Understanding SIPC protection is an important part of being an informed investor.

SIPC has updated its “How SIPC Protects You” brochure, providing a clear overview of SIPC protection and what happens when a SIPC-member brokerage firm fails financially.

The updated brochure is available at the link below, along with a Spanish version. Please feel free to share these resources with investors who may find them helpful.

These replace the prior versions on SIPC's website allowing all existing hyperlinks to remain operational.

Printed versions are being made available to SIPC member firms for distribution to their customers.

What is SIPC? The Securities Investor Protection Corporation is a non-profit membership corporation created by Congress to protect investors and promote confidence in the U.S. securities markets. SIPC steps in if a member securities brokerage fails financially and protects its customers up to legal limits in case any of their cash or securities are missing. We here at SIPC are proud to fulfill this important investor protection mission.
