  4. Select how you’d like to build your portfolio:

    • See Gusto's Portfolio Recommendations: If you select this option, you’ll be asked a series of questions regarding your current age, estimated retirement age, and risk tolerance. Based on your answers, Gusto Investment Services will recommend a portfolio that suits your needs.

    • View All Portfolios: This option will allow you to toggle between all the managed portfolios offered by Gusto. You can review the various portfolios and a description of each by clicking on the “Less Risky” and “More Risky” buttons.
