assets protected
We work hard to make CF Securities a safe place for your money. Whether you hold securities like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or money market funds in a brokerage account, we have your assets protected. Here are answers to the most common questions about all the ways CF Securities works to keep your money safe.
How are my securities at CF Securities protected?
The first thing to remember is your securities—like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, or money market funds—held at CF Securities are yours. The SEC's Customer Protection Rule safeguards customer assets at brokerage firms by preventing firms from using customer assets to finance their own proprietary businesses. At CF Securities, clients' fully paid securities are segregated from other firm assets and held at third party depository institutions and custodians such as the Depository Trust Company and Bank of New York. There are reporting and auditing requirements in place by government regulators to help ensure all broker-dealers comply with this rule. In the very unlikely event that CF Securities should become insolvent, these segregated securities are not available to general creditors and are protected against creditors' claims. If you have a margin account with a current loan balance, CF Securities may borrow a portion of the securities pursuant to the loan consent provision of your account agreement. If there is not a current margin loan balance, or it is not a margin account, securities will not be borrowed out of your account. Per regulation, any securities that are borrowed are fully collateralized with cash that is held in reserve for clients.
