“We have simplified the Intuitive Investor platform to create a faster and better experience for both new and experienced investors,” said Michelle Moore, head of Digital for Consumer and WIM at Wells Fargo. “The minimum investment is now just $500, while the portfolios underpinning the platform are built by the Wells Fargo Investment Institute (WFII), including a new set of sustainability-focused portfolios. Investors can quickly find portfolio choices important to them.”

Additional enhancements include:

• Investment choice: In addition to globally diversified portfolios, Intuitive Investor now enables clients to choose from new sustainability-focused portfolios that are influenced by Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors. A study* found that 82% of millennials are interested in having some money in sustainable investments, and about half of baby boomers and Generation Xers expressed interest as well.
• Significantly lower account minimums: A new $500 minimum investment is down from $5,000.
• Simplified account opening: Clients can open an account via a streamlined mobile experience.

Today’s Intuitive Investor platform is another example of Wells Fargo’s strategy to transform digital personal finance. “With Intuitive Investor we are delivering a digital experience that makes investing easy and automated,” said Moore. “We’re committed to simplifying the digital investing experience for our clients and Intuitive Investor is an important step.”

Backed by Wells Fargo Investment Institute, Intuitive Investor is an automated investing platform that makes it easy and convenient for clients to invest where they bank. With just a few questions, the platform suggests a portfolio for users and the Intuitive Investor smart technology automatically monitors the account daily and rebalances assets as needed. Intuitive Investor is managed at a 0.35%** annual advisory fee, plus fund related expenses.

**Wells Fargo customers will receive a further discounted price of 0.30% annual advisory fee when their Intuitive Investor brokerage accounts are linked to Wells Fargo Bank Prime Checking, Premier Checking or Private Bank Interest Checking account with premium benefits.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Advisory programs are not designed for excessively traded or inactive accounts and are not appropriate for all investors. We need to review your investment objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs before we introduce appropriate managers/investment programs to you. Please carefully review the Wells Fargo Advisors advisory disclosure document for a full description of our services, including fees and expenses.

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. Risks associated with investing in ESG-related strategies can also include a lack of consistency in approach and a lack of transparency in manager methodologies. A socially responsible investing style may shift in and out of favor. There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing an investment portfolio and ESG data is only one component to potentially consider.

Intuitive Investor® accounts are offered through Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC.

Wells Fargo Investment Institute, Inc. is a registered investment adviser and wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a bank affiliate of Wells Fargo & Company.
