Securities Investor Protection Corporation is a nonprofit organization created by US government to protect brokerage accounts against losses due to failure of brokerage houses. The maximum coverage is $500,000 per customer, with a limit of $100,000 on cash equivalents (e.g. money or money market funds). All brokers and dealers registered with the SEC are required to be members of SIPC.
