What happens when I change my Invest portfolio?

When you change your portfolio, we'll rebalance your portfolio, so your investments match the allocations of your new portfolio. That might mean selling some of your existing investments and buying new ones.

That means that while you can change your portfolio anytime, we don't recommend doing it too often. Acorns is built on the time-tested investing principle of sticking with it — you want to give your investments time in the market! And, there can also be potential tax implications whenever you sell an investment. 

Visit our Tax Center to learn more about how taxes work with your investments. Your tax situation is unique, so you may want to talk to a tax professional or visit www.irs.gov to figure out what applies to you and what you may need to report.

Acorns doesn't provide tax advice, but if you have any questions or concerns about your account, please contact us.
