Transfer Assets

The minimum funding requirement for new accounts via account transfer is $4,000 in fully paid securities. In order to transfer cash or securities from a brokerage account held at another financial institution, such as a bank, brokerage firm or mutual fund company to your McGinn Smith account, you must complete an account transfer form. The transfer process essentially moves securities from one brokerage firm to another and generally takes approximately 2-4 weeks to complete.

Please select the appropriate form below to begin the account transfer process:

Account Transfer Form Instructions:

Complete the following three areas on the form (McGinnSmith Private Client Services will assist you in completing the form):

1. Name and address of the institution that is currently holding your account.

2. Account number of the account that you wish to transfer.

3. Signature(s) of all parties on the account.


Please note: For the DTC / Partial Account Transfer, you must also provide a description of each security that is to be transferred to your McGinn Smith account.

Your McGinnSmith account must be of the same type as the account you wish to transfer. For example, to transfer an IRA from another firm to McGinn Smith, you must have opened an IRA at McGinn Smith.

Please mail the following completed documents:

1. Completed and signed Account Form.

2. Completed and signed Account Transfer Form.

3. Copy of your latest statement from the account being transferred.

4. Copy of your driver's license.
