In the unlikely event that Interactive Brokers becomes insolvent, the SIPC will step in to protect investors' assets. This includes facilitating the transfer of securities and cash to another brokerage firm, or making payments to investors up to the insurance limits.

Interactive Brokers prioritizes investor safety by going above and beyond regulatory requirements. One of the ways they do this is by being a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The SIPC is a non-profit organization established to protect the assets of investors in case of brokerage firm insolvency. This protection is crucial for investors who entrust their funds to brokerages for trading purposes.

As a SIPC member, Interactive Brokers ensures that its customers' assets are insured up to a limit of $500,000, including a $250,000 limit specifically for cash claims. This insurance coverage provides significant peace of mind for investors.

The SIPC insurance coverage applies to a wide range of securities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment products held by customers at Interactive Brokers. It covers both cash and securities held in customers' accounts.
