Nov 16 (Reuters) - Digital wealth management provider Wealthfront, a pioneer in automated investing, now oversees more than $50 billion in assets and is set to grow revenue by more than 140% this year, the company said on Thursday.
Wealthfront was founded in 2008 by Andy Rachleff and Dan Carroll and launched automated investing services in 2011.
It is a pioneer in using artificial intelligence to craft low-cost investment portfolios for Americans.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed a rule aimed at managing how AI is used to provide investment advice.
"We're trying to take the best investment advice that we can through academic research and make that available at low cost to as many clients as we possibly can," he said.
