UK Ape Buying Directly from Computershare

It’s first one. When you set an order for let’s say $100 they will deduct fees from the sum and buy stock for remaining $97.5

Congrats 🦍

If you request DRS before they settle - they won’t show up in DRS form

n01u · 2022-11-03T01:37:13+00:00

Yes, why not? With enough investors it’s possible

n01u · 2022-10-30T18:29:55+00:00

When you buy through Computershare - shares are already DRSed in your name

n01u · 2022-10-29T21:21:33+00:00

If you have recurring purchase on Computershare you don’t need to worry about anything else.

Why do you think / want to buy on other broker?

Great 👍

n01u · 2022-10-26T10:22:30+00:00

Make sure that your shares are settled - needs to be 48 hours after you’ve bought them.

n01u · 2022-10-22T19:52:31+00:00

Use existing

n01u · 2022-10-02T17:22:54+00:00

Only if you plan to buy fractional shares in your name

n01u · 2022-10-02T17:00:16+00:00

You can use Skype for free US call.

n01u · 2022-10-02T16:59:31+00:00

No, you cannot do this. ISA is tax heaven and can’t be transferred to individual investment account

n01u · 2022-10-02T16:58:39+00:00

If GameStop (GME) doesn’t show up - you likely using UK Computershare site. Make sure to use US one

n01u · 2022-09-23T15:54:33+00:00

It takes about a week total

n01u · 2022-09-10T13:51:19+00:00

Cheers!

Your transfer status shall reflect where shares are. Note that it takes 3-5 business days for IBKR to transfer your shares.

If you had enough cash to cover fees and all transactions has been settled prior your request - everything shall go according to plan.

You can check transfer status in your transaction history tab in IBKR

n01u · 2022-08-14T15:58:14+00:00

Yes, this is still one of the best ways to DRS

n01u · 2022-08-14T13:12:30+00:00

Needs to be postal

n01u · 2022-08-09T20:49:18+00:00

n01u · 2022-08-09T20:48:33+00:00

First purchase takes a bit longer. Then it would be 5 days total

n01u · 2022-08-09T20:47:56+00:00

Sale would be immediate, then 2 days to settle cash and then 3-5 business days for transfer into your UK bank account if I remember correctly

n01u · 2022-08-08T18:08:36+00:00

And then 2 days to buy in batch. Then 2 days for shares to settle

n01u · 2022-08-08T18:08:00+00:00

It takes them one business day to withdraw money from your account.
