payable in the United States.
Securities
Investor Protection Corporation
: What is SIPC? How Can We
Help You? To learn more about what the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation does—and does not do. The statute that created SIPC provides that customers of a failed
brokerage firm receive all non-negotiable securities that are already
registered in their names or in the process of being registered. All
other so-called "street name" securities are distributed on a
pro rata basis. At the same time, funds from the SIPC reserve are
available to satisfy the remaining claims of each customer up to a
maximum of $500,000. This figure includes a maximum of $100,000 on
claims for cash. Recovered funds are used to pay investors whose claims
exceed SIPC's protection limit of $500,000. SIPC often draws down its
reserve to aid investors.
