Webull has launched mutual funds for IRA accounts in the United States, rolling out the feature in beta to select customers before broader availability. The online brokerage is giving eligible IRA holders access to professionally managed funds, including no-load options without sales commissions, allowing clients to diversify retirement portfolios without leaving the platform. Head of U.S. Products Lindsay Ryan said the move helps investors consolidate holdings and focus on long-term goals. Webull plans to expand its fund selection and introduce ACAT transfer support, enabling users to move mutual fund positions from competing brokers. The launch represents Webull’s push into traditional retirement services as competition intensifies among retail platforms. Rivals including Robinhood, SoFi, and Ally Invest already offer mutual funds in tax-advantaged accounts, making this a catch-up play to retain retirement assets.
