<prompt> Human: Im asking because I currently have a Roth IRA managed by a financial advisor through TradePMR and I like the funds I have my money in. I dont like having to pay fees to keep my money there though. So what I want to know is if it is possible to transfer my TradePMR account into one I manage myself i.e.Vanguard.  <response>: Not only is this possible, if you call the destination brokerage i.e. Vanguard, theyll help you through the process. I wouldnt even tell your current advisor that youre leaving until they get the paperwork.Note that most brokerages and advisors will charge you a fee to close your account, and Im sure your advisor is no exception; while this can be painful itll be worth it in the long run to not pay high fees on a continuing basis. Additionally, depending on what kinds of investments your advisor has you in, you may have to pay a back-end load a type of fee to sell the fund. Youll have to determine whether waiting a number of months to sell is worth paying higher fund fees, though at the very least if Vanguard can accept the transfer in-kind, you can still get out from under your current advisor.
