Asset Protection

All accounts held by our clearing firm Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing are protected through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and customers are afforded the benefits under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. SIPC provides protection up to a $500,000 limit, of which $100,000 may be for cash balances.

In addition our clearing firm has arranged supplemental account protection through Customer Asset Protection Company (CAPCO), a licensed Vermont insurer which provides “Excess SIPC” protection of Full Net Equity of Securities and Cash, with no limitation on aggregate firm or per customer coverage. The additional securities and cash protection is of the same type and nature as provided by SIPC, but at a higher limit.
