1. Allocations may vary slightly if the Sustainability Focused portfolio is selected. An investment's social policy could cause it to forgo opportunities to gain exposure to certain industries, companies, sectors or regions of the economy, which could cause it to underperform similar investments that do not operate under a social policy. There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing an investment portfolio and ESG data is only one component to potentially consider.
2. The Intuitive Investor program is not designed for excessively traded or inactive accounts and is not appropriate for all investors. Please carefully review the Wells Fargo Advisors advisory disclosure document for a full description of our services. The minimum account size for this program is $500.

If your Intuitive Investor account is not linked to a Wells Fargo Bank Prime Checking, Premier Checking or Private Bank Interest Checking account within 90 days, the discounted advisory fee will no longer apply and the standard advisory fee of 0.35% will apply.

What is automated investing?
Automated investing, also called robo-investing or robo advisor, refers to the use of technology and algorithms to create diversified portfolios for investors and to monitor and re-balance the holdings as needed. Rebalancing keeps the asset allocation within a defined range based on the portfolio’s risk/reward profile.
Wells Fargo Intuitive Investor provides automated investment services plus access to Financial Advisors at no additional cost.
What is risk tolerance?
Risk tolerance, also known as risk appetite, is the degree of variability (risk) in investment returns that an investor is willing to withstand. We evaluate your risk appetite and recommend a portfolio based on your answers to the Intuitive Investor questionnaire.
Globally Diversified
A Globally Diversified* portfolio balances risk and reward by investing in domestic and foreign markets.
*Keep in mind that diversification cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns.
Sustainability Focused
A Sustainability Focused portfolio strives to provide investors with globally diversified* investments that have a measurable positive impact on the environment and society, by incorporating Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors, while attempting to achieve risk and returns similar to traditional investment portfolios.
*Keep in mind that diversification cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns.
What is daily monitoring?
Daily monitoring tracks the performance of individual funds in your portfolio to ensure the asset allocation stays within an acceptable range. It allows for fluctuation within target ranges to avoid unnecessary or ineffective trading and rebalances your account only when needed.
What is compounding?
Compounding is the ability of an asset to generate earnings, which are then reinvested, or remain invested, with the goal of generating their own earnings. Over time, compounding can significantly increase your wealth.
What is dollar-cost averaging?
With dollar-cost averaging, rather than try to time the market, and end up buying and selling at the wrong time, you invest your money in equal portions, at regular intervals, regardless of the ups and downs in the market.
