Wealthfront was founded with an audacious mission: to make sophisticated financial advice available to everyone. Over the past few years, we\u2019ve built powerful and low-cost automated solutions that help our clients invest their money and meet their financial goals. Today, we\u2019re excited to take a huge leap toward realizing our mission by launching free financial planning<\/a>! Now, when you download the Wealthfront mobile app, you can choose to get started by building a financial plan \u2014 without any cost or obligation \u2014 before opening an investment account.<\/p>\n

In the two years that clients have enjoyed access to our automated financial planning, we\u2019ve seen their engagement with planning correlate to an actual increase in how much they save. For the first time ever, everyone has access to the world-class financial advice that our data shows could help a client have nearly $1.25 million more at retirement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to plan your finances<\/h2>\n

Identifying your financial priorities and understanding what\u2019s possible feels like the right thing to do. But actually doing it isn\u2019t very easy. When it comes to financial planning on your own there are disparate online calculators, but they each only address one topic, like buying a home. So to have an accurate view of all of your finances, you have to create and maintain a spreadsheet. Alternatively you can schedule a call with an advisor, but it often can feel like an impersonal interview with a call center rather than a discussion about your most important financial decisions.<\/p>\n

In contrast, we\u2019ve designed our planning experience to be easy, personalized, and best of all delightful<\/em>. We eliminated the need to schedule a call, build a spreadsheet, or fill out endless paperwork. By linking your financial accounts to your plan, you won\u2019t need to manually input or update your account details. The more accounts you link, the better the advice.<\/p>\n
