You look great . If I were you I might try a different hair cut , but you look great . I wish I looked that good . <| sep |> Not only is this possible , if you call the destination brokerage i . e . Vanguard , they ' ll help you through the process . I wouldn ' t even tell your current advisor that you ' re leaving until they get the paperwork . Note that most brokerages and advisors will charge you a fee to close your account , and I ' m sure your advisor is no exception while this can be painful it ' ll 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 backend load a type of fee to sell the fund . You ' ll 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 inkind , you can still get out from under your current advisor .
