Some of you may remember that I was looking for advice to get out from under an FA and what to do with a bunch of iShares and DFA funds. I had pretty much decided to tell them to sell the DFA funds and was trying to figure out what I wanted them to buy instead and then start moving the accounts over elsewhere. But today after the close of business I received an email from the main company that they were going to be making changes to accounts and had a new investment to better diversify and we should expect trade notices. From the information I have been able to find out since close of business, it appears that they are buying XT shares. Does anyone know what these are?
I tried to google them and the only thing I came up with is probably something I don't want to deal with.
I sent an email to stop all trades on the accounts but it appears certain trades were made today. Can I tell them to unwind them?
Finally, does anyone have any suggestions as to what to exchange the DFA shares for? I was trying to avoid paying trading charges on the other end.
