibility decisions shall be made by Wealthfront in its sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, Wealthfront shall have sole discretion to determine whether any client qualifies for a Bonus (including, but not limited to, whether all applicable requirements have been met) and to disqualify any person from receiving a Bonus for any reason, including but not limited to, if Wealthfront determines, in its sole discretion, that fraudulent activity or a violation of applicable terms and conditions (including account opening requirements) may have occurred. Clients that receive a Bonus through this Promotion may not be eligible for any other account opening promotions offered by Wealthfront or its affiliates. All federal, state, and local taxes and any related fees and expenses are the sole responsibility of the client. This Promotion is solely available to individuals who sign up through the applicable promotional landing page and it cannot be transferred or otherwise applied to another individual.

The information contained in this communication is provided for general informational purposes only, and should not be construed as investment or tax advice. Nothing in this communication should be construed as tax advice, a solicitation or offer, or recommendation, to buy or sell any security. Any links provided to other server sites are offered as a matter of convenience and are not intended to imply that Wealthfront Advisers, Wealthfront Brokerage or any affiliate endorses, sponsors, promotes and/or is affiliated with the owners of or participants in those sites, or endorses any information contained on those sites, unless expressly stated otherwise.


Diversification and automated investing do not guarantee profit or ensure against loss. Investor experiences can vary widely based on strategies and time horizons. Index funds and ETFs generally offer broad diversification, but may still expose investors to specific market, sector, or asset class risks. Wealthfront provides investment management services but may not achieve returns comparable to those of the general market or specific benchmarks.


The effectiveness of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to reduce the tax liability of the client will depend on the client’s entire tax and investment profile, including purchases and dispositions in a client’s (or client’s spouse’s) accounts outside of Wealthfront Advisers and type of investments (e.g., taxable or nontaxable) or holding period (e.g., short-term or long-term).


Wealthfront Advisers’ investment strategies, including portfolio rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting, can lead to high levels of trading. High levels of trading could result in (a) bid-ask spread expense; (b) trade executions that may occur at prices beyond the bid ask spread (if quantity demanded exceeds quantity available at the bid or ask); (c) trading that may adversely move prices, such that subsequent transactions occur at worse prices; (d) trading that may disqualify some dividends from qualified dividend treatment; (e) unfulfilled orders or portfolio drift, in the event that markets are disorderly or trading halts altogether; and (f) unforeseen trading errors. The performance of the new securities purchased through the tax-loss harvesting service may be better or worse than the performance of the securities that are sold for tax-loss harvesting purposes.


Tax loss harvesting may generate a higher number of trades due to attempts to capture losses. There is a chance that trading attributed to tax loss harvesting may create capital gains and wash sales and could be subject to higher transaction costs and market impacts. In addition, tax loss harvesting strategies may produce losses, which may not be offset by sufficient gains in the account and may be limited to a $3,000 deduction against income. The utilization of losses harvested through the strategy will depend upon the recognition of capital gains in the same or a future tax period, and in addition may be subject to limitations under applicable tax laws, e.g., if there are insufficient realized gains in the tax period, the use of harvested losses may be limited to a $3,000 deduction against income and distributions. Losses harvested through the strategy that are not utilized in the tax period when recognized (e.g., because of insufficient capital gains and/or significant capital loss carryforwards), generally may be carried forward to offset future capital gains, if any.
