Transferring your registered account into Neo Invest™ is a good opportunity to access professionally managed portfolios that are customized to your unique goals, timelines, and risk comfort.
The biggest advantage to transferring your registered account is that it allows you to move funds to Neo Invest™ without using up your current contribution room.
If you’re interested in transferring a non-registered account, you can easily and quickly set it up as a regular investment contribution.

You need to sign up for Neo Invest™—powered by OneVest to transfer your TFSA or RRSP to us.
Choose what type of transfer you’d like
Full transfer
We’ll send instructions to your relinquishing institution to liquidate and/or sell all the assets in your account if you haven’t done so already, and transfer the remainder to your Neo Invest™ account.
Depending on the situation, your relinquishing institution may also process an account closure (and associated fees) as part of this transfer.
Partial transfer
We’ll send instructions to your relinquishing institution to transfer cash up to the amount you specified. If the amount of cash available is less than what you’ve estimated, the relinquishing institution may sell assets in the account to make up the difference.
Most institutions charge a transfer fee, which can vary. Please contact your other institution for further information.

OneVest currently only supports in-cash transfers:

Watch out for transfer fees from your other financial institution:
- Your financial institution may charge you fees for partially or fully transferring out your account.
-
Make sure you have the requested amount of cash available in your account:
- If the amount of cash available is less than what you've estimated, the relinquishing institution may sell assets in the account to make up the difference.
- If you anticipate the estimated amount to be more than your available cash, we recommend you fulfill any such sell orders yourself first to make sure you can control which assets are sold.
-
Make sure the account you're transferring from matches your Neo Invest™ account:
- You want to make sure that the account you have with your other financial institution is the same type of account you have with Neo Invest™. For example, if you're transferring a TFSA, make sure you have a TFSA open in your Neo Invest™ account.
