SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation)
Categories: Econ, Mutual Funds, Trusts and Estates
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
This non-profit offers insurance for accounts, and broker-dealers who register with the SEC have to be part of SIPC. If your broker goes bankrupt, SIPC makes sure your investments come back to you. If some assets are missing, SIPC will replace them—up to certain limits.
