Securities Investor Protection Corporation

Securities Investor Protection Corporation When a brokerage firm is closed, SIPC steps in and, within certain limits, works to return your cash, stock, and other securities you had at the firm.

SIPC was created under the Securities Investor Protection Act as a non-profit membership corporation. SIPC oversees the liquidation of member broker-dealers that close when the broker-dealer is bankruptcy or in financial trouble, and customer assets are missing. In a liquidation under the Securities Investor Protection Act, SIPC and the court-appointed Trustee work to return customers' securities

and cash as quickly as possible. Within limits, SIPC expedites the return of missing customer property by protecting each customer up to $500,000 for securities and cash (including a $250,000 limit for cash only).

Spring in Washington, D.C., is always a special time, and some of our teammates recently made the most of it by visiting the beautiful cherry blossoms.

It was a great opportunity to share time together away from the office and enjoy one of the City’s most iconic seasonal sights.
