No, this makes the 4th....over about 25 - 30 years.

So, supposedly 123M was transferred to Vision for distribution to Futures Accounts claims last week. Did anyone get anything in the mail from Vision?

I have not, yet. I've gotten numerous e-mails from my IB saying the money is at Vision, though.

Is Vision handing out all the accounts to its IB's, or is it keeping some? I haven't found any press on this. @mattz might know (an IB of VFM).

I would assume that due to the large # of account transfers some IBs help in the transition of accounts.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

No need to call them. Here's what you need to do if you do not want to keep an account at Vision.

They do handle handing out the funds. One has the option to stay with them, transfer to another account, or get the cash back.

Cheers.

BTW, yesterday I received a mail letter from them with a new statement, only 30% of my account with PFG. Now I have to fill out a form for one of the three options and attach a copy of the this last statement for Vision to take action.
