A few basics are necessary before you start using Wealthfront. We'll be covering Tax-loss harvesting and Portfolio rebalancing. Smart beta and the Portfolio line credit will also be covered. We'll also discuss Wealthfront's mobile app. Both apps are highly-rated and offer similar functionality to the desktop one. Non-Wealthfront users can also link their accounts to get financial planning insight. Wealthfront has a great help center. However, if you have any questions you can email customer service.
Tax-loss harvesting
Wealthfront's software allows clients to reap the maximum tax-loss harvesting advantages. This software helps clients harvest losses on a daily basis, which can yield a greater benefit than a manual end-of-year approach. However, the economic benefit of tax-loss harvesting depends on the overall tax profile of the client and his or her spouse. It also depends how long you hold the losses and what kind of investments you made.
Tax-loss harvesting is a great option, but it's risky. Transaction costs and tracking mistakes can negate the potential benefit. In addition, the benefit of tax-loss harvesting may be lessened if the market decline is smaller.
Portfolio rebalancing
Wealthfront provides proactive management of portfolio rebalancing to help you achieve better returns. They help you avoid tax and reduce risk by actively adjusting your investments. You can adjust the amount for each asset type or class to meet your personal goals.
Wealthfront Portfolio rebalancing involves matching assets with their old assets. This allows you to hold on to any short-term capital gain until they become long-term. You will enjoy lower tax rates. Wealthfront also offers index fund with lower turnover which reduces your tax burden.
Smart beta feature
Wealthfront's "Smart Beta" feature automatically adjusts the weighting of stocks to optimize return. This service, which is free to taxable investors, is available. It uses a risk-parity asset allocation strategy, and it uses dividend-paying ETFs. Additionally, it provides stock-level tax-loss harvesting.
Traditional index tracking relies on market capitalization. However, Smart Beta uses a multifactor approach. Wealthfront's model weighs stocks based upon a combination five factors instead of using market capitalization. Multi-factor models have been used for decades by institutional investors and were even awarded the Nobel Prize.
Portfolio credit
A portfolio line is a financial tool that allows you to borrow against the stock portfolio. This loan comes with attractive interest rates, flexible repayment terms, tax benefits, and other tax benefits. In addition, it allows you to spend the money as you wish. You should know that a portfolio credit line has its risks. Before making a decision about whether or not you want to use this tool for your career, you will need to consider your risk tolerance as well as your career discipline.
The portfolio credit option is more complicated and can take longer to obtain than a traditional line. However, these loans charge significantly less than those offered by credit card companies. The interest rates will vary depending on the account size, but a wealthfront portfolio line of credit typically has a rate between 2.40% and 3.65%. Wealthfront allows you the option to apply for more than one credit line, depending upon your financial situation.
