Choosing investments

We believe investing starts with setting goals and creating a diversified portfolio that matches your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Our tools can help you find investment ideas in stocks, bonds, ETFs, or mutual funds. Still not sure where to start? Explore our Get Invested pathway or try our account selector.

You may want to explore prebuilt, professionally managed portfolios to match your goals. Target allocation funds maintain a fixed asset mix based on your risk tolerance. Digitally managed stock portfolios let you target specific types of stocks, like large-cap US stocks. Or, explore mutual fund strategies or prebuilt ETF portfolios.

Our Get Invested pathway and account selector can also help guide you.

If you are looking for help building a diversified portfolio, there are a range of options, from a robo advisor, where you answer a few questions online and get an investment mix, to working 1-on-1 with an advisor.

If you want help with just one asset class or objective within your broader portfolio, consider separately managed accounts or professionally managed stock portfolios.
