Your assets are protected by SIPC

T. Rowe Price and Pershing are members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation® (SIPC®). As a result, investor-owned assets held in custody by Pershing are protected by SIPC up to $500,000 (of which $250,000 can be claims for cash awaiting reinvestment). For details, please go to sipc.org. Please note that SIPC does not protect against any loss due to market fluctuation. In addition to SIPC protection, Pershing provides coverage in excess of SIPC limits from Lloyd's, in conjunction with other insurers. The excess of SIPC coverage provides the following protection for assets held in custody by Pershing and its London-based affiliate, Pershing Securities Limited:

  • An aggregate loss limit of $1 billion for eligible securities—over all client accounts.

  • A per-client loss limit of $1.9 million for cash awaiting reinvestment—within the aggregate loss limit of $1 billion.

The excess of SIPC coverage does not protect against loss due to market fluctuation. For more information about Lloyd's of London, please see lloyds.com.

Pershing's excess of SIPC coverage is provided by Lloyd's in conjunction with XL Group Ltd., Axis Capital, Great Lakes Reinsurance (UK) SE, and Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company.
