Wealthfront AUM

While Betterment was the first independent online financial advisor to reach $10 billion in AUM in 2017, Wealthfront accomplished this milestone a year later in 2018. As of October 2025, Wealthfront’s AUM increased and reached over $90 billion.

Wealthfront valuation

Wealthfront’s impressive valuations over the years can be attributed to the significant investments it has been able to attract from venture capitalists. By 2014, the company had secured over $65 million in funding, leading to a valuation of over $700 million. The company continued to receive funding and reached over $120 million in funding by the end of 2015. This valuation remained valid until 2018 when it was decreased to around $500 million

In 2022, UBS announced its intention to acquire Wealthfront in a deal worth $1.4 billion. However, the deal was later terminated in September 2022.

Since then, Wealthfront has remained independent and is moving toward a public listing: in 2025 it filed for an IPO under the ticker “WLTH”.

Wealthfront revenue

Wealthfront generates revenue through various sources. The company’s primary revenue source is the annual management fee charged on AUM, which is only 0.25%. In addition, Wealthfront generates revenue through its lending program, “Portfolio Line of Credit” which allows clients to borrow against their investment accounts at a borrowing rate of 7.65% – 8.90% APR. The company also generates revenue through its debit card.

Wealthfront is a privately held company and is not required to disclose its financial statements publicly. However, we can estimate the company’s revenue by calculating its portfolio management fees. Based on the company’s AUM of $90 billion and the annual management fee of 0.25%, Wealthfront’s revenue from portfolio management fees alone could be over $225 million. Therefore, it is reasonable to estimate that Wealthfront’s overall revenue exceeds $225 million after including the other revenue segments.

Conclusion

In summary, Wealthfront has become a major player in the digital wealth management industry, providing its users with low-cost, advanced investment strategies and a user-friendly platform. 

With its AUM reaching $90 billion as of October 2025, it is now among the largest Robo-advisors by AUM. This growth proves that Wealthfront was capable of attracting and retaining investors with its innovative investment management services and diverse range of financial products.

Despite the failed UBS acquisition, the company remains poised for continued growth and expansion, supported by ongoing innovation and technological improvement.

Now, with its planned IPO on the Nasdaq under the ticker “WLTH”, Wealthfront enters a new chapter as it seeks to expand its reach and strengthen its position within the global fintech landscape. As more investors turn to digital platforms to manage their wealth, Wealthfront is well-positioned to benefit from this trend and continue making a significant impact on the financial industry.
