Comments Is Your Money Safe If Schwab, Fidelity or Vanguard Fail | SIPC Protection

Aren’t your stock our shares filed with the SEC? How could sticks go missing? I mean now I’m seriously concerned Even with SIPC excess, Schwab has over 34m accounts If the SIPC excess coverage for Schwab is only $600m in total, most accounts are worthless Comment from : Michael North

I just came across your videos today and I am both very impressed and scared to death from the things I have learned Comment from : Michael North

What do you consider a large investor or investment? Comment from : Scott Miller

Good information Love the uptalk Comment from : AgPilot

Can u please clarify? I thought if I own a stock regardless if any of this brokerage firm crash, I still own the stock Do u mean ETFs or mutual funds manage by the brokerage companies that are included on the 500K SPIC? For example if I have 600K in stocks, ETFs and mutual funds, I am insured only for 500K? Comment from : East West Picayune

Of course, any insurance only works if the insurance company remains solvent If there's a widespread banking failure (ala 1929) will the FDIC/SPIC be around to bail out everyone? Doubtful These schemes only work if one or two banks/brokerages fail If the whole shebang goes down we'll all be selling apples on the street corner without being reimbursed for our long-gone cash & securities Comment from : Robert Wilson

Does SIPC insure options, like puts? If I buy puts as insurance on something, and the brokerage goes under, could those puts disappear? Comment from : beelzebob

Fidelity will not go broke, take it to the bank Comment from : J T

These financial firms don't house your money Your money is invested in securities You still own those securities So relax, sit tight, and ignore all the noise Comment from : Steve-0-0-7

Thank you for the video, but what about asset segregation? Please see below "The securities in your account—including fully paid securities for stocks and bonds and excess margin securities—are segregated in compliance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission's Customer Protection Rule This is the legal requirement for all US broker-dealers Your segregated assets are not available to general creditors and are protected against creditors' claims in the unlikely event that a broker-dealer becomes insolvent" Comment from : SuperX zhang

Fantastic information!!! Thank you 😺 Comment from : Lee Withey

I only watched about 2/3 of the video, so apologies if this was covered & I missed it When Silicon Valley Bank went belly up, President Biden made everyone whole, including those who were over the FDIC/SIPC limits If that's correct, my 1st question would be why ? 2nd question, would he do the same thing for me ? brI have 3 separate accounts at Fidelity HSA: 27K - IRA: 82K - And a taxable brokerage account $1,017,00000 brIf Fidelity went belly up, would I be out $517,00000, or would President Biden make me whole, as he did for the depositors @ SVB ? Comment from : Steve

Now you’re scaring me I just moved my money out from the banks to these brokerages Comment from : Big Al

You made a point of saying that if we ended up being reimbursed in cash, it would be for the stock's value on "the date we filed our claim," as opposed to the date of the brokerage firm collapse If our stock was on the rise at the time of the brokerage firm collapse, and we wanted to try to time our claim for a better valuation, what is the timeframe for filing a claim? Comment from : filmbuff000

Good stuff Thanks for sharing Comment from : American Exploring

But doesn't the DTCC actually own all stock that aren't DRSed with a transfer agent?brThe difference between actual and beneficial ownership might matter if a brokerage goes under, no? Comment from : Ask Why

so if i have funds at fidelity and my acciunt includes 200k in money market and another 200k in brokered cd's would that 400k be considered cash at the brokerage and therefor on;y eligible for the 250k insurance coverage (before considering the excess coverage)? Comment from : not done yet

This is great information as I have been wondering what happens to my investments should my brokerage company go bust Thankfully per this video my brokerage company is in great shape as far as SIPC Thank you Comment from : Ted Fisk

Actually very surprised that Vanguards excess coverage wasn't higher considering how enormous Vanguard's financial size is in the market Also, your video's are professional and easy to understand Nice job Comment from : sean e

Stocks you bought do not belong be schwab or fidelity Comment from : Michelle Ngo

Schwab is also a bank so does sioc still apply? Comment from : Inez Ascari

Banks fail because they lend out their depositors' money So how does a Broakerage fail? Massive, widespread Margin Calls their customers cannot meet? Comment from : Nofer Trunions

Are you a stock broker Comment from : James D Baxter

Really worried about Schwab Comment from : Native2458

what i dont understand is that if i have 750K in Charles swchwabs and 250k is in cash and the rest are stock Will I get both FDIC and SIPC coverage? Comment from : Billy Hamlen

What can SIPC do if my assets have been re-hypothecated (used as collateral) From what I read SIPC can't recover assets the broker doesn't have Are my securities just numbers in a computer or are they actually in my name? The SIPC can't just create stock shares from scratch to "replace" them What if the brokerage fraudulently sold more shares than it actually has when it fails? Or what if my purchases haven't settled between the time I bought them, and the brokerage failed? Comment from : Placebo Gazebo

I am confused by the following email from Vanguard re: my Federal MM fund "Vanguard funds not held in a brokerage account are held by The Vanguard Group, Inc, and are not protected by SIPC Brokerage assets are held by Vanguard Brokerage Services, a division of Vanguard Marketing Corporation, member FINRA and SIPC" Shouldn't all Vanguard funds be protected be SPIC protected? Is the Vanguard Group Inc Separate and different from Vanguard Marketing Corp and therefore not SPIC protected? I would appreciate clarification on their email considering the present issue regarding safety of securities Thanks Paul Comment from : Paul Field
