Excess Account Protection
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC®) provides account protection up to $500,000 in value, including $250,000 in cash awaiting reinvestment. SIPC provides protection for brokerage firms against losses should a SIPC member firm fail financially and become unable to meet obligations of its securities clients. More information about the protection of account assets through SIPC is available at www.sipc.org. Delray Financial Group LLC clients are covered through Kovack Securities, Inc. and Pershing, LLC which are SIPC member firms.
In addition to SIPC protection, Pershing, LLC provides coverage in excess of SIPC from Lloyd’s of London in conjunction with other insurers.
The excess of SIPC coverage provides the following protection for assets held in custody by Pershing, LLC, and its London-based affiliate, Pershing Securities Limited:
An aggregate loss limit of $1 billion for eligible securities—over all client accounts. A per-client loss limit of $1.9 million for cash awaiting reinvestment—within the aggregate loss limit of $1 billion
Neither SIPC nor excess of SIPC coverage protects against loss due to market fluctuation of investments.
