High praise for advice

Here’s one more reason to consider Vanguard Digital Advisor® for online investment management: It’s an award winner!

Vanguard Digital Advisor was named Best Robo-Advisor for Low-Cost Investing by NerdWallet for the fourth year in a row.¹ And Morningstar ranked Vanguard Digital Advisor as the Best Overall Robo-Advisor in its annual Robo-Advisor Landscape report for the second straight year.²

Awarded January 2024, based on data as of October 2023.

NerdWallet―a personal finance company that offers money advice, tools, and impartial product reviews―described Digital Advisor as an affordable way to invest for retirement with low management fees, low investment expense ratios, and no additional account fees.

Awarded June 2023 based on data as of December 2022. Vanguard compensated Morningstar for permission to promote the award.

Vanguard was the only provider to earn Morningstar's “High” assessment for robo-advisors. Vanguard Digital Advisor's low annual fees and tailored investment approach were cited as the reasons the service stands out in a crowded field. Morningstar noted that Digital Advisor provides "comprehensive financial planning advice at a cheaper asset-based fee than any competing offering."
