Best Answer

Scottrade is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities held by investors up to $500,000, including a maximum of $100,000 in cash claims*. A brochure with the details of SIPC protection is available at www.sipc.org There is a good chance your cash at Scottrade will be involved in the bank sweep program allowing you to pick up FDIC insurance rather than FDIC eliminating issues related to the disclaimer below. If you are unsure call your local Scottrade branch.

*In order for cash to be covered by SIPC or excess SIPC, cash held in an account must be for the purpose of, or as a result of, securities transactions. Cash held in a securities account for the purpose of earning interest, which was not the result of a securities transaction, may not be covered by SIPC or excess SIPC.
