We recently sat down with @morganhousel, the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, for a conversation about how best to handle market chaos, geopolitical chaos, and whatever it is the AI companies are doing. Here’s a condensed version of the conversation–find more in our newsletter, Vested Interest: wealthfront.com/vested-inter…

Our next question: Is it weird that the stock market keeps going up when there’s so much uncertainty about inflation, war, and AI? @morganhousel says: “If you look at history, there’s never been a moment in which the future was clear... If you’re an investor waiting for the clouds to part, there’s always going to be things to worry about. Investing is enduring that uncertainty. That’s what you’re getting paid for, over time.”

The final question: How has your investing philosophy changed over time? @morganhousel's answer: “I started day trading stocks and it didn’t work. And then I was like, ‘oh, I’m going to be a long-term investor—I’m going to hold stocks for five days at a time.’ And I kept losing money. I’d been investing for two or three years before I was like, I should just invest in low-cost index funds.” —------- The content provided is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation of any particular security or strategy.

How much is the suburban dream–an acre of land, an in-ground pool, and a house within an hour's commute of a major metro? Assuming you follow the rule of thumb that suggests spending about 30% of your income on housing, the total household income needed is anywhere from $115,000 to $630,000 (depending on where you look). That amount of space comes at a premium in very high cost-of-living metros, but could be achieved at a more reasonable price if you’re open to looking elsewhere. Of course, you could always consider the South of France, where the same type of home has a median price of $1.1 million, according to WSJ. Sounds like a steal!

Wealthfront recently surpassed an exciting milestone as we continue to build towards becoming the leading financial platform helping digital natives build wealth. Our product suite now holds more than $100 billion in total platform assets, doubling from $50 billion in less than three years. This growth reflects the shared success of the over 1.5 million clients who trust us to help them achieve their most important financial goals, and is a testament to our focus on using technology to help improve financial outcomes. Since pioneering automated investing when we launched in 2011, Wealthfront has grown into a full wealth management platform helping clients save, spend, borrow, and invest to support every stage of life. Here’s a deeper look into the differentiators that have driven our growth. 👇

① Our early bet on digital natives While legacy institutions and media narratives have continued to underestimate younger generations, we bet early on their potential. Millennial and Gen Z investors have proven incredibly resilient against economic headwinds—in just the last five years, our millennial and Gen Z clients have, on average, nearly tripled and quadrupled their wealth on our platform, respectively. ② Our client-first business model Our business model is designed so our incentives are aligned with helping clients build wealth. Instead of relying on transactions, hidden fees, or expensive human advisors, we earn revenue when clients grow their assets with us. As our automated, long-term strategies help our clients' money grow, our business scales alongside them. This product-led growth strategy creates a powerful flywheel that compounds on itself. ③ Our evolution to a full wealth management platform As our clients' needs have changed, we've evolved our product suite to support them through new life stages and any macroeconomic environment.

Remember NFTs? Turns out they aren’t that expensive anymore. The peak of the Web3 era may have passed, but there was a moment where ownership of ape .jpgs was all the rage (even infamously making it onto the Tonight Show). But the most notable Bored Ape NFT purchases have not fared well in the marketplace, dropping over 90% in market value.

Did you know that more than 70% of users on prediction markets lose money? (Source: WSJ) When it comes to prediction markets and traditional sports betting, getting any type of return is tough. And even though results are definitely not guaranteed, the ability to be on anything from the outcome of global conflicts to celebrity weddings has been rising in popularity. What do you want to know about prediction markets? — Information is from reliable sources, but accuracy and completeness aren't guaranteed.
