What Walnut does, and what it doesn't.

What does Walnut do?

Short answer

Walnut reads your brokerage accounts, shows how each holding compares with the S&P 500, and helps you build and buy baskets. It places an order only after you approve it.

Your money stays at your broker. At most brokers Walnut only reads, and you place orders yourself.

Is Walnut a financial advisor?

Short answer

Walnut is an AI financial advisor app, not a registered investment adviser. It gives you a read on your holdings, and the decision stays with you.

Walnut never holds your money and charges no fee on your assets.
