I can only surmise that you need to find a better customer service contact at TDA. In fact I made the change after learning about this relatively new option here. Then of course I can't explain why you weren't offered a sweep into PTTXX, since I'm one of several posters to this thread that apparently made this change successfully in January. How long ago did you ask? I do know this is a relatively new option, and that all TDA CS agents may not yet know the details. Each account was considered in isolation in determining whether I met the threshold. Only options were 1.1% on accounts above $1M and 0.75% on accounts above $500K. I asked customer service about having PTTXX as a sweep account, but it was not an option. PTTXX has been set up as a sweep in each of our 5 accounts. Your assumption is not consistent with my post and other's earlier in this thread.
#TD AMERITRADE CASH SWEEP VEHICLE CHOICES SOFTWARE#
Has anyone looked into the possibility of writing software that automatically sweeps unused cash into a money market mutual fund? Seems like it would be relatively easy as far as algorithmic trading goes. But if I recognize the additional risk is de minimis, and I had $1,000,000 in cash, I'd go for PVOXX and take the extra $7,200 a year.ĬIT has 2.45% with 25k balance or $100p month qualifying deposit.įrom what I gather, Federated funds are not available as sweep accounts at TD Ameritrade. If I had only $10,000 in cash savings and I was having trouble sleeping at night, then sure I'd forgo the extra $72 a year and go with CIT. CIT is currently offering 1.85% and PVOXX is offering 2.57%. Technically, yes, but practically there's not much difference in safety. Wouldn’t CIT bank high yield savings with FDIC be safer?
