===Acorns===
{{ main | Acorns (company) }}
Acorns is a robo-investor. They charge a flat monthly fee of $1. 
You can select between 5 different portfolios of ETFs based on your risk level.
Acorns invests in the following ETFs:
* Large Company Stock (VOO)
* International Large Company Stocks (VEA)
* Small Company Stock (VB)
* Corporate Bonds (LQD)
* Government Bonds (SHY)
* Real Estate Stock (VNQ)
* Emerging Market Stock (VWO)
;Notes
* Acorns charges $50 per ETF to transfer out via ACAT.
*: I no longer recommend Acorns since they can change their portfolio at any time and it will cost you $350 to transfer out.
*: Other brokers typically charge a much lower fixed rate to transfer out, if at all. E.g. Robinhood charges $75 and Vanguard doesn't charge anything.
====Later====
Acorns later is an IRA account. You need to upgrade to the $3 tier to get it.<br>
They offer a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and SEP IRA.<br>
You can signup and deposit money but you have no other choices.<br>
Your portfolio is selected by Acorns based on your age.
