The portfolio that is created for you consists of 30 stocks and bonds. All stocks in your portfolio are from the S&P 500, and all bonds are within the top 10 most traded bonds in the US. Your portfolio is always diversified and in line with your risk appetite. To learn more about your portfolio, and the individual stocks and ETFs in your portfolio, go to the 'Portfolio' section and click on your holdings.

Is my Pre-Built Portfolio actively managed for me?

Your portfolio is managed using a 'combination' approach. This means that it combines elements of both active and passive management. The active components include periodic rebalancing and tax loss harvesting to manage risk and maximize tax benefits.

Passive management refers to a 'buy-and-hold' strategy for your portfolio. A buy-and-hold approach is when you buy investments and hold onto them for a long time, instead of frequently buying and selling. The goal is to benefit from long-term market growth and minimize the impact of short-term market fluctuations.

Digital Investing Fees

The fees for Digital Investing vary depending on the type of portfolio selected and the underlying securities that make up the investment portfolio.

As such, Self-Directed "Non-Discretionary" Portfolios are not assessed a Management Fee but may be subject to imbedded fees depending on security choice and allocation.

Pre-Built "Limited-Discretionary Pre-Made" and Hybrid "Limited-Discretionary Hybrid" Portfolios will be assessed a .50% Management Fee. Management Fees are charged monthly in arrears and are automatically deducted from your Digital Investing account. For example, if you have an average balance of $1,000 in your Digital Investment account and choose either a Pre-Built Portfolios or Hybrid Portfolio you will pay $5.00 per year.
