Does anyone have an investment account with WealthFront?

I opened an Investment Savings account with them recently. I also have my 401k (employer sponsored) and high-interest savings accounts "connected" there as well.

So I can see it all on my dashboard, which is nice.

I really like this investment account I've opened -- curious to see if anyone else uses them.

Yes, I use Wealthfront as one of my investment accounts.

If you like seeing all your things on one dash board, you should check out Mint.com. It's just a dashboard that captures account information from just about every company there is. I can see my account balances from all the banks I use (all of them, to diversify), all of the credit card balances (again, lots of cards for healthy debt to credit ratio), and all of my investment accounts (401k, brokerage accounts, etc). It even estimates the value of your home and vehicle and adds it to dashboard as assets.

WealthFront by itself is good stuff though. Ultra-Low fee managed funds, over the long run, tend to do very well compared to managed funds. I like that it also does the tax loss harvesting for you.

My wife and I also use Betterment for automatic investing. We both have different savings styles, so we maintain separate investment accounts to diversify how our money grows.

I also use Motif, which allows you to trade bundles of up to 30 stocks at once like a mini-mutual fund. My Motif bundle has a 10.1% rate of return for the past 30 days, a 89.6% 12 month return, and a 158.4% return since I started the motif in April 2015. But that's literally just gambling (not "investing") as there's no guarantee the motif will continue to perform well.

I like PersonalCapital better than Mint. I think it has a much better dashboard. The only downside is that you get some spam from them trying to get you to use their investment services.

I'm still really liking WealthFront. I contribute to my investment account monthly and I am seeing decent returns. The mobile app is great too.
