Your Assurance of Safety

The Apex Clearing Asset Protection Guarantee

Apex Clearing is a member of SIPC, a non-profit, non-governmental corporation created under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. It has helped investors dodge billions of dollars in potential losses. Tradier brokerage is also a member of the service. SIPC protects against the loss of cash or securities held by SIPC-member brokerage firms in the event of financial trouble or bankruptcy. Securities in your account are protected up to $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash. Your SIPC coverage protects most forms of securities such as notes, stocks, mutual funds, and also other investment company shares. However, SIPC does not provide coverage for commodity goods such as gold, commodity contracts, or options. In the event of a brokerage insolvency, the client may receive amounts due from the trustee in bankruptcy and SIPC; however, SIPC coverage is not a catch-all form of financial security, and it won’t cover for you in case of bad stockpiling or a recession.

To continue to deliver risk-free services to its customers, Apex Clearing has purchased an insurance policy that helps them supplement SIPC protection. The following insurance protection is commonly referred to as an “excess SIPC.” This protection is made available to customers in the case where SIPC limits are exhausted. The additional insurance provides securities and cash up to an aggregate limit of around $150 million. This coverage is subject to excess SIPC coverage of up to $37.5 million for securities and $900,000 for cash*. The additional protection does not provide coverage for a loss in the market value of the securities or recession.

Apex Clearing is also a member of FINRA, the security industry’s self-regulatory body that oversees U.S. broker-dealers, promoting fair financial markets. Apex is also required under NASD rule 3230 and NYSE rule 382 to disclose the details of the clearing agreement of the firm. For more information on FINRA, please visit https://www.finra.org/.
