The Future Of Investing: Fintech 50 2025

Wealthfront, which was founded in 2008, made the first Fintech 50 list in 2015. It’s been growing too fast to ignore. With $80 billion in total assets, up from $55 billion a year ago, it has left every other new-age robo-advisor in the dust. Its revenue grew 46% last year and has soared 260% in a two-year span, from $80 million in 2022 to $289 million in 2024.


The Future Of Investing: Fintech 50 2024

Wealthfront, the Palo Alto, California-based robo-advisor which was on our very first Fintech 50 list for 2015, is making a triumphal return. In 2023, its revenue grew 150% to $200 million and assets under management grew 76% to $55 billion thanks to new products like an automated bond portfolio that is yielding around 5.5%.


Tech stocks’ wild ride makes the case for index-fund investing, says Wall Street guru Burt Malkiel

In a letter to Wealthfront investors released Tuesday, Malkiel reminds readers that trying to pick a sector of the stock market that will outperform the rest is akin to trying to time the market: a losing prospect. The best practices for building wealth via investing remain the basics, including “broad diversification, indexing, minimizing costs and taxes, rebalancing, and staying the course.”
