2. Confirm that your investments are ready to be sold by reviewing the following information:

  • If your market value is $0, there are no funds currently invested.

  • If you have a 'Service Level' of 'AutoPilot' and want to sell funds, but continue receiving advice, you will need to switch to the 'Service Level' of GPS.

  • If you intend to sell all shares but have a 'Service Level' of AutoPilot, you need to switch to GPS or cancel Advisor™ before continuing this process.

3. Click the Investment Desktop button.

4. Select the Trade tab.
