SIPC provides coverage up to $500,000, of which a maximum of $250,000 applies to cash credit balances.
In addition to the SIPC coverage, we have purchased from Lloyd’s of London an excess SIPC bond that provides additional coverage for up to $25,000,000 in cash and securities for each client, subject to an aggregate loss limit of $100,000,000. This bond covers cash credit balances to a maximum of $900,000 for a total of $1,150,000 in cash balances.
*This coverage will replace clients’ cash and/or securities that are otherwise unrecoverable. The coverage does not safeguard against a decline or loss in market value of the securities in your account.
