Wealthfront Announces New Research-Backed Stock Collections To Help Clients Invest in Categories like Artificial Intelligence, Dividend Stocks, and more

Clients can now access more than 45 unique stock collections created by the company's Investment Team.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealthfront, a leading consumer fintech and pioneer of the robo-advisor industry, today announced new stock collections created by the company's Investment Team to navigate investment themes including artificial intelligence (AI) and inflation. Designed to help clients discover new investment opportunities, Wealthfront's Stock Investing Account offers zero commissions, fractional shares, curated stock collections, and requires just $1 to get started.

Wealthfront's Investment Team constantly monitors the changing investment landscape and evaluates opportunities to help clients invest in the latest industries and trends. Each stock collection is developed through a review of industry data in combination with internal analysis. Clients particularly love that all stock collections include pros and cons of each strategy that are rooted in data and research.

Investors can now access the following stock collections:

• AI Adopters: Businesses that effectively adopt AI could reduce costs and increase profits. Investors can use this collection to explore and invest in key companies that are already leading the way in AI adoption, including Broadcom (AVGO), CostCo (COST), Nvidia (NVDA), and more.
• Generative AI: Investors can use this collection to explore and invest in companies developing the technology that makes generative AI applications possible, including Alphabet (GOOGL), IBM (IBM), Microsoft (MSFT), and more.
• Large-Cap, High Dividend Payers: Dividend stocks are often correlated with inflation protection, diversification strategies, stability, and cash flow. Investors can use this collection to explore and invest in large-cap companies paying dividends that yield more than the 10-year Treasury yield, including Chevron (CVX), Pfizer (PFE), Verizon (VZ), and more.

"The recent market momentum and advancements in artificial intelligence have created a renewed interest in stocks, but investors are having a hard time navigating persistent inflation and recession predictions," said Dave Myszewski, Vice President of Product at Wealthfront. "They want to make smart, long-term investments and are hungry for research-driven guidance. This is the gap our stock collections fill and we're excited to expand these insights to additional categories."

Wealthfront's stock collections are designed to help investors think beyond individual companies to create a portfolio of stocks according to a broader investment theme. Clients can also start by searching for a particular stock and find related investment opportunities. Other stock collections recently added to the platform include: Internet of Things, Quantum Computing, and Virtual and Augmented Reality.

Wealthfront's Stock Investing Account is an ideal complement to the company's innovative suite of saving and investing products. Wealthfront also offers a high-yield Cash Account with a 4.80% APY and up to $5M FDIC insurance both through partner banks, an Automated Bond Portfolio featuring a 5.75% blended 30-day SEC yield* net of advisory fees (as of August 8, 2023), and an award-winning Automated Investing Account for long-term wealth building through a diversified portfolio of low-cost index funds.
