Betterment’s Licensed Concierge Team offers support for individuals transferring assets to Betterment of $20,000 or more, and receives incentive compensation based on assets brought to or invested with Betterment. Betterment’s revenue varies for different offerings (e.g., Betterment Digital and Premium, Cash Reserve) and consequently Team members have an incentive to recommend the offering which results in the greatest revenue for Betterment. The marketing and solicitation activities of these individuals are supervised by Betterment to ensure that these individuals act in the client’s best interest.

Lower fees today can mean more money tomorrow.

A 401(k) with even a modest fee may cost you tens of thousands of dollars over time. The savings from rolling into a managed Betterment IRA of low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can add up to a more comfortable retirement.
