About Betterment
Betterment pioneered the robo-advisor space and remains one of the best entry points for new investors. The goal-based approach — I want to retire at 60 or I am saving for a house in 5 years — makes investing feel less abstract and more actionable.
The platform handles asset allocation, rebalancing, and tax optimization automatically. The Premium plan ($4/mo + 0.25% AUM) adds human financial advisors for complex planning like tax strategy and estate planning.
No account minimum for the digital plan. The high-yield cash account (currently 4.75% APY) competes well with Wealthfront. The crypto portfolio option is a nice add-on if you want 5-10% crypto exposure without managing a separate wallet.
