If I am investing for a "trousseau" for a child through a brokerage account, which method of transferring funds to an adult child will be more favorable: donating securities and transferring them to their brokerage account, or selling assets and then donating cash via a gift?

"I invest with profit through a brokerage account until the child reaches 21 years old, and then I have to decide how to transfer the accumulated capital to the adult child."
