Re: [GNC] Transferring mutual funds

Yes it is a total transfer as if I had a basket of widgets in my kitchen, picked it up and placed it in my neighbor's kitchen. The widgets didn't change, only the storage location. I'm able to log into the new broker's website and see the entire history of each fund since I first purchased
