Move, Link or Partition an Account
This page lets you:
- Move your existing account,
including all cash and positions, to an Advisor- or Broker- managed
account, or
- Create a new account that will be managed by an Advisor or Broker and keep your existing account. The new Advisor- or Broker-managed account will be linked to your existing account.
- Divide your account into two partitions: one that will be managed by you and one that will be managed by an Advisor or Broker.
This page also appears when you link directly to an Advisor or Broker using the Investors' Marketplace.
