I exchanged my VG Convertible Securities Fund into another fund on the old platform earlier this year. Never had a problem. Maybe it was existing mon…
I still have not transitioned my VG accounts. I'll wait and see their next move, but I don't see how they can force someone to take a brokerage account when they do not want or need one.

I was thinking the same thing with overlap, but I am just reporting the obvious for the benefit of other posters/readers. You would be surprised how many people are unaware of changes or do not read the supplements provided by mutual fund co…
