MEMBERS OF REGULATORY &
INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS

Like other financial institutions, Fidelity and Schwab are members of various regulatory and industry organizations. These organizations provide a variety of investor protections via governmental and stock exchange regulations as well as insurance provided by the SIPC. In addition, both have supplemental policies to cover excess losses. While none of this insurance protects against declining values in your securities, it does provide protection for the securities themselves.
