Custody of Client Assets - Our Investment Custodian

 

What is a Custodian?

A custodian is a financial institution that has certain regulatory responsibilities for assets in a customer’s investment account. As a registered investment adviser, OverShare Advice and Planning, LLC is required to have a custodian. Investments that you entrust to us are placed in custody with TD Ameritrade Institutional — one of the largest clearing providers in the industry. A clearing firm is an organization that, among other things, handles the execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions.

brokerage and custody services to over 4,000 fee-based independent Registered Investment Advisors (

Account Protection

 

SIPC protection

TD Ameritrade, Inc. is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation(SIPC).

Securities in your account protected up to $500,000, which includes a
$250,000 limit for cash. For details, please see www.sipc.org.

Additionally, TD Ameritrade provides each client $149.5 million worth of protection for securities and $2 million of protection for cash through supplemental coverage provided by London insurers.

In the event of a brokerage insolvency, a client may receive amounts due from the trustee in bankruptcy and then SIPC. Supplemental coverage is paid out after the trustee and SIPC payouts and under such coverage each client is limited to a combined return of $152 million from a trustee, SIPC, and London insurers. The TD Ameritrade supplemental coverage has an aggregate limit of $500 million over all customers.

This policy provides coverage following brokerage insolvency and does not protect against loss in market value of the securities.
