Stock Transfers via Depository Trust Company
To transfer securities to the university electronically via the Depository Trust Company (DTC), provide the DTC transfer instructions to your broker. The securities will be transferred directly into the university’s gift account at its custodian bank. In order for the university to properly credit the gift, it is important that you or your broker notify Gift Administration and Business Data of the gift and its intended purpose, and that the broker reference your name in the DTC transfer instructions as follows:
The Northern Trust Company/Chicago
DTC: #2669
Agent bank: #20290
For further credit to: The University of Chicago
Account number: 26-80803
Donor’s name, address, name of security, number of shares, fund name/purpose
How an electronic transfer of stock works:
- Your broker sends your gift instructions to Northern Trust via the Depository Trust Company (DTC).
- Northern Trust notifies the University of Chicago’s Office of Investments that your gift of securities has been received.
- The Office of Investments sells the securities through the university’s brokerage account at Morgan Stanley.
- The Office of Investments sends Northern Trust an instruction letter directing the bank to deliver the shares sold to Morgan Stanley on the settlement date.
- The University of Chicago receives the proceeds from the sale from Morgan Stanley on the settlement date.
