SIPC的保障金額有多少?一個破產美股經紀公司的客戶拿回所有已經被註冊或在過程中註冊在他們的名下的證券(如股票和債券)。接下來,該公司的剩餘客戶資產將按比例和共享基金一起分成與索賠相稱的部分。如果在該公司的客戶帳戶上沒有足夠的資金來滿足這些限制內的賠償,SIPC的儲備基金就用來補充差額,最賠償金高達50萬美元/客戶,包括最高25萬美元的現金索賠(帳戶中的貨幣市場基金會被視為證券),英文原文為:SIPC protects the accounts of customers, up to $500,000 for securities and cash (including a $250,000 limit for cash only)。把清算經紀公司的成本考慮在內,額外資金可以用於滿足客戶投訴後的剩餘部分。
There is no requirement that a customer reside in or be a citizen of the United States. A non-US citizen with an account at a brokerage firm that is a member of SIPC is treated the same as a resident or citizen of the United States with an account at a brokerage firm that is a member of SIPC.(來自於該頁面:What SIPC Protects)
