The Dark Universe
TILLIT is a curated platform with handpicked funds, investment trusts and ETFs - we don’t offer everything in the market. If you have investment accounts elsewhere, that could make moving to TILLIT a challenge. This is why we have built the Dark Universe, which enables you to move to TILLIT and bring your holdings* with you.
*Please see ‘Eligible assets’ below for more information.

Bring your holdings with you
You may not want to be out of the market during the time of a transfer, you may be particularly fond of some holdings in your portfolio that don’t currently exist in the TILLIT Universe, or the timing might not be right to sell. Whatever the reason may be, we have built the Dark Universe so that you can move to TILLIT and bring your holdings* with you.
The in specie transfer
The ability to transfer an existing investment account with holdings to TILLIT without having to sell them down to cash is called an ‘in specie’ transfer. You can bring any eligible* holdings with you and you stay invested throughout the transfer process.
*Please see ‘Eligible assets’ below for more information.
