Moving funds to cash
-
No, it’s not a “Panic! Sell!” question
A few life events recently have made me think about spending a bit more while I can. Given the thoughts that we might see a bit of a win in the near future, I might want to chuck a bit out to cash while things are up, then I can decide whether/when/how to call it off at my leisure. Would just like to know, if I request a move of a sum to cash, how quickly would that be done?
(Ideally before DJT gets home and finds his cheeseburger is cold and has another tariff paddy!)

Not sure if you mean actually getting cash in your bank, but you can select to move funds to money markets in you [ISA/GSA/Pension] & I thought that was actioned within the next trading day?

Yes, that’s what I meant, just moving some across to cash but within the overall portfolio, so I can then decide what to do with it at leisure. If that’s same day-ish then that’s good. Thanks Mike.

@SiriAlexaAl interesting, thanks! so overall about 10 days-ish. Do you have any indication whether you received the price at the "in progress" date or the completed date?

When a holding is sold, you would only last see the value(opening) from the previous close. If it's £10,325, you can't expect to realise that number because a sale is conducted during the next available auction(market) and FX changes. You might get more or less but you won't receive the same number.
The ££ are realised at trade time and this can be any time from 2.30 something to 3pm or later (it's up to winterflood, the biggest broker in europe give or take), it takes 3 working days with equity, 5 for any tracker as it's global(so if a portfolio holds any trackers it's 5 days). Money then moves out of the portfolio to your account with us then to your external bank. And that is a day for each step. These are all working days so add in a weekend and or miss 9am cuts-off and you should allow at least a week. Plan ahead for your needs
Your holdings with us are in your name, unlike unit trusts(Vanguard etc) where it is pooled so naturally they can process this a day or two sooner.
