Secure Transfer. This process of transferring your assets from one brokerage to another is called an ACAT and is the industry standard for transferring assets. Think of it as a wire for stocks.

Seamless And Fast. Submit a request to transfer in less than a minute. Most transfers are completed within a few days (but can take up to 7-10 business days to fully complete). Make sure you are inputting all information correctly (name, account numbers, etc.) so the transfer can happen smoothly.

Transfer From a Variety of Brokerages. You can transfer your assets from 14 different brokerages. Don’t worry, if we don’t support your brokerage via our Precise Transfer flow, you can still transfer to Public. Reach out to customer support for details!

Before investing in an ETF, investors should consider the investment objectives, risks and charges, and expenses of the ETF before investing. Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be read carefully before investing. Customers should obtain and review prospectuses from issuers and/or their third party agents who distribute and make prospectuses available for review.
