For Your Protection

We maintain discretion over your investment account so that we can be responsive to making changes when changes need to be made.  We do not take custody of your assets, however our custodian, Pershing, monitors all of our investment activities. Through Pershing, your account is offered the highest protection in the industry.  Pershing, which is owned by Bank of NY Mellon, is the world’s largest asset custodian with over $20 trillion in assets.  Both Pershing and SSG, our clearing house, are regulated by FINRA and MSRB, different regulators that oversee our business. 

SSG is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) created by Congress in 1970.  When a brokerage firm is closed due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties and customer assets are missing, SIPC steps in to provide account protection up to $500,000, of which $100,000 may be for cash claims.
