Gifting your Shares

Gifting shares is a change in ownership to give away control and transfer mutual fund shares directly to an individual, corporation, charity, not-for profit, church, or other entities. The entity that is being gifted those shares must be aware of the gift and complete a new account application if they do not have an account. All current owners of the account must obtain Medallion Signature Guarantee Stamps.

· Account owners gifting their shares are losing control of the account, which requires them to obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee Stamp
