INVESTING

Low-cost, ETF-based portfolios make it easy to diversify your investments across thousands of stocks and bonds while keeping costs down.

  • Our Investing and Capital Markets Teams monitor our portfolios, making adjustments when necessary to account for major market changes.

  • We don’t just choose stocks. Our experts review and score assets, and run portfolio simulations against various scenarios to help measure expected long-term performance.

  • As a fiduciary, it’s our job to act in your best interest. We’ll never recommend investments or give you guidance unless we believe it’ll help you reach your financial goals.

Automated investing technology can perform multiple sophisticated, time-saving actions on your behalf, helping optimize your money.

  • Automated rebalancing helps keep your portfolio at the preferred risk level as markets fluctuate and assets change in value. And we use deposits and automated dividend reinvestment to rebalance tax-efficiently.

  • Recurring deposits and transfers help you save regularly without having to remember to do so. Just set the amount and frequency, and we handle the rest.

  • Tax Coordination helps us optimize your after-tax returns by strategically holding investments in each account type.

*Current promotional rate. The annual percentage yield ("APY") on the deposit balances in Betterment Cash Reserve ("Cash Reserve") is 4.75% and represents the weighted average of the APY on deposit balances at the banks participating in Cash Reserve (the "Program Banks") and is current as of 7/31/23, plus a .75% boost available as a special offer for 3 months with qualifying deposit. Terms apply; if the base APY increases or decreases, you’ll get the .75% boost on the updated rate. This APY is variable and subject to change daily. Deposit balances are not allocated equally among the participating Program Banks. A minimum deposit of $10 is required, but there is no minimum balance required to be maintained. The APY available to a customer may be lower if that customer designates a bank or banks as ineligible to receive deposits. APY applies only to Cash Reserve and does not apply to checking accounts held through Betterment Checking. Cash Reserve and Betterment Checking are separate offerings and are not linked accounts. Cash Reserve is only available to clients of Betterment LLC, which is not a bank, and cash transfers to program banks are conducted through the clients’ brokerage accounts at Betterment Securities.
