美國盈透證券賬戶保護

IB開戶合同聲明裏關于賬戶保護的內容:
6.1 . 股票賬戶的保護
如果您的股票期貨合約中的倉位是在股票賬戶中承轉的,其將會受到有關用戶資金和股票的SEC 法規的保護。這些法規禁止經紀商/交易商使用用戶的資金和股票進行融資。因此,經紀人/交易人被要求留出與應付給用戶的資金和從用戶處應收的資金之間的差額部分相同數額的資金。這些法規也要求經紀人/交易人將其爲用戶所承轉的已付和超額保證金分開。
證券投資人保護公司也保護股票賬戶中的倉位。SIPC 是由成員經紀商/交易商在1970 年成立的一個非營利、非政府成員公司。其主要角色是,如果持有基金和股票的經紀商/交易商破産,將這些財産歸還給用戶。SIPC 的保險範圍適用于現行(以及以前的,在一些情况下)SIPC 成員的用戶。大多數在SEC 注册的經紀人/交易人是SIPC 成員;那些少數不是SIPC 成員的必須將該等事實向其用戶披露。爲了檢查一個公司是否是SIPC 成員,或者撥打SIPC 成員部門電話(202) 371-8300,或者寫信至SIPC 成員部門,證券投資人保護公司,05 Fifteenth Street, NW, Suite 800,Washington, DC 20005-2215。
SIPC 的保險限額爲每位用戶$500,000,包括高達$100,000 的現金。例如,如果用戶的賬戶中擁有價值爲$200,000 的1,000 股XYZ 股票和$10,000現金,股票和現金餘額都將受到保護。但是,如果用戶的賬戶中擁有價值爲$500,000 的股票和$100,000 現金,僅其中的$500,000 資産會受到保護。
出于SIPC 保險的目的,用戶是指那些出于股票交易目的在SIPC 成員公司擁有股票或現金的人。 SIPC 不會對那些存放在經紀商/交易商處僅爲了獲得利息的用戶資金提供保護。出于SIPC 保險的目的,經紀商/交易商的內部人員,如其所有人、官員以及合夥人不包含在用戶的範圍之內。
How does the aggregate loss limit affect the protection of my account?
IB’s supplementary protection from Lloyd’s of London is subject to an aggregate loss limit of $150 million. This is the maximum amount available to cover IB’s customers in excess of SIPC protection. In the unlikely event of a financial failure of the firm coupled with client assets not being fully recovered, SIPC (or a trustee appointed by the federal courts) would advance funds to each eligible client Because most accounts maintain less than $500,000 in net equity, SIPC protection would cover the large majority of customer assets held by IB. In the extremely unlikely event of a total loss of customer assets, the supplementary protection would be needed to cover a relatively small portion of the total net customer equity held by IB. Although possible, it is improbable that the aggregate loss limit would be reached. However, if the supplementary protection fell short of covering all customer assets, the coverage would be allocated on a pro rata basis to the client accounts that required protection.

In the press release, founder and CEO Thomas Peterffy noted that shareholders' equity of $4.4 billion makes IBG the largest in equity capital among those firms that did not receive government support in the industry, and provides a solid footing on which to keep growing.
