It's a fair concern. Both Wealthfront and Betterment are Broker dealers and they have legal obligations in the event of going out of business.

Wealthfront spells it out as: "In the unlikely event Wealthfront were to cease doing business, your account would be held by our brokerage partner until you transferred your account to a new broker or chose to liquidate your account to receive a check."
