Our firm has a contractual agreement with RBC Clearing & Custody, a division of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, to serve as our clearing firm. This fully disclosed clearing agreement states the responsibilities of each party. Prior to the agreement becoming effective, RBC Clearing & Custody is responsible for making all disclosures to our firm’s designated examining authority as required by FINRA Rule 4311.  Each client of our firm is notified of the relationship via a disclosure letter. The disclosure letter details the responsibilities that our firm (the introducing broker-dealer) and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the clearing firm) have to the client.

SIPC & additional coverage for client accounts

Our clearing firm, RBC Clearing & Custody, is a division of RBC Capital Markets, LLC. RBC Capital Markets, LLC, is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). SIPC is a nonprofit membership corporation funded by its member security broker-dealers. SIPC protects the securities clients of its members in the event of the failure of a member firm. SIPC reimburses clients the cash value of their securities up to $500,000 per client.  Any lost cash in a client’s account would be reimbursed by SIPC up to $250,000 (reducing the $500,000 above).

RBC Capital Markets, LLC, purchases an additional policy that offers coverage in excess of the protection provided by SIPC.

A $400 million aggregate limit applies to this additional coverage.

Note: Neither SIPC protection, nor protection in excess of that offered by SIPC, covers a decline in the value of a client’s assets due to market loss. Additional information is available upon request or at www.sipc.org
