Transfer Assets Into New ETF

Section 351 conversions let investors transfer assets into a new ETF without immediate taxes. This process, called a "351 exchange," turns appreciated assets like stocks or securities from Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) into shares of an ETF. The ETF keeps the original cost basis and holding period of the transferred assets, so taxes are deferred until the ETF shares are sold.
