Betterment 100 Portfolio

Details

The Betterment 100 Portfolio is an option provided by Betterment Robo-Advisor that invests 100% of the portfolio in stocks.

It’s looking to achieve global diversity by investing in US and international stocks.

The portfolio also seeks to increase returns by allocating a portion to Value stocks, which have historically performed better.

One thing to keep in mind with this profile is it does not account for the Tax Loss Harvesting offered by Betterment.

This is only a backtest of the 100% Stocks asset allocation.
