I use Wealthfront. Performance vs SPY is comparable, but it can depend on your risk preferences. I like it because it abstracts away the underlying securities & I don’t have to worry about it. I also like their feature that lets you borrow against your portfolio at a fairly low rate (less than 4% for me), which is a painless way to tap into credit if you need to for pick a reason. I think it’s a great option for anyone looking to keep investing as simple as possible.

The comparison isn’t really performance. It’s more fee adjusted returns. Obviously Wealthfront likely has an index itself that it uses, but the fees are 10X (0.03 for Fidelity be around 0.3 for Wealthfront).

Are you comparing this to fidelity's target date retirement fund?
