This is a fair market value price provided by Massive. Learn more. We’re a different kind of FinTech. We are a technology company that built a financial solutions platform for “digital natives,” defined as those born after 1980 (i.e., Millennials, Gen Z, and later generations). Our platform is designed to address the needs of the wealth builders within these generations. We have differentiated, trusted relationships with our clients due to our unique and fundamentally aligned incentives. Simply put, we succeed because our clients succeed. We were among the first digital-only financial solutions platforms(1), and we pioneered using automation to offer low-cost diversified portfolios. We built our platform using software to deliver our solutions quickly, conveniently, and at low cost. These principles align with the preferences of digital natives, who use digital platforms for the vast majority of their everyday services ranging from entertainment and commerce to food delivery and ride sharing. Our technology-driven financial solutions help clients turn savings into long-term wealth. Our broad suite of products, including cash management, investment advisory, borrowing and lending, and financial planning solutions, address the diverse financial needs of our clients regardless of the economic environment. We believe the opportunity we are pursuing is unique and massive. Digital natives are entering the prime wealth accumulation phase of their lives and are expected to be the wealthiest generations ever. According to a study we commissioned from Oxford Economics, the wealth of digital natives is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 11.3% from $12 trillion in 2022 to $140 trillion in 2045. During the Global Financial Crisis (“GFC”), digital natives lost trust in traditional financial institutions which they blamed for high unemployment and an economic downturn. Meanwhile, they embraced and became increasingly empowered by technology through intuitive, mobile, and software-focused experiences. This backdrop created an opportunity for Wealthfront to disrupt traditional brick-and-mortar, in-person, and high-cost financial product experiences. Our clients are primarily digital-native high earners who prioritize savings and wealth accumulation. Since inception, our platform assets have grown in-line with the wealth accumulation of these generations. As of July 31, 2025, we had over 1.3 million funded clients, and $88.2 billion in platform assets. Digital natives typically have large liquid savings with long time horizons ahead, and they are undeterred by corrections and bear markets. Clients typically come to Wealthfront seeking a specific solution and, as our trust-based relationship deepens, we gain insights into their evolving needs, in many cases through the data associated with third-party financial accounts they link to our financial planning software. Client engagement and feedback drive our product-led growth strategy and business flywheel. This continuous feedback loop constantly optimizes our platform for our clients’ evolving needs, fueling our historical organic growth. Over the past two fiscal years, over 50% of new clients were referred by existing clients and our annual client retention rate was approximately 95% for each of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. We are led by a technically proficient management team, including our CEO, who served as our CTO for many years. We built our products on a proprietary technology infrastructure. We have a strong, somewhat contrarian preference for building over buying or partnering. This allows us to automate to an extent not seen in the industry. Automation not only allows us to launch and iterate products faster, lower costs to clients, and offer a better overall client experience, but also lowers our cost of support. Automation is a core principle underpinning everything we do—the way we design our products, organize our company, and foster employee culture. Our business model is designed to optimize for our clients’ success. Our focus on delivering fully automated services results in being one of the lowest cost producers in each category in which we participate. We share the savings directly with our clients, significantly reducing their fees, improving their financial outcomes, and enhancing their trust in us. This trust leads clients to add more money to our platform as they save, adopt new products and refer their friends. Our cost structure and our organic growth are business model advantages, and have enabled us to achieve our historic profitability, which allows us to further invest in our platform. Reinvesting in our platform drives further automation and powers the continuous cycle of our flywheel. We seek to make money with, not from, our clients along their wealth accumulation journey. The alignment of incentives helps retain clients and drives more predictability in our business, as our clients trust us with an increasing amount of their wealth and adopt more than one product. Since inception, we have experienced significant growth. We rapidly scaled our number of clients and platform assets, all while sustaining high retention rates. Our platform assets increased from $57.6 billion as of January 31, 2024 to $80.2 billion as of January 31, 2025, representing 39% year-over-year growth, and from $71.4 billion as of July 31, 2024 to $88.2 billion as of July 31, 2025, representing 24% year-over-year growth.
