If your account is taxable, any gains on these sales will be taxed.
Yes, TJP offers a fully electronic process to transfer all or part of your account. TJP will recommend a transfer plan for each of the securities in your account and generate a list of assets to be transferred. You are welcome to edit this list by removing or adding securities (except for holdings such as penny stocks, bonds, options, and certain other instruments, which cannot be transferred to TJP).
To withdraw some of the funds in your account, log in to The Jerusalem Portfolio website.
Once on account dashboard, select Transfer Funds at the bottom of the page. We will send the funds to you via bank transfer (ACH).
To withdraw all the funds in your account, log in to your account, and select Transfer Funds at the bottom of the page. You will receive your funds via bank transfer (ACH). We will close your account within thirty (30) days after the withdrawal is complete, as we do not maintain accounts with a zero balance.
The timing of a withdrawal depends on several factors, including what time of day the withdrawal request is made and the institution receiving your funds, but most withdrawals take 5 - 6 business days before the requested funds will be in your bank account.
When you request a withdrawal from your taxable TJP account, we will send you an email within 1 business day to verify that the request is valid. Once you verify your withdrawal request, we will place the trades to raise the required cash in your account. All trades then take 2 business days to settle (This applies to all brokerage firms, not just Tradier Brokerage). Upon trade settlement, we will then return your funds via the electronic ACH link to your bank account, which usually takes another 1-2 business days, but can take an additional 1 – 2 days longer depending on where the funds are being sent.
Please note that if you request a withdrawal into a bank account which is different than the account that originally deposited the funds into TJP, that for your security, we may ask you for additional information before returning your funds.
