Who Should Consider Betterment?

Betterment is a great option for those aiming to invest with clear, long-term goals like saving for a home, building a college fund, or preparing for retirement. The platform requires no minimum deposit to open an account, though investing begins with a $10 minimum. Betterment is ideal for individuals looking for a simple, yet effective way to grow their savings for major financial milestones.

How Betterment Works

To get started, users provide basic information, such as age, income, and Social Security number. Next, they select financial goals, which may include building an emergency fund, long-term investing through a taxable account, or saving for retirement via an individual retirement account (IRA).

How Betterment Manages Investments

Betterment builds diversified portfolios using low-cost ETFs that track established indexes. The investment mix is tailored to a user’s profile and goals.
