Investment — Betterment?

Hi Terry,

Have you heard of Betterment? What do you think of it being a good investment for young people and for the people who are new to investing?

Terry Says:  Yes, here’s a link to a column I wrote earlier this year, mentioning Betterment, Wealthfront, and other “robo-advisors.”  They are creating new, inexpensive ways for individuals to invest and get advice and diversification.  I highly recommend these services — with one caveat.  Make sure you are investing inside an IRA so the gains grow tax-deferred.
