Uses Wealthfront's automated investing feature and finds its tax-loss harvesting better than the S&P 500 Direct, with far fewer small trades.

It's how well reviewed Wealthfront Automated Investing is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Robo-advisor. Type: Robo-advisor. Fees: 0.25% annual advisory fee. Rates & rewards: Automated tax-loss harvesting; direct indexing for accounts over $100,000. Minimum: Invest with as little as $500.
