Interactive Brokers Canada Inc. is a Member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). As such, your Interactive Brokers Canada account is covered by CIPF for up to $1,000,000 for losses related to securities and cash balances that result only if Interactive Brokers Canada becomes insolvent. CIPF does not cover customers' losses that result from other causes such as changing market values of securities, unsuitable investments or the default of an issuer of securities. Separate accounts of customers are each entitled to the maximum coverage of $1,000,000 unless they are combined with other separate accounts.

In addition to CIPF coverage, Interactive Brokers insurance protection for each customer securities account is U.S. $30 million ($1 million of which may be in cash). The market value of your stocks, options, warrants, debt, and cash--denominated in all currencies--is covered by this insurance. Futures, options on futures, and single stock futures are not covered, but available cash will be swept from your futures account to your securities account periodically so as to take advantage of insurance coverage as much as possible. As with all securities firms, this insurance provides protection against failure of a broker-dealer, not against market depreciation of your assets.

For the purpose of determining a customer account, accounts with like names and titles (e.g. Individual/John Smith and Individual/John Smith) are combined, but accounts with different titles are not (e.g. Individual/John Smith and IRA/John Smith).

This protection is provided jointly by the Securities Insurance Protection Corporation (SIPC) and Lloyd’s of London. SIPC provides the first $500,000 per customer (of which $100,000 may be in cash) and Lloyd’s provides the remaining $29.5 million (of which $900,000 may be in cash). The total protection offered by Lloyd’s is capped at $150 million.

SIPC is a non-profit, membership corporation funded by broker-dealers which are members of SIPC. For more information about SIPC and answers to frequently asked questions (such as how SIPC works, what is protected, how to file a claim, etc.), please refer to the following websites:
