Account Protection
Holding your securities in street name with us eliminates the need for you to hold stock certificates, deposit dividend checks, and clip bond coupons; you also receive automatic adjustments and credits for stock dividends and splits. This is also an excellent tool if you have stocks that pay dividends and want them reinvested in full and fractional shares with no commission cost.
Unlike many brokerage firms that set dollar limits on account protection, Wachovia Securities does not limit its account protection. Coverage for cash and securities in protected client accounts is provided from two sources. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) protects up to $500,000, of which $100,000 may be cash. We provide additional protection, at no cost to you, for the remaining net equity balance, if any, of the cash and securities in your accounts. This coverage does not protect against losses from any change in the market values of investments. More information about SIPC coverage can be found at www.sipc.com.
