How the process works

From Brokerage Account to ETF Shares

Securities move in kind to the fund’s custodian. ETF shares return to the same brokerage accounts.
Advisor portfolios at the brokerage are tested on ExchangiFi, which coordinates with the fund sponsor. Securities move in kind from the brokerage to the fund custodian, and ETF shares return to the same brokerage accounts. The sponsor manages the fund at the custodian. Authorized participants handle creations and redemptions. Investors trade on the listing exchange after launch.

Solid arrows move securities or ETF shares. Dashed lines show coordination, oversight or trading. Typical flow shown. Steps vary by fund and custodian. Logos are examples only and imply no affiliation.

What you can do on ExchangiFi

One Platform, Three Capabilities

Advisors find 351 ETF launches, both sides test portfolios against the Section 351 rules, and sponsors run the launch. Use the part that belongs to your role.
For advisors

Use the dashboard to find and evaluate Section 351 exchange ETF opportunities

Every open fund in one marketplace, with issuer, strategy tags, expense ratio, contribution deadline, and launch date on each listing.

For advisors and issuers

Use the optimization software to check portfolios at the account level and in aggregate

The software runs the 25/50 diversification test and screens each holding for intraday liquidity, one client account at a time and across every contribution in a syndicated launch, then reports the positions to adjust before submission.

Real Portfolios, Converted Through ExchangiFi

Five situations advisors bring to ExchangiFi, where a taxable sale is the obstacle and a Section 351 in-kind contribution, run on the platform, is the solution.
01

New Client Onboarding

A new client’s holdings already fit a strategy you recommend on its merits. An in-kind exchange may be a simpler path than selling.

02

Same Strategy, New Wrapper

Clients in an SMA may be able to contribute their holdings to the ETF version of the same strategy. They hold one liquid position that trades intraday.

03

Direct Index Accounts & High Fee SMAs

A direct index account that still tracks its index may be able to contribute to an ETF that tracks the same index and intends to keep the holdings.

04

Seeding In Kind, Not Cash

Your client already wants a new ETF’s strategy. Holdings that fit it may be contributed in kind instead of being sold for cash.

05

Estate and Generational Planning

Fragmented family holdings unified into one fund so beneficiaries inherit a single diversified position with carryover basis.

The Ecosystem Behind Every ExchangiFi Launch

A Section 351 launch takes a sponsor, a trust, an administrator, a custodian, counsel, and a distribution partner working in sequence. ExchangiFi is connected across that chain, so an advisor is never assembling it alone.
