Vanguard Roth conversion restriction on individual treasuries

Post by egghead »

This year I’ve started buying individual treasuries in my Vanguard traditional IRA account.
I started going through the process of a Roth conversion and the Vanguard website showed that the individual treasuries are not eligible for a Roth conversion, unless I convert the entire traditional IRA account.
You can only convert your fixed income holdings if you are converting the entire account.
I wasn’t attempting to convert the individual treasuries, but I thought it was interesting that it’s not even possible to include them in a Vanguard Roth conversion unless I’m converting the entire account.

Is this a Vanguard peculiarity, or is this a common restriction also found at Schwab & Fidelity?
