Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
I have followed all the instructions and I CANNOT find the stupid transitions tab for the new conversion. It is not under the balances and holdings tab anywhere or any place on my account pages. Please help. This is so frustrating I'm about to move everything to Fidelity! Thanks in advance for the help.

Transition or Transaction?

You could ask fidelity to move it, you wouldn’t have to fuss with any tabs.invhelpme wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 9:06 pm I have followed all the instructions and I CANNOT find the stupid transitions tab for the new conversion.

I found it under the accounts page, then click an account, there it is for each account. I converted to Brokerage and then converted to ETFs.

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Tried that. All my in formation is there. I clicked on all the accounts and still no brown transitions tab to be found anywhere. So frustrating. I ever disabled popup blockers as someone mentioned that on a different website but that didn't work either. Followed all of Vanguards instructions and still not see it.

This means Vanguard wants to keep you as a client!
Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Yeah surely other people must be having this problem. I've Googled it and emailed Vanguard and got the same answer as before, that the tab is under the balances and holdings portion under account overview. It isn't under mine. I have tried other browsers and that doesn't work either. Maybe just forget about it?
Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
This.
I have no idea whether the OP is trying to find transactions (which I have) or transitions (which I do not have).

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Any possibility you're already on the new format and don't realize it? You will likely get better help faster if you calmly explain the situation and your need in greater detail.
Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
When we log on to my wife's "old platform" account, the browser's address bar shows https://personal.vanguard.com/us/MyHome
and the page shows the menu bar at the top, below that is a "Welcome back, <name>", and below that is the message "Take action to transition your account" and a button "Transition now".
Another thing to try is go to My Accounts > Balances and holdings. In each account section, I see an icon that looks like a folder followed by "Upgrade" which is a link to start the transition process.
A third way is to browse to https://personal.vanguard.com/us/faces/triage. Use the option "Upgrade from a mutual fund account to a brokerage account".

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
My guess is that the transition has already started so there is nothing to click on anymore.

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
The transition had not started retiredjg. It's still the old platform. Sycamore thanks for the advice but already tried that. No transitions tab there either. Vanguard finally got back to me. The only way I can find the tab is to type in "transition" in the search bar and it will take me to the site I need to do it. Thanks for the responses. If anyone else can't find the tab this is what you need to do.
Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
More hoops that a client, or should I say a show dog, has to jump through to transition. Sorry, I'm waiting until Vanguard gets their act together - simplicity.invhelpme wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:24 pm The transition had not started retiredjg. It's still the old platform.

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Wow! I converted my account three years ago and my wife's two years ago and no issues. I'm not sure what's going on with VG's technology nowadays. I had to call them when I was trying to tax loss harvest multiple lots because there were no lots to pick using a Mac.

Hard to say if this is a Vanguard problem or an investor’s browser/computer/ISP problem.Eagle33 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:35 pmMore hoops that a client, or should I say a show dog, has to jump through to transition.

Seriously? I had no problem tax loss harvesting last March. All the lots were there for me to pick using my Mac.Hiker-Biker wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:05 pm Wow!

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Yes. I never had an issue before. This may have been a good time to be Flagship status since the VG rep manually entered the lots I wanted to sell. Fortunately, I don't reinvest dividends anymore in the taxable account.UpperNwGuy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:24 pmSeriously? I had no problem tax loss harvesting last March.

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Wow, this is why BH site is so good. I had emailed Flagship support and got back that I should call to talk me through the 2 ways to get into the transitions. There is the pestering daily reminder but couldn’t do what I wanted there (cherry pick and covert each one). This method above does seem to allow selection one account at a time.invhelpme wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:24 pm The transition had not started retiredjg. It's still the old platform.

Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Now that I have found a way to transition the account I have to pull the trigger and do it. Is it an easy process? If i screw something up it is very difficult to call Vangaurd anymore because of customer no service to get the help to straighten out the mess I made. Always something.
Re: Please help find Vanguard Transition Tab!!
Was very smooth for me in 2014 and suspect it is even smoother now.

A relative just did it and it was quick and painless for them.
