Cannot transfer ISA shares to other country broker?


martinc1

Question

Hi,

 

I have shares in both IG ISA and Share Dealing accounts, I  have moved outside UK and want to transfer shares to broker there.

Whilst Share Dealing transfer was successful, transfer from ISA is stuck.  Is it not possible to move shares from ISA to  another account?

Hi @martinc1

Thanks for the question

If you are moving shares externally we can only facilitate an ISA to ISA transfer. You should be able to do an internal transfer from the ISA to the share dealing account. Then once that is completed you can transfer the shares abroad through the share dealing account. Please contact transfers@ig.com to arrange this. 

All the best

Hi @AndaIG

Thank you for your response. I've contacted transfers@ig.com, and they refused internal transfer, this is their reply:

"You cannot transfer your shares from ISA to Share dealing, you'll only have to sell your shares and have to close sooner or later and there is no other choice because ISA is available only for UK residents and share dealing is only available for AU and UK residents"

 

If I'm moving shares externally I need to be registered at both sides at least for a while. And there is no explanation on why I cannot move  shares from ISA to Share dealing,

 

Can you please advise what to do?

 

Thanks

Martin

I know you probably want to tidy things up, and maybe it's easier for your administration (and keep costs down)  but are you aware that you are allowed to keep anything in an ISA which was funded whilst you were a UK resident? 

If you do want to move them to another broker outside an ISA I don't think you have any choice but to sell the holdings which is a pain because obviously if you want to still hold them you will have the sell and buy costs to consider, and potential market movements as well

    • Investing in crypto could be challenging especially the Fear of Missing out Lambo. This mostly affect traders trading strategy and ideology. Predicting the right time to buy is always cumbersome and that is why many analyst advise DCA because it curtails FOMO and gives you a long-term crypto trading mentality. In crypto Dollar Cost Averaging involves investing the same amount of money in a target token at regular intervals over a certain period of time, regardless of price. This will help to control volatility on your portfolios and minimize FOMO For example when you decide to invest $100 on a token and invest $10 daily or weekly or monthly till you fulfilled you $100 target investment on the token irrespective of the price of the token. This strategy helps a crypto trader to build his portfolio over the long term thereby he/she is not bothered by short-term volatility in the broader markets. This strategy mostly favours low-budget traders in building a strong portfolio but the problem most normally encounter is exchange minimum trading amount. One analyst advised on how to mitigate this was to accumulate on exchange that has lower trading fees and later send to where you desire to hold. He also noted that some of this exchanges are good in listing good projects for you to be among the early birds. Do you think DCA is the best method to accumulate token and which exchange offers the lowest tradeable balance and trading fees?
