It seems like a lot of people are signing up for Wealthfront. There are no management fees for a portfolio worth < 10k. They charge 0.25% for portfolios worth >10k. I'm somewhat new to investing in US securities (I just moved to the US). Sooo, how's this look?  Anything look drastically wrong? Wealthfront has me set at a risk level of 4/10, 1 being the least risky. I'm in my mid 30s and I have no debts, nor do I own a home. My car is paid for and I have no children. I'm happy to delete this thread and move my question to the newbie investment thread if it's more appropriate.

oRenj9 posted:I'd redistribute a good chunk of those bonds, especially into dividend stocks. Are their US funds that are more specific than "US Stocks?" That's an awfully broad category. This is what's in the US stocks. It's Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF. https://personal.vanguard.com/us/FundsSnapshot?FundId=0970&FundIntExt=INT What's the logic behind reducing my exposure to municipal bonds? Is it too conservative or just a lousy investment?

moana posted:I was looking at both Wealthfront and Betterment and it seems Wealthfront used to be a startup that actually did something with actively managed hedge funds. It kind of made me second guess WF as an investment site that can really be trusted, although what they have up now looks good. May I ask why you think it's bad that WF were involved with hedge funds? Does it imply their too close to being shyster sales people?

Didn't municipal bonds outperform like crazy in 2012?
