Webull launched Managed Bond Portfolios on Monday, marking its advisory arm’s first discretionary fixed-income product for U.S. retail investors. Built on technology from New York’s Moment, the service offers two automated strategies: Enhanced Cash, holding short-term Treasuries with a $500 minimum at 15 basis points annually, and High Income, blending investment-grade and high-yield debt with a $2,000 minimum at 30 basis points, targeting above 6% annualized returns. Webull claims traditional managed bond accounts demand $250,000 minimums and fees up to 1%, positioning its offering as significantly more accessible.
The move comes roughly two years after competitors entered automated bond management. Wealthfront launched its Treasury-focused Automated Bond Ladder in May 2024 at identical pricing to Webull’s cheaper tier, while Public.com introduced a semi-discretionary corporate bond basket the same year. Unlike Webull’s October 2025 self-directed bond trading feature, these new portfolios are fully discretionary, with Webull Advisors controlling all buy, sell, and reinvestment decisions.
