Swap Investment
NEVER SETTLE

Unhappy with an Investment?
Swap it.*

Trade stock you own for stock you'd like in a single tap. Simply select the stocks, swap, and that's it! It's that easy, and only IMPACT has it.



1. Select a Stock You Own

You might choose to get rid of a stock because it conflicts with your values. Begin by selecting that stock from your portfolio.


2. Select the Stock You Want

Next, choose the stock you'd like to swap it for, whether because it better aligns with your values or indicates promising returns.


3. Swap Them

With a tap, you'll sell the stock you owned and buy the equivalent amount of the stock you want.


*Swap functionality is only available for US exchange-listed stocks and ETFs held in the accounts of Interactive Brokers clients who use the IMPACT App.
