Account asset protection

Pershing remains focused on the safekeeping, servicing, segregation and reporting of assets held in their custody. 
Pershing is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC®).  As a result, securities in your account are protected up to $500,000.  For details, please see www.sipc.org.  Please note that SIPC does not protect against loss due to market fluctuation.  In addition to SIPC protection, Pershing also provides coverage in excess of SIPC limits through a private insurer, Lloyd’s of London.  The additional protection is necessary and available only in the unlikely event that assets are not fully recovered when the SIPC protection limits have been reached.  The excess insurance policy purchased through Lloyds of London provides the following excess account protection for assets held in custody by Pershing 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

The excess account protection purchased through Lloyd’s of London offers the highest level of coverage that is available in the industry today.  The excess insurance policy purchased through Lloyd’s of London does not protect against losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments.  For more information about Lloyd’s of London, visit www.lloyds.com.
