High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This means that even if Wealthfront's errors cost you thousands of dollars in investment losses, you likely cannot recover more than $100 through a lawsuit against them.

Consumer impact

Consumers using Wealthfront agree to a $100 maximum liability cap, meaning Wealthfront cannot be held financially responsible for investment losses or damages beyond that amount regardless of the cause. Wealthfront can terminate your account at any time without notice and at its sole discretion. You can close your User Account at any time by emailing support@wealthfront.com.

Applicable agencies

  • SEC
    As an SEC-registered investment adviser, Wealthfront's liability limitations may implicate fiduciary duty standards under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
