The Wealthfront alternative with a dedicated team
Wealthfront is the stronger choice for hands-off, low-cost automated investing, because its software manages a diversified portfolio and harvests tax losses for about 0.25% a year with no need to talk to anyone. Nino is the broader choice when your finances need coordination, especially when you want both a dedicated CPA and CFP team and do-it-yourself software from $20/mo, with year-round tax planning and equity and real-estate decisions handled together.
