Be aware that your performance calculations on the Portfolio page
will start anew. Also check the basis data to make sure it meets
your needs.

Turns out there is a better way. I've recorded it to make it easier
for those who may have a similar issue in the future.

1. Back up your data!

2. If it's not already set up, set up an investment account with the
new brokerage. If you are transferring to an existing brokerage
account that is already being tracked in Money, skip to step 3.

3. Enter the investment account that you are transferring to another
brokerage. Make sure all of your positions are up to date, and any
dividends, fees, or any other account activity is up to date.

3. In the left column, click on Account Summary

4. Under "Common Tasks" select: More account tasks > Record a special
activity > Transfer an account

5. You will be prompted to select the brokerage account where you
transferring the equities/funds and to enter the effective date of the
transfer. Enter the information and select Next.

6. A Transfer Summary dialog box will display showing the equities/
positions being transferred. If the information is correct, press
Next.

7. A dialog box prompting you to close the old account will appear.
Select YES and click Finish.

You will now be returned to the account summary page for the account
you just closed. Return to the Account List page. The old account
should no longer appear (depending on whether or not you have closed
accounts set to display in your preferences), and the positions will
be reflected in the new account.

I would prefer to disable online access to the old broker.
Delete/Void any downloaded transfer-outs. Rename the account, and
put in the new broker and account number. Add a comment regarding
the event.

Set up the new account for online access. Delete/Void any downloaded
transfer-ins. Keep the charge.

Check back with your old broker's website periodically to get any
dividends that get paid later. Enter them by hand.

You might want to keep a copy of your file pre-change under a
different name. Download transactions into it for collection of
data.

Hello,

I recently transferred equities from one brokerage to another. Does
any one have any recommendations as to best reflect the transfer?
There were some associated fees with the transfer, so those will need
to be captured as well. Any thoughts or suggestions would be
appreciated.
