Review Wealthfront Brokerage LLC with FINRA’s BrokerCheck here.

The Cash Account is offered by Wealthfront Brokerage LLC (”Wealthfront Brokerage”), Member of FINRA / SIPC . Neither Wealthfront Brokerage nor any of its affiliates are a bank, and the Cash Account itself is not a deposit account. The Annual Percentage Yield (”APY”) on cash deposits as of 11/7/25, is representative, requires no minimums, and may change at any time. The APY for the Wealthfront Cash Account represents the weighted average of the APY on the aggregate deposit balances of all clients at insured depository institutions that participate in our cash sweep program (the ”Program Banks”). Wealthfront sweeps available cash balances to Program Banks where they earn a variable rate of interest and, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, are eligible for FDIC insurance. A list of current Program Banks can be found here: [www.wealthfront.com/programbanks] . Deposit balances are not allocated equally among the participating program banks. FDIC pass-through insurance is not provided until the funds arrive at the Program Banks, and protects against the failure of Program Banks, not Wealthfront. While cash balances are at Wealthfront Brokerage, and while they are transitioning to and/or from Wealthfront Brokerage to the Program Banks, they are not eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance, but are eligible for SIPC protection, subject to the limit of $250,000 for cash. FDIC insurance coverage is limited to $250,000 for the total amount of all deposits a customer holds in the same ownership capacity per banking institution, regardless of whether those deposits are placed through Wealthfront Brokerage, so you are responsible for monitoring your total deposits at each Program Bank to avoid exceeding FDIC limits. Wealthfront Brokerage partners with more than one Program Bank to make available up to $8 million (or up to $16 million for joint accounts) of FDIC pass-through coverage for your cash deposits. For more information on FDIC insurance coverage, please visit www.FDIC.gov . Customers are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each of the Program Banks to determine the extent of available FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with FDIC rules. The deposits at Program Banks are not covered by SIPC.

The effectiveness of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to reduce the tax liability of the client will depend on the client’s entire tax and investment profile, including purchases and dispositions in a client’s (or client’s spouse’s) accounts outside of Wealthfront Advisers and type of investments (e.g., taxable or nontaxable) or holding period (e.g., short-term or long-term).

Wealthfront Advisers and its affiliates do not provide legal or tax advice and do not assume any liability for the tax consequences of any client transaction. Clients should consult with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing with Wealthfront Advisers and engaging in these tax strategies, based on their particular circumstances. Clients and their personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions conducted in an account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority on the investor’s personal tax returns. Wealthfront Advisers assumes no responsibility for the tax consequences to any investor of any transaction.

Diversification and automated investing do not guarantee profit or ensure against loss. Investor experiences can vary widely based on strategies and time horizons. Index funds and ETFs generally offer broad diversification, but may still expose investors to specific market, sector, or asset class risks. Wealthfront provides investment management services but may not achieve returns comparable to those of the general market or specific benchmarks.
