The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a nonprofit membership organization created under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. SIPC protects customers of SIPC-member broker-dealers in the event that the firm fails financially.
SIPC protection is not insurance against market losses. It specifically protects customers against the loss of cash and securities held at a failed SIPC-member brokerage firm — not against declines in the market value of investments.
SIPC provides the following coverage for customers of member firms:
Total Coverage
Up to $500,000 per customer account for securities and cash combined.
Cash Sublimit
Up to $250,000 for cash claims within the total $500,000 limit.
Eligible Assets
Stocks, bonds, notes, warrants, and other securities. SIPC does not protect commodity futures contracts, currency, or fixed annuities.
Account Types
Each separate account type — individual, IRA, joint — may qualify for its own $500,000 protection limit.
SIPC protection has important limitations. The following are not covered:
If a SIPC-member broker-dealer fails, SIPC typically applies to a federal court to appoint a trustee to handle the firm's liquidation. The trustee will notify customers and provide claim forms. Most customers receive their assets within one to three months.
