THE INDUSTRY PROBLEM

The old way of managing money is broken.

When it comes to investing for the future, you’ve likely had a couple of options: You could do it yourself, or you could hand it off to an investment manager. The first can be tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone; the second has historically meant tolerating outdated technology and potential conflicts of interest.

YOU COME FIRST

We have one mission: To empower you to make the most of your money, so you can live better.

OUR STORY

You deserve a better way to invest.

Jon Stein created Betterment because he believed that people’s money should work as hard for them as they worked to earn it. By combining proven investment strategies with technology that drives down costs, Jon believed that people would finally have a way to make the most of their money.

OUR COMMITMENT

The new way of managing money puts you first.

We’re a fiduciary, which means we act in your best interests. We’re not incentivized to recommend certain funds, and we don’t have our own investment products to sell. That means we’ll do what we believe is right for you.

COULD YOU IMPROVE YOUR INVESTING APPROACH?

Now you can easily find out in five minutes. Betterment’s investment review helps assess your investment accounts, tax strategies, fees, and risk exposure.

Find out what you’re doing well, how you could improve, and where we might be able to help.

Low Costs

Expense ratios well below the industry average.

Low Taxes

Funds that are typically the most tax-efficient.

Optimal Risk

Exposure across domestic and international markets.

 

Allocate assets for optimal performance.

How your money is spread across stocks and bonds can impact your long-term returns. We’ll recommend how much risk to take on based on when you’ll need your money.

Invest across the world.

Your Betterment portfolio can benefit from growth in both developed and emerging markets, so you’re less exposed to the economy of any one country. Learn more.
