We know that the safety of your clients' assets is one of your primary concerns. As a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) all Vanguard Capital client accounts are protected. The limit of SIPC protection is $500,000 for covered securities.
- Accounts of Vanguard Capital (including those held by clients of our Investment Advisor with Schwab Institutional or Pershing LLC), are insured by SIPC for securities and cash in the event of broker-dealer failure.
- SIPC provides up to $500,000 of protection for brokerage accounts held in each separate capacity (e.g., joint tenant or sole owner), with a limit of $100,000 for claims of un-invested cash balances.
- This protection applies on a per-customer basis as determined by SIPC. A customer who has several accounts with our firm in a single capacity would generally be considered a single customer for the purposes of applying these limits. A customer who maintains separate accounts in separate capacities could be deemed a different customer in each capacity.
- While neither SIPC nor excess SIPC covers losses in the market value of securities due to market fluctuations, you can be confident that Vanguard Capital is focused on giving you peace of mind about the safety of your investments.
