How the annual advisory fee is calculated: Each month you are charged an advisory fee equal to 1/365 (1/366 on a leap year) of the annual rate multiplied by the net market value of your invested assets as of the close of markets for each day in the month. Tax-Loss Harvesting benefits depend on your tax and investment profile. New securities may perform better or worse than those sold, and tracking errors could cause slight divergence from benchmarks. Unintended tax effects may occur. Wealthfront does not provide tax advice. Consult a tax professional.
Our standalone direct indexing portfolios (S&P 500 Direct and Nasdaq-100 Direct) invest in many stocks in their respective underlying index, but they may not invest in all stocks in the index. Its performance may deviate from its associated index due to tracking error, market conditions, and limitations of Tax-Loss Harvesting. Account size and customization options, such as excluding individual stocks, may affect your portfolio’s ability to track its underlying index. Since indices are not available for direct investment, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the management of an actual portfolio.
