That's what SIPC protects you against. I wonder how many claims they could pay out at once, though.

LLCF,

It is my understanding that SPIC insurance protects you against fraud. Your MM fund is backed by debt and if the fund goes below $1 par, your firm can put cash or debt into the fund to make it whole, but is not obligated to do this. If there is fraud associated with the MM fund then the SPIC insurance will cover your loss. By the way mismanagement is different than fraud. <g>
