Well that may protect them from losing $$$ on a client, but certainly doesn't mean they won't go bust in their trading or other activitys. Glad i checked this before putting any cash in an account. I am more concerned with just the fact that they don't have it, than with the limits, seems a little strange, even cyber and portal have additional insurance. It would seem if they want to attract larger accounts this would be a priority and if they don't that raises another red flag. Oh well my choice, not worth the risk to me, and having to worry about keeping less than 100k in cash in the account is not worth the trouble IMO. Thanks for the info
