What is a robo-advisory account?
Robo-advisory accounts are financial investing services that automatically curate a diversified portfolio for their clients and maintain and rebalance the portfolio over time through algorithms. These algorithms help ensure efficient trading, helping keep portfolios aligned with asset allocations.
Intuitive Investor accounts are based on a hybrid advisory model that incorporates technology with Financial Advisors.

Risk tolerance is the degree of variability in investment returns that an investor is willing to withstand. Meaning, what is your ability and willingness to tolerate large swings in the value of your investments?

The Technology
Automation makes it easier.
Daily monitoring & rebalancing
Sophisticated algorithms your account allocations daily and trigger rebalancing to ensure they are always on track.
Why does daily monitoring matter?
Daily monitoring tracks the individual funds in your portfolio, looking for “portfolio drift.” This is when individual funds in your portfolio rise and fall in value, causing them to become unaligned with your goals. It allows for fluctuation within target ranges to avoid unnecessary or ineffective trading and rebalances your account only when needed.
Easy account access
View all your Wells Fargo accounts in one place with a single sign-on.
Recurring transfers
Set up recurring transfers to contribute to your account automatically.
Tax efficiency
Optional monitors for potential opportunities to reduce your tax liability.
What is Tax-Loss Harvesting?
This is an optional service that looks to strategically offset a portion of your realized capital gains by selling investments for a loss — potentially reducing your tax liability.
