In my Roth IRA at Vanguard, what's the easiest way to consolidate VXUS (50K) and VFIAX (70K) into VT while not missing time in the market? I'm hoping to simplify to VT and then transfer \~100K of VT to my Merrill Edge Roth IRA in order to take advantage of their Preferred Rewards program. Here's what I'm thinking, but if there's an easier way from anyone's experience I'd love your thoughts:
1. Sell VXUS for VT during market hours
2. Sell VFIAX for VTWAX
3. Exchange VTWAX for VT
Bonus question – how does one do ACATs from Vanguard to Merrill without missing time in the market, and for a portion but not all of my VT holding? Any tips/steps? Thanks!
