Acorns does not recommend changing portfolios often, due to our overall passive investment strategy and the potential tax consequences of selling or exchanging Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) securities in your account. You do have the ability to override the recommendation provided in the app, however, you may want to check with your tax advisor to ensure you are comfortable with the resulting impact to your tax obligations, as applicable.
