New Year, New Moves! 
Weâre excited to announce that in early 2024, weâre launching Portfolio transfers - one of our most requested features! Youâll be able to seamlessly move shares from your old broker to Trading 212! We will also support outgoing transfers.
And because your financial freedom shouldnât come with fees, Portfolio transfers will be free!
Well done 212. Features coming thick and fast now!
Just pies within pies and weâll all be happy!
(Donât listen to the folks below 
, pies within pies should be nextâŚ)
Great news! 
I think quite a lot of users will be happy with this
Excellent news. Looking forward to it!
Thank you, not sure why robinhood is launching in the ukâŚthey have no chance against you guys
Will partial transfers be allowed, or just full account transfers?
Another question, how will fractional shares be treated? Will they be left behind, liquidated, or transfered as well?
Competition is always good. 
Great job Team! 
Good news. How about transfers between UK spouses who both have Trading 212 Invest accounts? This is allowed by HMRC as a capital gains tax-free transfer. Nothing is sold.
Interactive Investor, for example, can do this in a couple days simply by receiving a instruction via their website from the donor spouse. (They require the spouses to have the same residential address.) For instance, I can simply instruct âTransfer 100 shares MSFT to account⌠[my spouses account]â
It is easy to implement since it is just a change to their records about beneficial ownership, without involving a third party. The donor ticks a box to accept responsibility for all tax consquences. Of course the capital gains tax basis is transferred unchanged.
I find this very useful for tax planning. Better that some dividends be taxed at 8.25% in my spouseâs account than at 39.35% in mine. There can be other benefits with regard to capital gains tax planning and harvesting of gains and losses.
I appreciate that this is only a UK thing and that as Trading 212 is international it may not wish to implement features that are country-specific. However, it is a significant reason why I keep holdings on a different platform.
In connection with portfolio transfers, it would be nice to offer the option for customers to edit their cost basis or average price*.
If I transfer in MSFT shares I would like to show my true cost basis. Also, if I hold MSFT on Trading 212 and also on some other platform simultaneously then I would like to be able to edit-in my cost basis per share, averaged over all platforms on which I have bought MSFT.
*This option already exists on competing platforms.
100% agree with this. When I transferred and had to re-buy within T212 it resulted in the averages bearing no resemblence to the actuals. I was incredulous when T212 told me it was not possible to change it and that I am still reliant on a separate Excel spread sheet!
You will be able to choose your cost basis upon submitting the transfer 
Weâll share additional information on these questions as the feature gets closer to being rolled outđ§
Fair enough, thanks.
Appreciate âearly 2024â has been communicated so you donât have to commit to a particular launch dateâŚIs the expectation that itâll be ready before the end of the current tax year? Are you able to say yet, or still too early to say?
Hi @KrisG will there also be an option to transfer any available cash balance from the existing account to trading 212 during the in-species transfer process?
Ok, but what about after transfer of cash and repurchase? My problem is that I had to sell my assets, transfer cash and re-buy. The averages showing in T212 bear absolutely no resemblance to what the averages of my purchases actually was.
They do if you sold and rebought. You have adjust your realised gain and unrealised as you realised a gain (or loss).
This would not be true under UK tax rules, since shares sold on date X and repurchased on day Y, within 30 days of X, take as their basis cost for capital gains (or loss) for the sale on X the repurchase cost on the subsequent Y.
Once repurchased the shares retain the original cost basis they had before day X. This is helpful to those who wish to move shares between platforms by sale and repurchase without incurring a substantial taxable capital gain.
Iâve often done this with X and Y being the same day and time. It causes me to book a small capital loss equal to the bid offer spread.
