Investor Protection

People's Securities is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ( SIPC ) and the securities of its customers are protected up to $500,000 with a limit of $100,000 for cash holdings. In addition, People's Securities carries "excess" SIPC coverage. This "Excess SIPC" protection, from Customer Asset Protection Company, provides protection of Full Net Equity of Securities and Cash, with no limitation on aggregate firm or per customer coverage. The additional securities and cash protection is of the same type and nature as provided by SIPC, but at a higher limit. However, the additional protection excludes any money-market positions or mutual funds positions that exceed the $500,000 SIPC limit. SIPC and "excess SIPC" protection does not guarantee the quality of the investments or provide protection against losses from fluctuating market value.
