This investment analysis tool presents hypothetical outcomes. Modeled portfolio performance is based on the selected portfolio strategy, risk level, account type, initial investment, and Betterment's management fees. Projected performance assumes the portfolio maintains the target allocation for the entire period, is comprised of the primary funds, includes fund-level fees, and rebalances periodically. Individual performance results may vary over time.
