What can I invest in on Public?

On Public, you can invest in (almost) everything, including stocks, ETFs, crypto, bonds, options, Treasuries, and alternative assets like music royalties. You can also grow your cash with a 5.1% APY high-yield cash account in the same place you invest. Public’s terms and conditions apply.

I have a brokerage account somewhere else. How can I transfer my assets to Public?

Initiating a transfer is simple, and you can even receive a bonus in your account based on the amount you transfer. Transferring through ACATS from one brokerage to another allows you to move the full or whole shares in your portfolio. You won’t need to sell the stocks before transferring, which means you won’t incur a potential tax obligation.* Start the process at public.com/transfer-account. Public’s terms and conditions apply.
