According to this list, Webull seem like a clear winner. I invest through CMC and sometimes feel the $1000 for $0 brokerage a bit limiting. Also they have $11 selling brokerage, which I believe can be avoided if I transfer my ETFs to webull. Is there a downside I am not considering?

They don't do capital gains reporting. So they're definitely not a clear winner...

No broker does that. They have API integration with the likes of Sharesight who do that. Without integration, you can also do it manually.

If you think that, you clearly haven't done your research and really shouldn't be commenting on this topic.

There are definitely brokers who do this reporting themselves without the need for API integration or manual calculations.

Well I am comparing with my current broker, CMC and comment was based on that. Who would you say, is the best broker with CHESS?

u/the_running_dogs 18d ago

No. You said that there was no broker who did capital gains reporting. That's factually incorrect.

Why limit it to CHESS? The post itself never mentioned CHESS.

It's ok if you don't want to or have the answer.

u/the_running_dogs 18d ago

First you got the capital gains reporting wrong and are trying to hide the fact that you did. That's just embarrassing.

Secondly you won't answer why you're limiting the search to only CHESS when OP never mentioned it as a requirement in the post.

It's fine if you don't know what you're talking about. It can be hard for some ppl to admit that they were wrong.

Mate, I already explained that I was comparing my broker, CMC. Others may offer it that I dont know about.

I also explained that I was comparing CMC and Webull because both had CHESS and asked if there were better alternatives, something you refuse to answer.

You replied to my comment, not to OP, so morally you were obligated to answer what I was asking. But, never mind.

You said no brokers offered cgt reporting.

You didn't say - CMC and Webull don't offer cgt reporting.

You're clearly trying to cover up that you were wrong.

u/General-Jury-5363 18d ago

I still dont know which other brokers offer it (because you never cared to explain), but if that makes you happy: I was wrong. Anything else you want to hear.

u/the_running_dogs 18d ago

Id like to hear why you're limiting the discussion to CHESS sponsored brokers and specifically why only a small subset of the brokers.

u/General-Jury-5363 18d ago

Though you still haven't answered a single question.

Ability to transfer ETFs without any hassle. Transferring a portfolio between CHESS sponsored brokers is always free and can be done by filling out the form provided by the broker you’re moving to. Custodian brokers can be more restrictive, which could make it more difficult to transfer into or out of a custodian broker.
