    We cannot process your order because shares for this fund are only available to institutional customers.
  • TSP, I'd contact Schwab and ask them what's going on. The restriction seems only to apply to new investors so I wouldn't expect and it's not my experience with WAFMX that I'm restricted at E*Trade. I have experienced a similar problem before at E*TRADE and it turned out something had just screwed up the system setting and they fixed it right away. Without any better ideas, that's what I'd guess happened for you as well.
  • TSP, because of your post I tried the same with WAFMX at Schwab just now, going as far as the "Review Order" step, and at least at that step everything was OK for the purchase.
