Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP) is a digital investment platform that combines intuitive technology with personalized guidance from a dedicated financial advisor. Unlike other online investment tools that typically require a large investment, Guided Wealth Portfolios requires just a $5,000 initial investment.*
New investors looking for a smaller initial investment.
Busy professionals who want automated investing with expert support.
Anyone seeking a cost-effective, goal-based investment strategy to grow their wealth with confidence and clarity.

The three-step portfolio building process:
What’s your goal? You’ll choose from three primary goal options:
Retirement: You want to potentially grow your account for retirement.
Major purchase: You want to save and invest for a home, car, vacation, etc.
General investing: You don’t have a specific goal in mind, but you want to start investing for the future.
What’s your investment horizon? If you’re investing for retirement or a major purchase, your investment time frame will be the key factor in determining your initial portfolio allocations.
What’s your risk preference? Next, you’ll answer a series of risk preference questions, either online or with your advisor to clarify your risk preferences, which are a key determining factor in your investment allocation track:
Taking on more risk, which means you’ll have relatively more equity exposure in your portfolio.
Taking on less risk, which means you’ll have relatively more fixed income exposure in your portfolio.
A mixed approach, which means you’ll have a relatively balanced mix of equity and fixed income exposure in your portfolio.
If you’re investing for retirement or a major purchase, you’ll get what’s called a portfolio glidepath, which will “glide” you toward your goal over time and work toward one of five investment objectives.
If you want to invest for general purposes, you’ll receive an investment allocation aligned with one of the five investment objectives based on your stated risk preference. Unlike the other two Guided Wealth Portfolios goals, the general investing goal isn’t tied to a specific timeline, so you will remain in that investment objective unless your risk preference changes.
