Mutual funds accounts are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC only insures bank accounts (i.e., checking accounts and savings accounts, not mutual funds accounts). Anyone who invests in mutual funds is taking a certain amount of risk. Those funds can (and usually do) increase in value, but they can also decrease in value. If they decrease in value, that money is not going to be repaid by insurance. It is simply lost.

Only the $100,000 dollar amount is insured at each insured bank including principal and interest due. You cannot have more than this dollar amount insured regardless of how many accounts you have or with how many different branches or division of the bank the deposits are in. You can however have more than $100k if it is separated into different accounts that each have differing legal structures of ownership. Some investment and retirement accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000.
