Roth Ira Distribution Rules

Question: Does transferring a Roth IRA to another institution impact the five year rule for qualified distributions?

If I transfer a Roth IRA from one financial institution to another, will the five year waiting period for tax-free qualified distributions be impacted, or will it still be calculated from the date I first contributed to the IRA at the original institution?

Answer: it would be better if you let the institutions transfer the money between them so that you do not have constructive receipt of the money
