ShareBuilder Account Protection
|
|
|
|
When you purchase securities through ShareBuilder Securities Corporation, they are held at
Pershing LLC (member NYSE/NASD/SIPC), a clearing broker for ShareBuilder.
We are pleased to announce that Pershing provides account protection for the net equity* of
your securities positions. Of that total, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation
(SIPC) provides $500,000 of net equity protection, including $100,000 for claims for cash
awaiting reinvestment at ShareBuilder (SIPC Protection). Pershing provides the additional
protection (Excess SIPC) on terms similar to SIPC through a commercial insurer. Visit
WWW.SIPC.ORG for more information about SIPC.
Account protection applies when a SIPC member firm fails financially and is unable to meet
obligations to securities clients. But it does not protect against losses from the rise and fall
in the market value of investments.
If you have any questions please contact Customer Care.
*Net equity is the value of the securities held for your account, plus related cash, minus
anything that may be owed.
