I'm guessing a lot of folks here have accounts with Betterment. Does anyone else have a gut level feel that their Betterment account is under performing relative to their other accounts?
I have 2 accounts I started in April of 2015
1) A 401k with a new company
2) A taxable Betterment account
Both accounts have the same risk profile (90/10), both received dollars spread out between April and December 2015. Both lost money this year, but the Betterment account did significantly worse. This could have just been the luck of the draw based on the actual days my deposits went through, but I wonder if others are feeling bewildered by just how badly their Betterment accounts performed.
I have other accounts that also fared a lot better than the Betterment account this year, but since both of the above were started in April it seemed like a good one to compare.
