Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970

Legislation in the United States that established the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The SIPC insures investors in case their broker-dealer firms fail. In the event of failure of a broker-dealer firm, its clients are protected up to $500,000 of their total equity investments and up to $100,000 in cash. It also protects investors from fraud or misappropriation on the part of their broker-dealers. It is important to note that the SIPC does not protect against bad investments, nor does it cover any futures or commodity contracts. It is not a government entity; it is a non-profit organization to which most brokers and dealers registered with the SEC are required to belong.

Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970
