The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a Federally mandated insurance company that protects securities investors from harm if a broker/dealer defaults. Since most investors rely on a broker to handle custody of the investor's assets, the broker legally owns those assets. In the event of fraud or bankruptcy by the broker, the SIPC compensates the investors to make them whole. |
