How do I see Early Invest account balances?

Good question! Here’s how to view your Early Invest account balance:

1. Log into your Acorns account
2. Select "Early" on the Home screen, or select the child's account that you'd like to view
3. Scroll to a child’s name to see the account balance

You can also explore the Early Invest portfolio by tapping “Portfolio” from the Early Invest account screen. 

Viewing the account balance and portfolio can be a great way to talk to your child about investing for the long-term. Here are a few investing strategies you can share: 

1. Investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick to your long-term money goals over the temptation of quick-win schemes.
2. The market moves up and down. When you see a dip in balance or performance, remember that even through its historical dips, the U.S. stock market has grown 10% on average per year.
3. Invest early, and invest often. The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has in the market! The more regularly you invest even small amounts, the better chance you have to save and grow long term.
