Already Hold Funds Direct? Our Advisors may be able to help you manage these funds at no additional cost! ↓
Take Advantage of an Experienced Financial Pro at No Additional Cost!
Your PT advisor may be able to help manage your mutual fund investments, without moving them and for no additional fee!
If you currently hold funds directly with an investment company, you may be able to add your experienced Place Trade Financial Advisor as your “Broker of Record” (which will allow your advisor to assist you with managing your account for no additional fee - even if you are only planning to trade online in your PT brokerage account). Get a free portfolio review – Call your advisor today to request a review.
Please note:
You do not need to move your assets. Your funds can remain in place at the investment company.
Adding an experienced PT advisor will not change any rules or fees set by your fund’s prospectus which will continue to apply.
There is no additional fee to add us or for us to manage your current investments, your investments will still be held fund direct (unless you request otherwise), and your fund’s prospectus will continue to apply (as long as you own them).
Changes to investment holdings or firms may result in additional fees as set forth by the specific prospectuses and/or firms involved.
Adding an experienced advisor is a super simple two step process on your part:
1. Let us (or your mutual fund investment company - either way is fine) know that you want to add us as your advisor. We will email a Broker of Record Change Form to you.
2. Return your signed Broker of Record Change Form to us (or directly to your mutual fund investment company) in order to complete the process.
It is really that simple!
We are happy to help you with any questions or concerns if you should need us! Please call us at 919-719-7200 today for more information.

*Full-service commissions apply for services and transactions associated with working with a full-service advisor. Online trading commissions will apply to all unrelated online trading transactions.
Full-service advisors are available to US residents only and only in states where individual advisors are authorized to provide advice. Please see the list of states where we are currently authorized to provide advice and open online trading accounts on our Open an Account page.
** Account types must be similar: For example, you must combine the same types of accounts and cannot combine different types of accounts (e.g., a regular trading account and an IRA account cannot be combined together without meeting special requirements, taking additional steps and dealing with potential tax consequences). Fund direct assets may be transferred to a matching brokerage account type via a Trustee to Trustee transfer. Brokerage account assets including, cash or mutual funds may be transferred to a Fund Direct account via a Trustee to Trustee transfer, however, the mutual funds that are being transferred must be offered by the investment (mutual fund) company where you are moving the funds.
