Managing My Account
-
At WealthMore, our experienced team of wealth professionals have done the research to build portfolios that make the most of your money so you don’t have to. You won’t be asked to pick and choose your own investments.
Our portfolios are a combination of stock ETFs and bond ETFs, which are globally diversified and personalized to your financial goals, risk preferences, l and time horizon. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a security that tracks an index, a commodity, or a basket of assets—just like an index fund—but trades like a stock on an exchange. We chose each ETF we invest your money in because of liquidity, diversification, and low management fees.
The stock ETFs we choose aim to efficiently capture the broad U.S. stock market, and international developed and emerging markets. Your money is invested in thousands of companies through fractional shares. Exactly how much of your portfolio is made up of which stocks depends on the exact target allocation.
Each portfolio is available at the individual goal level, and adjusts its recommended allocation or target income based on your preferences and time horizon.
-
No, you cannot invest in an individual stock or fund at WealthMore. We aim to invest in a globally-diversified portfolio (which includes over 5,000 companies) made up of low-cost and liquid ETFs. The portfolio was chosen to help provide optimal returns at every level of risk, and is rebalanced as the market fluctuates and as you grow closer to your goal’s end date, if you have a time horizon set.
We believe in passive investing. The majority of the evidence shows that active management, whether by individual investors or fund managers, can cause more harm than good in net-of-fee returns. This is why we invest in low-cost, passive investments and seek to match the market’s performance.
