Transferring from one brokerage to another
Trying to help a family member transfer from present TDDI brokerage to another brokerage account.
Been reading many posts detailing delays and other issues.
I have suggested they transfer to one of the brokerages I use but do not have experience transferring to them as just simply opened accounts.
For lack of better wording this person can be be demanding and nit picky so looking for best of the worst when it comes to transfers.
Features wanted in transfer process
* Online only account opening
* Transfer online without any paperwork [Qtrade seems to suggest they offer this after opening account (e transfer accounts) but really have no experience/knowledge of this]
* If need to send in account opening forms and/or transfer forms then preferably thru secure upload and not snail mail or regular email
* Quick transfers to/from linked bank accounts [think this tends to lean towards bank brokerages?]
* Secure chat or messaging would be nice to have
* No account admin fees [minimum account value conditions ok]
* Reimburse transfer fees for every account and not just one reimbursement for all of transfers
* Average commission schedule [not many transactions as more hold and buy so don't mind up $10 buy/sell commissions]
* Average customer service [seems good customer service is lacking these days]
[/list]
Think will suggest that stick with the following brokerages:
RBC
CIBC
Questrade
Qtrade
BMO
IB, iTrade, HSBC are not to be considered.
Appreciate any suggestions or comments/feedback on how bad or well your transfers went.
Thanks!!
