Consumerism Commentary: Transferring My IRAs From TIAA-Cref to Vanguard

  • Jonathan · 2 years ago
    Ha, this is the first time I remember reading about TIAA lawyers. After reading that, I am even less likely to recommend them to others. Instead of issuing a letter like "We're sorry XXX happened, and here are the things we are doing to fix it: XXX", you get a letter to remove a logo?!? 'Cause I was really going to confuse this site with TIAA-CREF's official page :P

    I was locked out of my TIAA-CREF account for 6 months. There is an easy solution: file a formal complaint with the SEC. That got my problem solved. If you just complain to TIAA they will tell you they are "investigating" the problem, but will do nothing. It is amazing how much incompetence this company can display without consequences.

    Transfers can be a pain. Although Vanguard is excellent, and carries some of the best funds and expense ratios around. I, too, like to keep my banking as simple as possible by combining multiple accounts when necessary.

    What's the transaction fee for the transfer? Most roth IRA accounts cost you a small transfer fee when you switch. I'm considering Vanguard as well. Do you know the fee?
