i ordered a sale of a 2 x etf portfolio on feb 8th and inside the transactions tab is was ‘awaiting settlement’ on monday feb 10th, all going well. on feb 11th it was settled with a green tick at 3.11pm but i am still waiting for the cash to appear in the cash section of my GIA account which is now at 1 week. is there a delay? when will it be able to withdraw? ---

@mark66 cash doesn’t move to the Cash Section of the Account after a sale, it sits in the Portfolio. You should see it in the Portfolio Balance area showing as a Cash value. You can move it to the Cash Section, see the Help linked below :- [Switching to and from Cash](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/5002949320349-Can-I-transfer-funds-between-my-portfolios) You don’t need to move it in order to withdraw it though - see this link :- [Withdraw Cash](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4910000527517-How-do-I-withdraw-money-from-my-portfolio) ---

thanks for your help. cash now moved from portfolio to cash and withdrawn. my first time selling on here and i assumed cash would go to ‘general cash’ as portfolio sold. i will reinvest again in 31 days. ---

Sounds like you haven’t understood the account. You sold 2 ETFs _within_ a portfolio. When the cash arrives it is still within that portfolio. If you want to move it to your cash portfolio you can do that yourself once the cash has settled. ---

yes you are right. the 2 x etf’s was the portfolio and has now been moved and is in withdrawal phase. fast, clear, easy and efficient to do overall. ---
